Groton Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation

Neck pain is a familiar condition bringing patients to our Groton chiropractic clinic! Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office finds that chronic neck pain is a widespread issue nowadays. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is prepared to help deliver some neck pain relief with a Groton chiropractic treatment plan involving spinal manipulation and exercise.

EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?

Neck pain treatment options flourish. One common approach is manual therapy. (Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another tactic is exercise. A third is mixing both. 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 sooner than manual therapy. (1) An additional research project compared manual therapy plus exercise to exercise by itself over 4 weeks. Manual therapy plus exercise increased short- and medium-term neck pain better than exercise alone. (2) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office has found that patient participation improves clinical outcomes, too. Using the most effective therapies for neck pain relief is the way to go.

COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF

Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office goes with the research. Research demonstrated that a safe, gentle type of manual manipulation, Cox® Technic, dropped intradiscal pressures in the cervical spine. (3) In the clinical comparison study of Cox® flexion distraction only to exercise only for neck pain to the combination of the two 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) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office finds that Groton neck pain patients are ready to help themselves by doing recommended neck exercises in addition to making their chiropractic treatment visits.
