Neck pain is an ordinary condition bringing patients into our Sitka chiropractic clinic! Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka sees that chronic neck pain is a prevalent issue nowadays. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is here to help coordinate some relief from the neck pain with a Sitka chiropractic treatment plan incorporating spinal manipulation and exercise.
EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?
Neck pain treatment options abound. One common method is manual therapy. (Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka offers gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another tactic is exercise. A third is combining the two. A new study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy alone enhanced perceived neck pain sooner than exercise. Therapeutic exercise lessened disability faster than manual therapy. (1) Another research project compared manual therapy plus exercise to exercise by itself over a month. Manual therapy plus exercise increased short- and medium-term neck pain more effectively than exercise by itself. (2) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka has observed that patient participation enhances clinical outcomes, too. Merging the most effective therapies for neck pain relief is the better option.
COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka goes with the research. Research made evident a safe, gentle form of manual manipulation, Cox® Technic, dropped intradiscal pressures in the cervical spine. (3) In the clinical comparison study of Cox® flexion distraction only to exercise only for neck pain to the combination of the two that combining the two was advantageous. (4) Cox® Technic flexion distraction for neck pain relief eased pain in a mean of 13.2 visits in a study of cervical spine radiculopathy patients. (5) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka finds that Sitka neck pain patients are anxious to help themselves by doing suggested neck exercises in addition to making their chiropractic treatment visits.
