Oxford Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation
Neck pain is an everyday condition drawing patients to our Oxford chiropractic clinic! Satterwhite Chiropractic finds that chronic neck pain is a frequent problem today. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Satterwhite Chiropractic is prepared to help deliver some neck pain relief with a Oxford chiropractic treatment plan incorporating spinal manipulation and exercise.
EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?
Neck pain treatment options abound. One common approach is manual therapy. (Satterwhite Chiropractic uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another approach is exercise. A third is combining the two. A recent study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy by itself enhanced perceived neck pain sooner than exercise. Therapeutic exercise reduced disability earlier than manual therapy. (1) A further study compared manual therapy plus exercise to exercise alone over 4 weeks. Manual therapy with exercise increased short- and medium-term neck pain better than exercise alone. (2) Satterwhite Chiropractic has found that patient participation enhances clinical outcomes, too. Using the most effective therapies for neck pain relief is the better option.
COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
Satterwhite Chiropractic goes with the research. Research demonstrated that a safe, gentle type of manual manipulation, Cox® Technic, decreased intradiscal pressures in the cervical spine. (3) In the clinical comparison study of Cox® flexion distraction alone to exercise alone for neck pain to the combination of both that combining the two was valuable. (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) Satterwhite Chiropractic finds that Oxford neck pain patients are ready to help themselves by doing suggested neck exercises in addition to making their chiropractic treatment visits.
