The Science-Backed Solution for Richmond Chronic Neck Pain
If your are one of the millions dealing with Richmond neck pain, you fully understand how it can hijack your entire day. Simple things like turning to check your blind spot while in your car trying to get somewhere or settlilng into your desk become exercises in discomfort. What’s the good from this? There is a gentle, research-[[documentedlbacked]16] solution that might be just what you want.
WHAT MAKES COX® TECHNIC DIFFERENT?
Cox® Flexion-Distraction is a unique chiropractic treatment method that uses a uniquely designed table to gently stretch and decompress your spine. Unlike the "crack and pop" adjustments you might visualize, this way of treating is very gentle—think therapeutic stretching rather than forceful manipulation.
The research speaks for itself. In a published case study, a 64-year-old man dealing with a cervical disc herniation with left foraminal narrowing underwent Cox® cervical spine flexion-distraction treatment. After just 12 visits over a month, he reported 90% less pain intensity and significant improvements in neck mobility and daily function. Even more impressive? These improvements were maintained at his three-month follow-up. (1) Johnson Chiropractic will work to help you get this kind of improvement.
THE SAFETY QUESTION
Maybe you're wondering about safety—particularly if you're over 60. A complete 2025 observational study analyzed over 4,700 older adults with neck pain, equating those who underwent chiropractic care versus traditional medical management. The researchers tracked serious adverse events needing hospitalization and revealed no significant difference in safety between the two methods. In fact, both groups had comparably low rates of complications, corroborating that chiropractic care is a safe option for handling neck pain, even in older populations. (2)
DOES MANIPULATION ACTUALLY WORK?
A recent randomized controlled trial put spinal manipulation to the test with 144 patients experiencing neck pain. Participants who got cervical and thoracic manipulations demonstrated statistically significant improvements in pain levels and disability scores compared to baseline measurements. While the study found that different manipulation methods were similarly helpful, the key takeaway is clear: spinal manipulation delivers real, measurable relief for neck pain sufferers.
