February 2020 Healthy News from Malverne Health & Wellness: Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain

Neck pain affects 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors discovered that 33% of the patients are older than 65 years of age. 45.5% experienced neck pain. 31.3% also experienced headache. (1) A recent committee analysis of the most current relevant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to manage 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 one other 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) Malverne chiropractic relief for neck pain increases in documented support. It’s also being found to be economical as well as drug- and opioid-preventative. A review in Missouri documented that including chiropractic in the Medicaid system saved $14.1 and $49.2 million, reduced in spinal surgery expenses and use/abuse of opioid prescription drugs.

Non-specific neck pain patients do well 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 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) Adding to the daily walking step count over a 6-month time reduced 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 start of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Malverne neck pain is a great goal!
