Malverne Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation

Neck pain is a familiar condition bringing patients to our Malverne chiropractic clinic! Malverne Health & Wellness finds that chronic neck pain is a widespread issue nowadays. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Malverne Health & Wellness is here to help deliver some neck pain relief with a Malverne 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. (Malverne Health & Wellness offers gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another approach is exercise. A third is mixing the two. A recent study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy by itself improved perceived neck pain sooner than exercise. Therapeutic exercise decreased disability sooner than manual therapy. (1) A further study assessed manual therapy plus exercise to exercise by itself over 4 weeks. Manual therapy plus exercise improved short- and medium-term neck pain more effectively than exercise alone. (2) Malverne Health & Wellness has observed that patient participation improves clinical outcomes, too. Merging the most valuable therapies for neck pain relief is the better option.

COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF

Malverne Health & Wellness follows the research. Research revealed that a safe, gentle form of manual manipulation, Cox® Technic, decreased cervical spine intradiscal pressures. (3) In the clinical comparison study of Cox® flexion distraction only to exercise only for neck pain to the combination of both that using both was favorable. (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) Malverne Health & Wellness finds that Malverne neck pain patients are anxious to help themselves by doing recommended neck exercises as well as making their chiropractic treatment visits.
