West Des Moines Chiropractic Care of Neck Pain: Exercise and Spinal Manipulation
Neck pain is a common condition bringing patients into our West Des Moines chiropractic clinic! Executive Chiropractic of Iowa sees that chronic neck pain is a widespread problem nowadays. Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is here to help find some relief from the neck pain with a West Des Moines chiropractic treatment plan incorporating spinal manipulation and exercise.
EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?
Neck pain treatment options flourish. One popular approach is manual therapy. (Executive Chiropractic of Iowa offers gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another tactic is exercise. A third is mixing both. A recent study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy alone improved perceived neck pain more quickly than exercise. Therapeutic exercise decreased disability sooner than manual therapy. (1) An additional study assessed manual therapy plus exercise to exercise alone over a month. Manual therapy plus exercise improved short- and medium-term neck pain more effectively than exercise alone. (2) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa has found that patient participation boosts clinical outcomes, too. Merging the most effective therapies for neck pain relief is the way to go.
COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa follows the research. Research revealed that a safe, gentle form of manual manipulation, Cox® Technic, dropped intradiscal pressures in the cervical spine. (3) In the clinical comparison study of Cox® flexion distraction only to exercise alone for neck pain to the combination of the two that using both was valuable. (4) Cox® Technic flexion distraction for neck pain relief eased pain in a mean of 13.2 visits in a report on cervical spine radiculopathy patients. (5) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa finds that West Des Moines neck pain patients are ready to help themselves by doing recommended neck exercises in addition to making their chiropractic treatment visits.
