As much as the holiday season brings joy, for some it can be a pain in the neck. We’re|We are here to help! Chiropractic care at our Montreal chiropractic clinic is calm, effective, and proven to be relieving in a reasonably brief period of time. Non-specific neck pain patients reported that they felt improvement in their neck disability after one cervical spine manipulation session. (1) Even for cases that more difficult (like the following), The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management delivers pain-relieving outcomes. One patient with cervical spine foraminal narrowing and radiating arm pain due to a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported reduced pain and improved function in 10 treatments over a month. The patient was pain free and fully functional 8 months later. (2) Another patient with a post-surgical C6-7 fusion experiencing neck pain and back pain reported less pain (which fell from 8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits over 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, proposed 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 don’t 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.
