Murfreesboro Neck Pain Helped by Stretching

August 10, 2021

Everything has its place. Everything fills a need. In treating neck pain, stretching and spinal mobilization have their roles in managing the relief of the pain, disability and range of motion loss. They’re needed. Most Chiropractic Clinic treats many Murfreesboro neck pain sufferers to restore their lost range of motion due to pain. Stretching is newly documented as particularly beneficial and can be a helpful adjunct to the chiropractic treatment plan. 

BENEFITS OF ADDING STRETCHING TO NECK PAIN TREATMENT PROCEDURES

Most Chiropractic Clinic incorporates spinal manipulation and mobilization, nutrition, exercise, and research-recommended stretching in the general treatment plan for neck pain be it non-specific mechanical neck pain or cervical spine radiculopathy. Most Chiropractic Clinic follows The Cox® Technic System for Spinal Pain Management to address neck pain. [[A|In one]17] study, Cox® Technic protocols delivered complete resolution of the patient’s subjective pain due to a big C5-C6 disc herniation. (1) In a retrospective study of 39 cervical spine radiculopathy patients, Cox® flexion distraction reduced pain in 13.2 treatments (range 6 to 37). (2) A recent paper states that for non-specific mechanical neck pain, the addition of stretching to the plan was more helpful at improving cervical spine motions of extension, right rotation and lateral flexion ranges of motion without affecting pain and disability. (3) That’s where spinal manipulation and mobilization come into play. They help ease the pain and disability component. Adding stretching and active cervical range of motion exercise is positive and has its place in addressing neck pain. A well-rounded treatment plan for neck pain relief is key! Another study further stated that neck stretching is one of the most successful physical therapy interventions.  Static and diagonal active stretching were effective at reducing neck disability and improving cervical spine range of motion. Additionally, cervical range of motion values significantly rose at 4 and 6 to 8 weeks [[post-after the ]59] study indicating positive long-term effects of stretching for neck pain, disability, and function. (4) Keeping abreast of the neck pain relief studies, Most Chiropractic Clinic makes sure to present benefits of various ways to reduce neck pain.
