Satterwhite Chiropractic is here to help with that!
EFFECTS OF SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN
Neck pain alongside Oxford back pain are foremost causes of disability around the world and here in Oxford. Chiropractic is being related as a safe, effective option for management of back and neck pain for quite a few sufferers. Chiropractic is explained as care focused on spine care and treatment of spine pain conditions via spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation is described as inhibiting back and neck pain partly by spine related mechanisms and possibly via peripheral mechanisms that regulate inflammatory pain responses. More research is suggested to determine just what the specific and non-specific effects of spinal manipulation are. (1) We utilize spinal manipulation daily at Satterwhite Chiropractic.
SPINAL MANIPULATION CONTAINS NECK PAIN TREATMENT ESCALATION
Spinal manipulation for neck pain is demonstrated to reduce the risk of treatment escalation. 42% of neck pain patients wanting relief find that their treatment is escalated to include care like imaging, injection, emergency room visit, or surgery. Such risk was 2.38 times greater in those who got care other than spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation reduced the risk. Over 90% of spinal manipulation is delivered by chiropractors in the United States. (2) Your Oxford chiropractor delivers specialized, research-based, safe, and gentle spinal manipulation for neck pain relief.
SPECIFIC FORM OF DOCUMENTED SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
As an example of how a specific form of spinal manipulation, Cox® Technic flexion distraction, facilitates in relieving pain, a case report of a patient with neurofibromatosis who experienced headaches, temporomandibular discomfort as well as neck, scapular and lumbar pain, manually treated cervical spine flexion distraction spinal manipulation together with myofascial release, patient education about modifying her workplace ergonomics, and at-home care decreased her neck and thoracic spine pain and headache frequency. (3) Satterwhite Chiropractic works one-on-one with each neck pain sufferer to provide him/her the tools and understanding to attain such relief.
PATIENT SELF-CARE AND UNDERSTANDING
Giving chronic nonspecific Oxford neck pain patients things they can do to help themselves and to understand their neck pain enriches their outcomes. A study comparing therapeutic exercise alone to therapeutic exercise plus pain neuroscience education to assist their understanding of their condition found that the combination helped more. The combination dropped the patients’ pain-disability scores, pain catastrophizing thoughts, and fear-avoidance beliefs. (4) That’s the goal of care for us at Satterwhite Chiropractic: reduced pain.
