Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is prepared to help deliver some relief from the neck pain with a Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic treatment plan incorporating spinal manipulation and exercise.
EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?
Neck pain treatment options are plentiful. One common approach is manual therapy. (Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn offers gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another approach is exercise. A third is combining the two. A recent study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy by itself improved perceived neck pain more quickly than exercise. Therapeutic exercise lessened disability faster than manual therapy. (1) An additional research project assessed manual therapy plus exercise to exercise by itself over 4 weeks. Manual therapy with exercise improved short- and medium-term neck pain better than exercise alone. (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn has found that patient participation boosts 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
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn goes with the research. Research revealed that a safe, gentle form of manual manipulation, Cox® Technic, dropped cervical spine intradiscal pressures. (3) In the clinical comparison study of Cox® flexion distraction alone to exercise only for neck pain to the combination of the two that using both was valuable. (4) Cox® Technic flexion distraction for neck pain relief eased pain in a mean of 13.2 visits in a report on cervical spine radiculopathy patients. (5) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn finds that Ashburn and Herndon neck pain patients are anxious to help themselves by doing suggested neck exercises as well as making their chiropractic treatment visits.
