February 2020 Healthy News from Soft Health and Healing Clinic: Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain

Neck pain affects 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. A survey of 800 Australian chiropractors found that 1/3 of the patients are older than 65 years of age. 45.5% had neck pain. 31.3% also suffered headache. (1) A recent committee analysis of the latest relevant 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 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 manage neck pain. The chiropractors used 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 visits). (1) Brooks 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 documented that using chiropractic in the Medicaid system saved $14.1 and $49.2 million, decreased in spinal surgery expenses and use/abuse of opioid prescription drugs.

Such patients were supervised in 12 exercise sessions 3 times a week with either traditional exercises vs traditional exercises in addition to 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) Adding to the daily walking step count over a 6-month period reduced neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers day in and day out. It did not decrease pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the start of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Brooks neck pain is a great goal!
