Williamson Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation

Neck pain is an everyday condition bringing patients into our Williamson chiropractic clinic! Apple Country Chiropractic sees that chronic neck pain is a prevalent issue today. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Apple Country Chiropractic is prepared to help find some neck pain relief with a Williamson chiropractic treatment plan involving spinal manipulation and exercise.

EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?

Neck pain treatment options abound. One common method is manual therapy. (Apple Country Chiropractic offers gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another approach is exercise. A third is mixing the two. A new study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy by itself improved perceived neck pain sooner than exercise. Therapeutic exercise reduced disability sooner than manual therapy. (1) An additional research project compared manual therapy plus exercise to exercise alone over 4 weeks. Manual therapy with exercise improved short- and medium-term neck pain better than exercise by itself. (2) Apple Country Chiropractic has found that patient participation improves clinical outcomes, too. Combining the most effective therapies for neck pain relief is the way to go.

COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF

Apple Country Chiropractic follows 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 alone for neck pain to the combination of both 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) Apple Country Chiropractic finds that Williamson neck pain patients are anxious to help themselves by doing recommended neck exercises as well as making their chiropractic treatment visits.
