February 2020 Healthy News from Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic: Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain

Neck pain bothers 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. A survey of 800 Australian chiropractors found that 1/3 of the patients are older than 65 years of age. 45.5% suffered with neck pain. 31.3% also suffered headache. (1) A recent committee review of the latest significant 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 related 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 handle neck pain. The chiropractors used manipulation of the thoracic spine, neck massage, and adjustment that resulted in help for dizziness, neck pain, headache and migraine (though migraine takes more treatments). (1) Montreal 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, decreased in spinal surgery expenditures and use/abuse of opioid prescription drugs. (3) Chiropractic services at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic successfully relieves Montreal neck pain for many.

Non-specific neck pain patients do well 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 in addition to sensorimotor training. Pain, intensity, muscle endurance and disability improved in both. The combined group significantly improved 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 period reduced neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers day in and day out. It didn’t decrease pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Montreal neck pain is a great goal!
