Whether the neck pain is non-specific or chronic, Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is prepared to help coordinate some relief from the neck pain with a Baton Rouge chiropractic treatment plan incorporating spinal manipulation and exercise.
EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?
Neck pain treatment options are plentiful. One common method is manual therapy. (Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers uses gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another approach is exercise. A third is combining the two. A recent study compared manual therapy, exercise or placebo. Manual therapy alone improved perceived neck pain sooner than exercise. Therapeutic exercise lessened disability earlier than manual therapy. (1) A further research project compared manual therapy plus exercise to exercise alone over a month. Manual therapy plus exercise improved short- and medium-term neck pain better than exercise by itself. (2) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers has found that patient participation improves clinical outcomes, too. Combining the most valuable therapies for neck pain relief is the better option.
COX® TECHNIC AND EXERCISE FOR NECK PAIN RELIEF
Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers goes with the research. Research made evident a safe, gentle type 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 combining the two was favorable. (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) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers finds that Baton Rouge neck pain patients are ready to help themselves by doing suggested neck exercises as well as making their chiropractic treatment visits.
