NECK PAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR?! THERE’S HELP!

As much as the holiday season brings joy, for some it’s a pain in the neck. We’re|We are here to help! Chiropractic care at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is calm, effective, and proven to alleviate pain in a relatively brief timeframe. Non-specific neck pain patients reported that they felt that their neck disability was improved after one cervical spine manipulation treatment. (1) Even for more difficult cases (like the following), The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management delivers pain-relieving results. One patient with neck pain due to narrowing of the cervical spine foramen and radiating arm pain due to a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported decreased pain and better function in 10 treatments over a month. The patient was without pain and fully functional 8 months later. (2) Another patient with a post-surgical C6-7 fusion who had neck pain and back pain reported decreased pain (which dropped from 8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits in 3 months with Cox® treatment. (3) A review of published papers on the effectiveness of manual therapy for chronic neck pain, depicted to be a safe and less painful method to lessen chronic neck pain, concluded that manipulative therapy reduces the degree of chronic neck pain and neck disability. (4) And most patients don’t have to undergo care ‘forever’. A new study documented that chiropractors do not recommend continued care apart from certain neck pain patients: only 39% of patients were proposed to continue care beyond 4 weeks with long duration of neck pain being the most commong guide for continued care. (5) Our Cox® Technic treatment plan for cervical spine pain is gentle and effective for Montreal neck pain whether it is acute or chronic, radiating into the shoulder or down the arm or centralized to the neck. This time of year, neck pain patients walk into Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic every day! We are ready to help each of them re-discover the JOY of the season!

 

Montreal CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!

Cervical spine pain patients who want Montreal pain relief - relief that lasts - often get it when they add exercise. A simple elastic band exercise program proved effective for non-specific neck pain reduction and better strength of cervical spine flexor, extensor and scapular muscles. (6) To improve neck pain and disability effects, a study found that isometric exercises significantly lessened neck disability index scores after 4 weeks for cervical spondylosis patients. (7) These are easy exercises that don’t take long to do or to have a beneficial effect on neck pain. So good!
