Everything has its place. Everything satisfies
a need. In managing neck pain, stretching and spinal mobilization
have their roles in managing the relief of the pain,
disability and range of motion dysfunction. They’re
needed. Chiropractic Solutions takes care of many San Jose neck
pain sufferers to restore their lost range of motion due to pain.
Stretching is newly documented as especially
beneficial and can be a helpful adjunct to the chiropractic treatment plan.
BENEFITS OF ADDING STRETCHING TO NECK PAIN TREATMENT PROCEDURES
Chiropractic Solutions incorporates spinal manipulation and mobilization,
nutrition, exercise, and research-suggested stretching in the
overall treatment plan for neck pain be it non-specific
mechanical neck pain or cervical spine radiculopathy. Chiropractic Solutions follows
The Cox®
Technic System for Spinal Pain Management to address neck
pain. [[A|In one]17] study, Cox® Technic protocols produced
complete resolution of the patient’s subjective pain from
a large C5-C6 disc herniation. (1) In a retrospective study of 39 cervical
spine radiculopathy patients, Cox®
flexion distraction delivered pain reduction
in 13.2 treatments (ranging from 6 to 37). (2) A recent
paper states that for non-specific mechanical neck pain, the incorporation
of stretching to the plan was more helpful at returning
cervical spine motions of extension, right rotation and lateral flexion ranges
of motion despite not affecting pain and
disability. (3) That’s where spinal manipulation and mobilization
come into play. They help ease the pain and disability part.
Including stretching and active cervical range of motion exercise is
beneficial and has its role in treating neck pain. A well-rounded treatment plan for neck pain relief is important! Another research project further reported
that neck stretching is a most successful physical
therapy intervention. Static and
diagonal active stretching were effective at reducing
neck disability and improving cervical spine range of motion. Additionally,
cervical range of motion values significantly increased
at 4 and 6 to 8 weeks [[post-after the ]59] study suggesting
beneficial long-term effects of stretching for neck pain,
disability, and function. (4) Keeping up with the neck pain
relief studies, Chiropractic Solutions makes sure to share
benefits of various ways to decrease neck pain.
