February 2020 Healthy News from Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn: Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain

Neck pain bothers 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. A survey of 800 Australian chiropractors discovered that 1/3 of the patients are older than 65 years of age. 45.5% suffered with neck pain. 31.3% also had headache. (1) A new committee review of the most current significant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to manage neck pain in adults including 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 one other healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to handle 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) Ashburn chiropractic relief for neck pain increases in documented support. It is 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, reduced in spinal surgery expenditures and use/abuse of opioid prescription drugs.

Non-specific neck pain patients find success with exercise as a component of their treatment plan. Such patients were supervised in 12 exercise sessions 3 times a week with either traditional exercises vs traditional exercises plus 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) Adding to the daily walking step count over a 6-month time decreased neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers day in and day out. It did not reduce pain intensity or disability, but it did decrease the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Ashburn neck pain is a great goal!
