Nashua Neck Pain Responds to Chiropractic Care

Does any neck pain sufferer want to get an xray or MRI or injection or surgery? Not likely. Recent studies are showing that receiving spinal manipulation – 90% of which is delivered by chiropractors - may help such Nashua neck pain patients avoid treatment escalation to imaging/injections/surgery.  Moriarty Chiropractic is here to help with that!

EFFECTS OF SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN

Neck pain alongside Nashua back pain are foremost causes of disability globally and here in Nashua. Chiropractic is being related as a safe, helpful option for management of back and neck pain for many sufferers. Chiropractic is explained as care centered on spine care and treatment of spine pain conditions with spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation is described as inhibiting back and neck pain in part by spine related mechanisms and potentially via peripheral mechanisms that control inflammatory pain responses. More research is suggested to figure out just what the specific and non-specific effects of spinal manipulation are. (1) We use spinal manipulation every day at Moriarty Chiropractic.

SPINAL MANIPULATION CONTAINS NECK PAIN TREATMENT ESCALATION

Spinal manipulation for neck pain is demonstrated to reduce the risk of treatment escalation. 42% of neck pain patients seeking 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 received care other than spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation decreased the risk. Over 90% of spinal manipulation is delivered by chiropractors in the United States. (2) Your Nashua chiropractor delivers 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 patient case about a patient with neurofibromatosis who had headaches, temporomandibular discomfort as well as neck, scapular and lumbar pain, manually treated cervical spine flexion distraction spinal manipulation along with myofascial release, patient education about adapting her workplace ergonomics, and at-home care decreased her neck and thoracic spine pain and headache frequency. (3) Moriarty Chiropractic works one-on-one with each neck pain sufferer to provide him/her the tools and knowledge to realize such relief.

PATIENT SELF-CARE AND UNDERSTANDING

Showing chronic nonspecific Nashua neck pain patients things they can do to help themselves and to understand their neck pain enhances 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 helpful. The combination dropped the patients’ pain-disability indices, pain catastrophizing thoughts, and fear-avoidance beliefs. (4) That is the goal of care for us at Moriarty Chiropractic: reduced pain.
