Easley Neck Pain Responds to Chiropractic Care
Does any neck pain sufferer want to get an xray or MRI or injection or surgery? Not likely. Recent studies are explaining how receiving spinal manipulation – 90% of which is done by chiropractors - may help such Easley neck pain patients avert treatment escalation to imaging/injections/surgery. Young Chiropractic is ready to help with that!
EFFECTS OF SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN
Neck pain alongside Easley back pain are leading causes of disability globally and here in Easley. Chiropractic is being reported as a safe, effective option for management of back and neck pain for many such patients. Chiropractic is described as care centered on spine care and treatment of spine pain conditions via spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation is described as hindering back and neck pain partly by spine related mechanisms and potentially via peripheral mechanisms that control inflammatory pain responses. More research is suggested to figure out just what the specific and non-specific effects of spinal manipulation are. (1) We use spinal manipulation daily at Young Chiropractic.
SPINAL MANIPULATION CONTAINS NECK PAIN TREATMENT ESCALATION
Spinal manipulation for neck pain is demonstrated 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 reduced the risk. Over 90% of spinal manipulation is done by chiropractors in the US. (2) Your Easley 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 patient case about a patient with neurofibromatosis who had headaches, temporomandibular discomfort as well as neck, scapular and lumbar pain, manually treated cervical spine flexion distraction spinal manipulation along with myofascial release, patient education about adapting her workplace ergonomics, and at-home care decreased her neck and thoracic spine pain as well as headache frequency. (3) Young Chiropractic works one-on-one with each neck pain sufferer to give him/her the tools and understanding to realize such relief.
PATIENT SELF-CARE AND UNDERSTANDING
Giving chronic nonspecific Easley neck pain patients things they can do to help themselves and to understand their neck pain enriches their outcomes. A study comparing therapeutic exercise alone to therapeutic exercise plus pain neuroscience education to help them understand their condition found that the combination helped more. The combination reduced the patients’ pain-disability indices, pain catastrophizing thoughts, and fear-avoidance beliefs. (4) That’s the goal of care for us at Young Chiropractic: reduced pain.
