Neck pain with or without arm pain is one of the most common reasons to
visit a chiropractor. However, many avoid seeking care for some time or
wait until their pain becomes unbearable, hoping somehow that the pain
will simply disappear. While in some cases the pain and discomfort does
in fact go away, in a great number of those cases, it eventually
resurfaces. Fortunately, most cases of neck pain can be successfully
managed in a safe, non-invasive way. Some of the methods of care
utilized by chiropractors include manual therapy and exercise. A recent
study comparing manual physical therapy and exercise to passive care
consisting of basic advice, mobility exercise and ultrasound found
manual therapy and exercise superior. It's important to note that most
chiropractic care is hands on and does not simply consist of
passive-type therapies such as ultrasound, although in certain cases
this can be useful. In fact, one of the reasons many prefer
chiropractic care is the hands on, attentive nature of chiropractic
care. If you haven't tried chiropractic care for your neck pain, as
well as other aches and pains, or, for your overall health/wellness
needs, we urge you to call your local chiropractor today. Chiropractic
care is natural, non-invasive and extremely safe. Source: Spine. 33(22):2371-2378, October 15, 2008. |
