Augusta Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation
Neck pain is a common condition drawing patients to our Augusta chiropractic clinic! Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic sees that chronic neck pain is a widespread issue nowadays. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic is prepared to help find some relief from the neck pain with a Augusta chiropractic treatment plan involving spinal manipulation and exercise.
EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?
Neck pain treatment options flourish. One common method is manual therapy. (Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another approach is exercise. A third is combining the two. A new 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) Another research project assessed manual therapy plus exercise to exercise alone over 4 weeks. Manual therapy with exercise improved short- and medium-term neck pain more effectively than exercise alone. (2) Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic has found that patient participation improves clinical outcomes, too. Combining the most valuable therapies for neck pain relief is the way to go.
COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic follows the research. Research demonstrated that a safe, gentle type of manual manipulation, Cox® Technic, dropped intradiscal pressures in the cervical spine. (3) In the clinical comparison study of Cox® flexion distraction only to exercise only for neck pain to the combination of both that using both was favorable. (4) Cox® Technic flexion distraction for neck pain relief relieved pain in a mean of 13.2 visits in a report on cervical spine radiculopathy patients. (5) Lombardy Chiropractic Clinic finds that Augusta neck pain patients are ready to help themselves by doing recommended neck exercises in addition to making their chiropractic treatment visits.
