August 10, 2021

Everything has its role. Everything fills 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 loss. They are needed. Chiropractic Solutions takes care of many San Jose neck pain sufferers to return their lost range of motion due to pain. Stretching is newly found to be 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 general treatment plan for neck pain be it non-specific mechanical neck pain or cervical spine radiculopathy. Chiropractic Solutions uses The Cox® Technic System for Spinal Pain Management to treat 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 reduced pain in 13.2 treatments (ranging from 6 to 37). (2) A newer paper states that for non-specific mechanical neck pain, the incorporation of stretching to the plan was more effective at improving cervical spine motions of extension, right rotation and lateral flexion ranges of motion without affecting pain and disability. (3) That is 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 positive and has its role in treating neck pain. A well-rounded treatment plan for neck pain relief is important! Another study further stated that neck stretching is one of the most successful physical therapy interventions.  Static and diagonal active stretching were helpful at reducing neck disability and increasing cervical spine range of motion. Further, cervical range of motion values significantly showed increases at 4 and 6 to 8 weeks [[post-after the ]59] study suggesting positive long-term effects of stretching for neck pain, disability, and function. (4) Keeping abreast of the neck pain relief studies, Chiropractic Solutions makes certain to share benefits of various ways to reduce neck pain.
