Team effort. That’s what it’s all about when it comes to
success for many things in life. Neck pain is no exception. Plus, neck pain
doesn’t just happen due to one cause. Spinal discs, muscles, tendons and more
play into the equation. Disc degeneration, injury, nutrition and more play in as
well. Nothing happens alone. So McMurray Chiropractic Solutions is part of the San Jose
chiropractic treatment plan team for neck pain relief. San Jose neck pain
patients know they can rely on McMurray Chiropractic Solutions to do its part and get all the
parts working together.
And one of the best parts of being a chiropractor for your
San Jose chiropractor is the manual hands-on treatment. According to
a new research report, manual therapy is more relieving to patients with chronic
neck pain than exercise though exercise added to manual therapy does improve
patients’ noticing an improved change in their pain status. (1) That’s the way
McMurray Chiropractic Solutions sees it. The team approach of exercise and treatment is the way
to go.
Now, just as they find in the low back, researchers find
that neck muscles are weak in neck pain patients, especially in those with a
loss of cervical lordosis (curvature of the cervical spine). Cervical spine
exercise programs that include exercises for neck extensor muscles benefit
these neck pain patients. (2) McMurray Chiropractic Solutions has seen greater relief when
San Jose patients exercise these muscles, too.
One type of exercise, deep craniocervical flexor training of
the neck muscles, is an exercise neck pain patients can do to activate weak
neck muscles. It improves neck function. When combined with thoracic
manipulation, it’s even more effective for pain relief, improved range of
motion, muscle function and neck disability for nonspecific neck pain patients.
(3) So combining San Jose chiropractic spinal manipulation at
McMurray Chiropractic Solutions with at-home exercise for weak neck muscles is a boost to your
clinical outcome!
