St Peters Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation
Neck pain is an ordinary condition bringing patients to our St Peters chiropractic clinic! Old Mill Chiropractic finds that chronic neck pain is a frequent issue today. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Old Mill Chiropractic is here to help coordinate some relief from the neck pain with a St Peters chiropractic treatment plan involving spinal manipulation and exercise.
EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?
Neck pain treatment options flourish. One common approach is manual therapy. (Old Mill Chiropractic offers gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another tactic is exercise. A third is mixing both. A recent study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy alone improved perceived neck pain sooner than exercise. Therapeutic exercise decreased disability earlier than manual therapy. (1) A further 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) Old Mill Chiropractic has observed that patient participation boosts clinical outcomes, too. Using the most effective therapies for neck pain relief is the way to go.
COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
Old Mill Chiropractic goes with the research. Research demonstrated that a safe, gentle form of manual manipulation, Cox® Technic, decreased 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 beneficial. (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) Old Mill Chiropractic realizes that St Peters neck pain patients are ready to help themselves by doing recommended neck exercises as well as making their chiropractic treatment visits.
