BENEFITS OF ADDING STRETCHING TO NECK PAIN TREATMENT PROCEDURES
Old Mill Chiropractic incorporates spinal manipulation and mobilization, nutrition, exercise, and research-recommended stretching in the overall treatment plan for neck pain be it non-specific mechanical neck pain or cervical spine radiculopathy. Old Mill Chiropractic uses The Cox® Technic System for Spinal Pain Management to address neck pain. [[A|In one]17] study, Cox® Technic protocols produced complete resolution of the patient’s subjective pain due to a large C5-C6 disc herniation. (1) In a retrospective study of 39 patients with cervical radiculopathy, Cox® flexion distraction delivered pain reduction in 13.2 treatments (ranging from 6 to 37). (2) A recent paper states that for non-specific mechanical neck pain, the addition of stretching to the plan was more effective at returning cervical spine motions of extension, right rotation and lateral flexion ranges of motion without affecting pain and disability. (3) That is where spinal manipulation and mobilization come into play. They help address the pain and disability component. Including stretching and active cervical range of motion exercise is positive and has its place in the treatment of neck pain. A well-rounded treatment plan for neck pain relief is key! Another study further described that neck stretching is a most successful physical therapy intervention. Static and diagonal active stretching were helpful at decreasing neck disability and increasing cervical spine range of motion. Additionally, cervical range of motion values significantly increased at 4 and 6 to 8 weeks [[post-after the ]59] study demonstrating beneficial long-term effects of stretching for neck pain, disability, and function. (4) Keeping abreast of the neck pain relief studies, Old Mill Chiropractic makes sure to share benefits of a variety of ways to reduce neck pain.
