Pensacola Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation

Neck pain is an ordinary condition drawing patients into our Pensacola chiropractic clinic! Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center sees that chronic neck pain is a frequent issue nowadays. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is ready to help find some neck pain relief with a Pensacola chiropractic treatment plan involving spinal manipulation and exercise.

EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?

Neck pain treatment options abound. One common method is manual therapy. (Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another approach is exercise. A third is combining both. A new study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy alone improved perceived neck pain sooner than exercise. Therapeutic exercise reduced disability sooner than manual therapy. (1) Another research project assessed manual therapy plus exercise to exercise by itself over a month. Manual therapy with exercise improved short- and medium-term neck pain more effectively than exercise alone. (2) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center has observed that patient participation enhances clinical outcomes, too. Merging the most effective therapies for neck pain relief is the better option.

COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF

Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center follows the research. Research demonstrated 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 alone for neck pain to the combination of both that combining the two was valuable. (4) Cox® Technic flexion distraction for neck pain relief relieved pain in a mean of 13.2 visits in a study of cervical spine radiculopathy patients. (5) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center realizes that Pensacola neck pain patients are anxious to help themselves by doing recommended neck exercises in addition to making their chiropractic treatment visits.
