Richmond Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation
Neck pain is a common condition bringing patients to our Richmond chiropractic clinic! Johnson Chiropractic sees that chronic neck pain is a frequent problem today. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Johnson Chiropractic is prepared to help find some neck pain relief with a Richmond chiropractic treatment plan incorporating spinal manipulation and exercise.
EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?
Neck pain treatment options flourish. One common method is manual therapy. (Johnson Chiropractic uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another tactic is exercise. A third is combining both. A new study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy alone improved perceived neck pain more quickly than exercise. Therapeutic exercise decreased disability earlier than manual therapy. (1) An additional research project assessed manual therapy plus exercise to exercise by itself over 4 weeks. Manual therapy with exercise increased short- and medium-term neck pain more effectively than exercise alone. (2) Johnson Chiropractic has observed that patient participation improves clinical outcomes, too. Combining the most valuable therapies for neck pain relief is the way to go.
COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
Johnson Chiropractic follows the research. Research revealed that a safe, gentle type of manual manipulation, Cox® Technic, dropped cervical spine intradiscal pressures. (3) In the clinical comparison study of Cox® flexion distraction only to exercise only for neck pain to the combination of both that using both was favorable. (4) Cox® Technic flexion distraction for neck pain relief relieved pain in a mean of 13.2 visits in a report on cervical spine radiculopathy patients. (5) Johnson Chiropractic realizes that Richmond neck pain patients are ready to help themselves by doing suggested neck exercises in addition to making their chiropractic treatment visits.
