NECK PAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR?! Chiropractic Solutions IS HERE TO HELP!

Joy! Joy! Joy! That’s this time of year…for most of us. For some it can be a pain in the neck. Chiropractic Solutions is here to help! Chiropractic care at Chiropractic Solutions is calm, effective, and proven to alleviate pain in a fairly brief timeframe. Non-specific neck pain patients reported that they felt improvement in their neck disability after one cervical spine manipulation treatment. (1) Even for more difficult cases (like the following), The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management provides pain-relieving outcomes. One patient with neck pain due to narrowing of the cervical spine foramen and radiating arm pain due to a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported reduced pain and improved function in 10 treatments over a month. The patient was without pain and fully functional 8 months later. (2) Another patient with a post-surgical C6-7 fusion experiencing neck pain and back pain stated that he had decreased pain (which dropped from 8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits over 3 months with Cox® treatment. (3) A review of published papers on the effectiveness of manual therapy for chronic neck pain, described as a safe and less painful method to ease chronic neck pain, proposed that manipulative therapy decreases the degree of chronic neck pain and neck disability. (4) And most patients do not have to continue care ‘forever’. A recent study wrote that chiropractors don’t recommend continued care except for certain types of neck pain patients: only 39% of patients were recommended for care beyond 4 weeks with long duration of neck pain being the most commong guide for continued care. (5) Our Cox® Technic treatment plan for cervical spine pain is gentle and effective for San Jose neck pain whether it’s acute or chronic, radiating into the shoulder or down the arm or centralized to the neck. This time of year, neck pain patients walk in our door every day! We are ready to help each of them re-discover the JOY of the season!

 

San Jose CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!

Cervical spine pain patients who want sustained San Jose pain relief often get it once they add exercise. A simple elastic band exercise program proved effective for non-specific neck pain decrease and improved strength of cervical spine flexor and extensor muscles as well as scapular. (6) To improve neck pain and disability effects, a study found that isometric exercises significantly lowered neck disability index scores after 4 weeks for cervical spondylosis patients. (7) These are simple exercises that do not take long to do or to have a beneficial effect on neck pain. So good!
