February 2020 Healthy News from Apple Country Chiropractic: Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain

Neck pain affects 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. A survey of 800 Australian chiropractors discovered that 33% of their patients are over 65 years of age. 45.5% suffered with neck pain. 31.3% also had headache. (1) A new committee analysis of the most current relevant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to handle neck pain in adults involving 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 visits). (1) Williamson chiropractic relief for neck pain grows in documented support. It’s also being reported as economical as well as drug- and opioid-preventative. A study in Missouri reported that including chiropractic in the Medicaid system saved $14.1 and $49.2 million, decreased in spinal surgery expenditures and use/abuse of opioid prescription drugs.

Non-specific neck pain patients find success 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 in addition to 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 period reduced neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers all day. It did not reduce pain intensity or disability, but it did decrease the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Williamson neck pain is a great goal!
