February 2020 Healthy News from Johnson Chiropractic: Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain
Neck pain bothers 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors discovered that 1/3 of their patients are older than 65 years of age. 45.5% had neck pain. 31.3% also had headache. (1) A recent committee review of the most current significant 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 related that chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are the “best practice recommendations.” (2) 82% of the older adults visited another healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to handle neck pain. The chiropractors utilized manipulation of the thoracic spine, neck massage, and adjustment that gave rise to help for dizziness, neck pain, headache and migraine (though migraine takes more visits).

Such patients were supervised in 12 exercise sessions 3 times a week with either traditional exercises vs traditional exercises in addition to sensorimotor training. Pain, intensity, muscle endurance and disability improved in both. The combined group significantly advanced 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 time decreased neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers all day. It did not reduce pain intensity or disability, but it did decrease the start of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of Richmond neck pain is a great goal!
