La Grande Neck Pain Responds to Chiropractic Care
Does any neck pain sufferer look forward to getting an xray or MRI or injection or surgery? Nope! New studies are showing that receiving spinal manipulation – 90% of which is delivered by chiropractors - may help such La Grande neck pain patients avert treatment escalation to imaging/injections/surgery. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is ready to help with that!
EFFECTS OF SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN
Neck pain alongside La Grande back pain are foremost causes of disability around the world and here in La Grande. Chiropractic is being related as a safe, effective option for management of back and neck pain for many sufferers. Chiropractic is described as care centered 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 possibly via peripheral mechanisms that control inflammatory pain responses. More research is called upon to determine just what the specific and non-specific effects of spinal manipulation are. (1) We utilize spinal manipulation every day at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC.
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 greater in those who got care other than spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation decreased the risk. Over 90% of spinal manipulation is delivered by chiropractors in the US. (2) Your La Grande 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, helps relieve pain, a case report of a patient with neurofibromatosis who had 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) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC works one-on-one with each neck pain sufferer to provide him/her the tools and understanding to get such relief.
PATIENT SELF-CARE AND UNDERSTANDING
Showing chronic nonspecific La Grande neck pain patients things they can do to help themselves and to understand their neck pain enriches 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 Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC: reduced pain.
