Chiropractic care at Most Chiropractic Clinic is calm, effective, and proven to ease pain in a relatively short timeframe. Non-specific neck pain patients reported that they felt that their neck disability was improved after one cervical spine manipulation treatment. (1) Even for cases that more difficult (like the following), The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management delivers pain-relieving outcomes. One patient with cervical spine foraminal narrowing and radiating arm pain due to a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported less pain and better function in 10 visits in a month. The patient was pain free and fully functional 8 months later. (2) Another patient with a post-surgical C6-7 fusion who had neck pain and back pain stated that he had decreased pain (which dropped from 8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits over 3 months with Cox® treatment. (3) A review of published studies on the effectiveness of manual therapy for chronic neck pain, described as a safe and less painful method to ease chronic neck pain, concluded that manipulative therapy decreases the degree of chronic neck pain and neck disability. (4) And most patients don’t have to undergo care ‘forever’. A recent study documented that chiropractors do not recommend continued care apart from certain neck pain patients: only 39% of patients were recommended for care beyond 4 weeks with long duration of neck pain being the most commong indicator for continued care.
