February 2020 Healthy News from Moses Chiropractic: Chiropractic Help for Neck Pain

Neck pain affects 20% of people over 70 years of age. An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors discovered that 33% of the patients are older than 65 years old. 45.5% experienced neck pain. 31.3% also experienced headache. (1) A new committee review of the most current relevant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to manage 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 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 resulted in help for dizziness, neck pain, headache and migraine (though migraine takes more visits). (1) West Palm Beach chiropractic relief for neck pain increases in documented support. It’s also being reported 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, reduced in spinal surgery expenditures 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 in addition to 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) Adding to the daily walking step count over a 6-month time decreased neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers all day. It did not decrease pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of West Palm Beach neck pain is a great goal!
