Sandy Springs Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation

Neck pain is a common condition bringing patients to our Sandy Springs chiropractic clinic! Cross Chiropractic Center sees that chronic neck pain is a frequent problem nowadays. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Cross Chiropractic Center is prepared to help deliver some neck pain relief with a Sandy Springs chiropractic treatment plan incorporating spinal manipulation and exercise.

EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?

Neck pain treatment options flourish. One common approach is manual therapy. (Cross Chiropractic Center uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another tactic is exercise. A third is mixing the two. A new study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy alone improved perceived neck pain sooner than exercise. Therapeutic exercise decreased disability faster than manual therapy. (1) A further research project compared manual therapy plus exercise to exercise alone over 4 weeks. Manual therapy plus exercise improved short- and medium-term neck pain better than exercise alone. (2) Cross Chiropractic Center has observed that patient participation enhances clinical outcomes, too. Combining the most effective therapies for neck pain relief is the better option.

COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF

Cross Chiropractic Center goes with the research. Research demonstrated that a safe, gentle form 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 the two that using both was favorable. (4) Cox® Technic flexion distraction for neck pain relief eased pain in a mean of 13.2 visits in a report on cervical spine radiculopathy patients. (5) Cross Chiropractic Center realizes that Sandy Springs neck pain patients are anxious to help themselves by doing suggested neck exercises as well as making their chiropractic treatment visits.
