EXERCISE OR MANUAL THERAPY…OR BOTH?
Neck pain treatment options flourish. One popular method is manual therapy. (Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC offers gentle Cox® Technic spinal manipulation.) Another tactic is exercise.

Manual therapy with exercise improved short- and medium-term neck pain better than exercise alone. (2) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC has observed that patient participation improves clinical outcomes, too. Merging the most effective therapies for neck pain relief is the way to go.
