February 2020 Healthy News from Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC: Chiropractic Help for Neck Pain
Neck pain bothers 1 in 5 people over 70 years of age. An assessment of 800 Australian chiropractors found that 33% of their patients are over 65 years of age. 45.5% suffered with neck pain. 31.3% also experienced headache. (1) A new committee review of the latest 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 related that chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are the “best practice recommendations.” (2) 82% of the older adults used one other healthcare provider in addition to chiropractic to manage neck pain. The chiropractors used 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 visits). (1) La Grande chiropractic relief for neck pain increases in documented support. It’s also being found as economical as well as drug- and opioid-preventative. A study in Missouri documented that including chiropractic in the Medicaid system saved $14.1 and $49.2 million, decreased in spinal surgery costs and use/abuse of opioid prescription drugs.

Non-specific neck pain patients find success 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 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 period reduced neck pain occurrence in high risk office workers who sit and work at computers all day. It didn’t decrease pain intensity or disability, but it did reduce the onset of neck pain. (5) Fewer episodes of La Grande neck pain is a great goal!
