NECK PAIN THIS TIME OF YEAR?! Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC IS HERE TO HELP!

Joy! Joy! Joy! That’s this time of year…for most of us. For some it’s a pain in the neck. We’re|We are here to help! Chiropractic care at Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is calm, effective, and proven to alleviate pain in a fairly short timeframe. Non-specific neck pain patients noted that they felt that their neck disability was improved after one cervical spine manipulation session. (1) Even for cases that more difficult (like the following), The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management delivers pain-relieving results. One patient with cervical spine foraminal narrowing and radiating arm pain due to a C6-C7 cervical disc herniation reported reduced pain and improved function in 10 treatments over a month. The patient was pain free and fully functional 8 months later. (2) Another patient with a post-surgical C6-7 fusion experiencing neck pain and back pain stated that he had reduced pain (which dropped from 8/10 to 3/10) in 12 visits over 3 months with Cox® treatment. (3) A review of published papers on the effectiveness of manual therapy for chronic neck pain, depicted to be a safe and less painful method to alleviate chronic neck pain, proposed that manipulative therapy lessens the degree of chronic neck pain and neck disability. (4) And most patients do not have to undergo care ‘forever’. A new study documented that chiropractors don’t recommend continued care except for certain types of neck pain patients: only 39% of patients were recommended for care beyond 4 weeks with long duration of neck pain being the strongest indicator for continued care. (5) Our Cox® Technic treatment plan for cervical spine pain is gentle and effective for La Grande neck pain whether it is acute or chronic, radiating into the shoulder or down the arm or centralized to the neck. This time of year, neck pain patients walk in our door daily! We are ready to help each of them find a little more JOY of the season!

 

La Grande CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise those Neck Muscles!

Cervical spine pain patients who want sustained La Grande pain relief often get it once they add exercise. A simple elastic band exercise program proved effective for non-specific neck pain reduction and better strength of cervical spine flexor and extensor muscles as well as scapular. (6) To improve neck pain and disability effects, a study found that isometric exercises significantly lowered neck disability index scores after 4 weeks for cervical spondylosis patients. (7) These are easy exercises that don’t take long to do or to have a positive effect on neck pain. So good!
