December 2023 Healthy News from Rosenberg Wellness Center Relieving Neck Pain Treatment & Exercise
As much as the holiday season brings joy, for some it’s a pain in the neck. Rosenberg Wellness Center is here to help! Chiropractic care at Rosenberg Wellness Center is calm, effective, and proven to be relieving in a relatively short timeframe. Non-specific neck pain patients noted that they felt that their neck disability was improved 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 results. One patient with neck pain due to narrowing of the cervical spine foramen and radiating arm pain as an effect of a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported less pain and improved function in 10 visits in 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 stated that he had reduced pain (which dropped from 8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits in 3 months with Cox® treatment. (3) A review of published studies on the effectiveness of manual therapy for chronic neck pain, depicted to be a safe and less painful method to ease chronic neck pain, concluded that manipulative therapy lowers the degree of chronic neck pain and neck disability. (4) And most patients don’t have to undergo care ‘forever’. A recent study stated that chiropractors do not recommend continued care except for certain types of neck pain patients: only 39% of patients were recommended for 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 New York City neck pain whether it is acute or chronic, going into the shoulder or down the arm or centralized to the neck. This time of year, neck pain patients walk into Rosenberg Wellness Center every day! We are prepared to help each of them find a little more JOY of the season!

(6) To improve neck pain and disability effects, a study tested and discovered that isometric exercises significantly reduced neck disability index scores after 4 weeks for cervical spondylosis patients. (7) These are simple exercises that do not take long to do or to have a beneficial effect on neck pain. So good!
