Everything has its role. Everything fills
a need. In managing neck pain, stretching and spinal mobilization
have their roles in treating the pain,
disability and range of motion dysfunction. They are
needed. Cross Chiropractic Center takes care of many Sandy Springs neck
pain sufferers to restore their lost range of motion due to pain.
Stretching is newly found to be especially
beneficial and can be a helpful adjunct to the chiropractic treatment plan.
BENEFITS OF ADDING STRETCHING TO NECK PAIN TREATMENT PROCEDURES
Cross Chiropractic Center incorporates spinal manipulation and mobilization,
nutrition, exercise, and research-recommended stretching in the
general treatment plan for neck pain be it non-specific
mechanical neck pain or cervical spine radiculopathy. Cross Chiropractic Center uses
The Cox®
Technic System for Spinal Pain Management to ease neck
pain. [[A|In one]17] study, Cox® Technic protocols delivered
complete resolution of the patient’s subjective pain due to
a big C5-C6 disc herniation. (1) In a retrospective study of 39 cervical
spine radiculopathy patients, Cox®
flexion distraction produced pain reduction
in 13.2 treatments (range 6 to 37). (2) A recent
paper reports that for non-specific mechanical neck pain, the addition
of stretching to the plan was more effective at improving
cervical spine motions of extension, right rotation and lateral flexion ranges
of motion without touching pain and
disability. (3) That’s where spinal manipulation and mobilization
come into play. They help address the pain and disability part.
Including stretching and active cervical range of motion exercise is
beneficial and has its role in the
treatment of neck pain. A well-rounded treatment plan for neck pain relief is key! Another study further reported
that neck stretching is one of the most effective physical
therapy interventions. Static and
diagonal active stretching were helpful at reducing
neck disability and increasing cervical spine range of motion. Additionally,
cervical range of motion values significantly increased
at 4 and 6 to 8 weeks [[post-after the ]59] study indicating
beneficial long-term effects of stretching for neck pain,
disability, and function. (4) Keeping abreast of the neck pain
relief studies, Cross Chiropractic Center makes sure to present
benefits of various ways to reduce neck pain.
