February 2020 Healthy News from Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office: Chiropractic Help for Neck Pain

Neck pain bothers 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors found that 33% of their patients are over 65 years of age. 45.5% had neck pain. 31.3% also experienced headache. (1) A recent 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 stated that chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are the “best practice recommendations.” (2) 82% of the older adults visited 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 migraine takes more treatments). (1) Groton chiropractic relief for neck pain increases in documented support. It is also being found as economical as well as drug- and opioid-preventative. A review in Missouri reported that including chiropractic in the Medicaid system saved $14.1 and $49.2 million, decreased in spinal surgery costs and use/abuse of opioid prescription drugs.

Non-specific neck pain patients find success with exercise as part 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) Increasing the number of steps walked a day over a 6-month period decreased neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers all day. It did not reduce pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the start of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Groton neck pain is a great goal!
