Does any neck pain sufferer look forward to
getting an xray or MRI or injection or surgery? Not likely. New
studies are showing that receiving spinal manipulation –
90% of which is delivered by chiropractors - may help such Buffalo, NY
neck pain patients avert treatment escalation to
imaging/injections/surgery. The Novelli Wellness Center
is here to help with that!
EFFECTS OF SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN
Neck pain alongside Buffalo, NY back pain are foremost
causes of disability globally and here in Buffalo, NY.
Chiropractic is being related as a safe, effective
option for management of back and neck pain for quite a few sufferers. Chiropractic is explained as care focused
on spine care and treatment of spine pain conditions with spinal manipulation.
Spinal manipulation is explained as inhibiting
back and neck pain in part by spine related mechanisms and potentially
via peripheral mechanisms that regulate inflammatory pain responses.
More research is called upon to determine
just what the specific and non-specific effects of spinal manipulation are. (1)
We use spinal manipulation every day at The Novelli Wellness Center.
SPINAL MANIPULATION CONTAINS NECK PAIN TREATMENT ESCALATION
Spinal manipulation for neck pain is shown
to reduce the risk of treatment escalation. 42% of neck pain
patients wanting relief find that their treatment is heightened
to include care like imaging, injection, emergency room visit, or surgery. Such
risk was 2.38 times higher in those who received care
other than spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation reduced the
risk. Over 90% of spinal manipulation is done by chiropractors
in the US. (2) Your Buffalo, NY chiropractor uses
specialized, research-based, safe, and gentle spinal manipulation for neck pain
relief.
SPECIFIC FORM OF DOCUMENTED SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK
PAIN RELIEF
As an example of how a specific form of spinal manipulation,
Cox® Technic flexion distraction, facilitates in relieving
pain, a patient case about a patient with neurofibromatosis
who experienced headaches, temporomandibular discomfort as well as
neck, scapular and lumbar pain, manually applied cervical spine flexion
distraction spinal manipulation along with myofascial release,
patient education about adapting her workplace
ergonomics, and at-home care reduced her neck and thoracic
spine pain and headache frequency. (3) The Novelli Wellness Center works
one-on-one with each neck pain sufferer to give him/her the tools
and knowledge to realize such relief.
PATIENT SELF-CARE AND UNDERSTANDING
Showing chronic nonspecific Buffalo, NY
neck pain patients things they can do to help themselves and to understand
their neck pain enhances their outcomes. A study comparing
therapeutic exercise alone to therapeutic exercise plus pain neuroscience education
to assist their understanding of their condition
found that the combination was more impactful.
The combination dropped the patients’ pain-disability indices,
pain catastrophizing thoughts, and fear-avoidance beliefs. (4) That’s
the goal of care for us at The Novelli Wellness Center: less pain.
