February 2020 Healthy News from Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre: Chiropractic Help for Neck Pain

Neck pain affects 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors found that 33% of the patients are over 65 years old. 45.5% experienced neck pain. 31.3% also had headache. (1) A new 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 another healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to manage neck pain. The chiropractors administered 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 treatments). (1) Toronto chiropractic relief for neck pain grows in documented support. It’s also being reported as economical as well as drug- and opioid-preventative. A study in Missouri reported that including chiropractic in the Medicaid system saved $14.1 and $49.2 million, reduced in spinal surgery expenses 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 plus 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) Increasing the number of steps walked a day over a 6-month time decreased neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers day in and day out. It did not reduce pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Toronto neck pain is a great goal!
