Sandy Springs Neck Pain Helped by Stretching

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.
