February 2020 Healthy News from Chiropractic Care: Chiropractic Care for Neck Pain

Neck pain affects 20% of people over 70 years of age. An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors found that 1/3 of their patients are over 65 years of age. 45.5% had neck pain. 31.3% also had headache. (1) A recent committee review of the most current 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 visited one other healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to manage neck pain. The chiropractors administered manipulation of the thoracic spine, neck massage, and adjustment that gave rise to help for dizziness, neck pain, headache and migraine (though this takes more treatments).

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 time reduced 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 West Palm Beach neck pain is a great goal!
