BENEFITS OF ADDING STRETCHING TO NECK PAIN TREATMENT PROCEDURES
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa incorporates spinal manipulation and mobilization, nutrition, exercise, and research-suggested stretching in the overall treatment plan for neck pain be it non-specific mechanical neck pain or cervical spine radiculopathy. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa follows The Cox® Technic System for Spinal Pain Management to ease neck pain. [[A|In one]17] study, Cox® Technic protocols delivered complete resolution of the patient’s subjective pain from a large C5-C6 disc herniation. (1) In a retrospective study of 39 patients with cervical radiculopathy, Cox® flexion distraction delivered pain reduction in 13.2 treatments (range 6 to 37). (2) A recent paper states that for non-specific mechanical neck pain, the addition of stretching to the plan was more effective at enhancing cervical spine motions of extension, right rotation and lateral flexion ranges of motion despite not touching pain and disability. (3) That’s where spinal manipulation and mobilization come into play. They help ease the pain and disability component. Adding stretching and active cervical range of motion exercise is beneficial and has its role in the treatment of neck pain. A well-rounded treatment plan for neck pain relief is important! Another research project further stated that neck stretching is one of the most successful physical therapy interventions. Static and diagonal active stretching were successful at decreasing neck disability and increasing cervical spine range of motion. Further, cervical range of motion values significantly rose at 4 and 6 to 8 weeks [[post-after the ]59] study indicating beneficial long-term effects of stretching for neck pain, disability, and function. (4) Keeping up with the neck pain relief studies, Executive Chiropractic of Iowa makes certain to share benefits of various ways to reduce neck pain.
