February 2020 Healthy News from Cross Chiropractic Center: Chiropractic Help for Neck Pain

Neck pain bothers 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors found that 1/3 of the patients are older than 65 years of age. 45.5% had neck pain. 31.3% also experienced headache. (1) A recent committee review of the most current significant 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 reported that chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are the “best practice recommendations.” (2) 82% of the older adults used another healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to manage neck pain. The chiropractors administered 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). (1) Sandy Springs chiropractic relief for neck pain grows in documented support. It’s also being found as economical as well as drug- and opioid-preventative. A review in Missouri reported that including chiropractic in the Medicaid system saved $14.1 and $49.2 million, decreased in spinal surgery expenses and use/abuse of opioid prescription drugs. (3) Chiropractic services at Cross Chiropractic Center successfully relieves Sandy Springs neck pain for many.

Non-specific neck pain patients do well 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 advanced 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 time reduced neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers day in and day out. It didn’t reduce pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Sandy Springs neck pain is a great goal!
