Vancouver Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation
Neck pain is an everyday condition drawing patients into our Vancouver chiropractic clinic! Vancouver Disc Centers finds that chronic neck pain is a widespread problem today. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Vancouver Disc Centers is prepared to help deliver some relief from the neck pain with a Vancouver chiropractic treatment plan incorporating spinal manipulation and exercise.
EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?
Neck pain treatment options abound. One common method is manual therapy. (Vancouver Disc Centers uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another tactic is exercise. A third is mixing both. A new study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy by itself enhanced perceived neck pain more quickly than exercise. Therapeutic exercise decreased disability faster than manual therapy. (1) A further research project assessed manual therapy plus exercise to exercise alone over 4 weeks. Manual therapy plus exercise improved short- and medium-term neck pain more effectively than exercise by itself. (2) Vancouver Disc Centers has found that patient participation enhances clinical outcomes, too. Merging the most valuable therapies for neck pain relief is the better option.
COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
Vancouver Disc Centers follows the research. Research demonstrated that a safe, gentle type of manual manipulation, Cox® Technic, dropped cervical spine intradiscal pressures. (3) In the clinical comparison study of Cox® flexion distraction only to exercise alone for neck pain to the combination of both that combining the two was valuable. (4) Cox® Technic flexion distraction for neck pain relief relieved pain in a mean of 13.2 visits in a study of cervical spine radiculopathy patients. (5) Vancouver Disc Centers finds that Vancouver neck pain patients are ready to help themselves by doing recommended neck exercises as well as making their chiropractic treatment visits.
