February 2020 Healthy News from Chiropractic Solutions: Chiropractic Help for Neck Pain
Neck pain bothers 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors discovered that 33% of the patients are over 65 years of age. 45.5% experienced neck pain. 31.3% also experienced headache. (1) A recent committee review of the latest significant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to handle neck pain in adults involving neck pain with headache or radicular symptoms via chiropractic stated that chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are the “best practice recommendations.” (2) 82% of the older adults visited one other healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to handle neck pain. The chiropractors administered manipulation of the thoracic spine, neck massage, and adjustment that resulted in help for dizziness, neck pain, headache and migraine (though this takes more treatments). (1) San Jose chiropractic relief for neck pain increases in documented support. It is also being reported as economical as well as drug- and opioid-preventative. A study in Missouri documented that including chiropractic in the Medicaid system saved $14.1 and $49.2 million, decreased in spinal surgery expenditures and use/abuse of opioid prescription drugs.

Non-specific neck pain patients do well with exercise as a component of their treatment plan. Such patients were supervised in 12 exercise sessions 3 times a week with either traditional exercises vs traditional exercises in addition to sensorimotor training. Pain, intensity, muscle endurance and disability improved in both. The combined group significantly advanced in joint position sense and other parameters like endurance, dynamic balance and walking speed. (4) Increasing the number of steps walked a day over a 6-month period reduced neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers all day. It didn’t decrease pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of San Jose neck pain is a great goal!
