February 2020 Healthy News from Old Mill Chiropractic: Chiropractic Help for Neck Pain
Neck pain affects 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors found that 33% of their patients are over 65 years old. 45.5% suffered with neck pain. 31.3% also suffered headache. (1) A new committee review of the most current relevant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to manage neck pain in adults including 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 used one other healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to handle neck pain. The chiropractors utilized manipulation of the thoracic spine, neck massage, and adjustment that gave rise to help for dizziness, neck pain, headache and migraine (though this takes more treatments).

Non-specific neck pain patients find success with exercise as part of their treatment plan. Such patients were supervised in 12 exercise sessions 3 times a week with either traditional exercises vs traditional exercises plus sensorimotor training. Pain, intensity, muscle endurance and disability improved in both. The combined group significantly improved 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 day in and day out. It did not reduce pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the start of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of St Peters neck pain is a great goal!
