Suffering from Neck Pain?
Wondering why treatment hasn’t helped in the past?
There are 4 different types of neck pain
which respond to unique combinations of treatments to achieve optimal outcomes.
1) Neck Pain with Mobility Deficits
2) Neck Pain with Movement Coordination Impairments
3) Neck Pain with Headache (Cervicogenic)
4) Neck Pain with Radiating Pain (Radicular)
If you feel like your neck pain belongs to one of these categories,
our skilled therapists have the knowledge base to properly diagnose your neck pain
as well as provide you with the top 3 exercises backed by the highest levels of efficacy to reduce the specific pain you are experiencing in combination with manual therapy.
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Facts About Neck Pain
1. Manual therapy alone and exercise alone did not get good results for eradicating neck pain
but the combination of the two resulted in 42% having a 100% reduction in cervical pain and 81% having a 50% reduction in cervical pain.
2. Neck pain is very common
Neck pain spares no gender, culture, or geographic region. Risk increases with age and once you have one incident of neck pain you are way more likely to have recurrent episodes.
3. Studies conducted found significant stability issues
Injecting the upper trap muscle with saline to create a state of pain in one shoulder/neck resulted in a marked decrease in the strength of deep cervical neck flexors as well as the strength of the SCM on that side. This indicates that a single episode of neck pain can significantly inhibit the stability around your neck, further altering your movement patterns and perpetuating ongoing neck pain.
4. Chin nod exercises increase abilities
Cranio-cervical flexion exercise induces a superior immediate hypoalgesic effect on head and neck pain. Doing chin nod exercises resulted in an increased ability to perform cervical rotation due to the activation of postural muscle motor control.
5. The first 3 months
If you do cervical exercises in the first 3 months after injury you can prevent fatty infiltration into the muscle tissues.
6. Recurrence of neck pain is common
Not to worry if you have self-management techniques.
Self-management has three elements
A home program paralleling formal clinic treatment
A maintenance program and a relapse program
Prevention program
