February 2020 Healthy News from Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office: Chiropractic Help for Neck Pain
Neck pain bothers 20% of people over 70 years of age. A survey of 800 Australian chiropractors found that 33% of their patients are over 65 years old. 45.5% had neck pain. 31.3% also had headache. (1) A recent committee review of the latest significant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to handle neck pain in adults involving neck pain with headache or radicular symptoms via chiropractic related that chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are the “best practice recommendations.” (2) 82% of the older adults used another healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to handle neck pain. The chiropractors utilized manipulation of the thoracic spine, neck massage, and adjustment that resulted in help for dizziness, neck pain, headache and migraine (though this takes more treatments). (1) Groton chiropractic relief for neck pain grows in documented support. It’s also being reported to be 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, reduced in spinal surgery expenses 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 improved 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 time decreased 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 reduce the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Groton neck pain is a great goal!
