Ashburn and Herndon Neck Pain Responds to Chiropractic Care
Does any neck pain sufferer look forward to getting an xray or MRI or injection or surgery? Nope! New studies are explaining how receiving spinal manipulation – 90% of which is done by chiropractors - may help such Ashburn and Herndon neck pain patients avert treatment escalation to imaging/injections/surgery. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is ready to help with that!
EFFECTS OF SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN
Neck pain alongside Ashburn and Herndon back pain are foremost causes of disability around the world and here in Ashburn and Herndon. Chiropractic is being reported as a safe, helpful option for management of back and neck pain for quite a few sufferers. Chiropractic is explained as care focused on spine care and treatment of spine pain conditions via spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation is explained as hindering back and neck pain partly by spine related mechanisms and potentially via peripheral mechanisms that regulate inflammatory pain responses. More research is recommended to determine just what the specific and non-specific effects of spinal manipulation are. (1) We utilize spinal manipulation every day at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn.
SPINAL MANIPULATION CONTAINS NECK PAIN TREATMENT ESCALATION
Spinal manipulation for neck pain is shown to reduce the risk of treatment escalation. 42% of neck pain patients wanting relief find that their treatment is heightened to include care like imaging, injection, emergency room visit, or surgery. Such risk was 2.38 times greater in those who got care other than spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation decreased the risk. Over 90% of spinal manipulation is delivered by chiropractors in the US. (2) Your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor delivers specialized, research-based, safe, and gentle spinal manipulation for neck pain relief.
SPECIFIC FORM OF DOCUMENTED SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
As an example of how a specific form of spinal manipulation, Cox® Technic flexion distraction, helps relieve pain, a case report of a patient with neurofibromatosis who had headaches, temporomandibular discomfort as well as neck, scapular and lumbar pain, manually applied cervical spine flexion distraction spinal manipulation along with myofascial release, patient education about adjusting her workplace ergonomics, and at-home care reduced her neck and thoracic spine pain and headache frequency. (3) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn works one-on-one with each neck pain sufferer to provide him/her the tools and knowledge to attain such relief.
PATIENT SELF-CARE AND UNDERSTANDING
Giving chronic nonspecific Ashburn and Herndon neck pain patients things they can do to help themselves and to understand their neck pain boosts their outcomes. A study comparing therapeutic exercise alone to therapeutic exercise plus pain neuroscience education to assist their understanding of their condition found that the combination was more impactful. The combination decreased the patients’ pain-disability scores, pain catastrophizing thoughts, and fear-avoidance beliefs. (4) That’s the goal of care for us at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn: reduced pain.
