February 2020 Healthy News from Rosenberg Wellness Center: Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain
Neck pain affects 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors discovered that 1/3 of the patients are older than 65 years of age. 45.5% experienced neck pain. 31.3% also experienced headache. (1) A new committee review of the latest relevant clinical practice guidelines based on the best scientific evidence available to handle neck pain in adults including neck pain with headache or radicular symptoms via chiropractic reported that chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are the “best practice recommendations.” (2) 82% of the older adults used one other healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to handle neck pain. The chiropractors administered 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) New York City chiropractic relief for neck pain grows in documented support. It’s also being found to be 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, reduced in spinal surgery expenditures and use/abuse of opioid prescription drugs. (3) Chiropractic services at Rosenberg Wellness Center works for New York City 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 plus 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) Adding to the daily walking step count over a 6-month period decreased neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers day in and day out. It did not decrease pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of New York City neck pain is a great goal!
