September 2024 Healthy News from Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka Chiropractic Care with Exercise for Neck Pain Relief

Chronic neck pain can be debilitating, especially for nurses who spend long hours on their feet, often in physically demanding positions. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is ready to help. New studies have shed light on the effectiveness of chiropractic care in easing this discomfort, offering some hope for those suffering from chronic nonspecific neck pain. This study showed that combining two approaches - the gentle motions of Tai Chi coupled with the spinal adjustments performed by chiropractors - could significantly reduce pain levels and improve overall well-being. (1) Another study showed that Cox® Technic flexion distraction effectively alleviated symptoms associated with cervical radiculopathy. By gently decompressing the spine, this method lessens pressure on the nerves, thereby decreasing pain and improving mobility. (2) Both studies emphasize the effectiveness of chiropractic care in managing Sitka chronic neck pain. For nurses and other chronic neck pain sufferers, these findings offer a compelling case for considering chiropractic treatments. Contact us soon!

TIP OF THE MONTH: Stabilization Exercise for Neck and Arm Pain Relief

Neck pain patients do have hope…and some control of their neck pain’s course! A new study by Agarwal et al. (3) in Cureus notes the effectiveness of neural tissue mobilization and cervical stabilization exercises in managing unilateral cervical radiculopathy. Results indicate that instituting stabilization exercises significantly boosts pain relief and boosts cervical spine range of motion. The findings suggest that chiropractic patients with neck pain can benefit from incorporating these exercises into their treatment plan - alongside our Cox® Technic spinal manipulation and mobilization – furthering an active approach to managing their condition and enriching overall recovery.
