Neck pain can really affect your everyday life—whether you’re sitting at a desk for hours or dealing with the result
of poor posture or a prior injury. The good news is that directed
strength and stretch exercises, combined with chiropractic
care at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries, can give effective relief and long-term
benefits for Manchester neck pain sufferers.
THE ROLE OF STRENGTHENING AND STRETCHING EXERCISES
Doing regular
strength-building and stretching exercises is essential for decreasing
neck pain and improving overall neck function. Strengthening
exercises zone in on the muscles that prop up your
neck, improving their endurance and decreasing
the strain brought on by daily activities. Alternatively, stretching exercises help free tension by boosting
the flexibility and mobility of the cervical spine.
A 2024 systematic review by Nazwar et al. reported
that a dedicated exercise routine centering on
these techniques can lead to significant pain relief by
correcting craniovertebral alignment and improving muscle
coordination. Simple exercises like chin tucks, side stretches, and shoulder
blade squeezes are particularly effective and simple
to include into your daily routine. (1) We can talk about what exercises would be most beneficial for you at
your next Manchester chiropractic visit.
CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN
Chiropractic care presents another potent
tool in the fight against Manchester neck pain. Spinal
manipulation techniques, particularly Cox®
Flexion-Distraction (CFD), have been shown to enhance mobility, ease
pressure on spinal nerves, and reduce discomfort triggered
by spinal conditions like cervical disc herniation and cervical stenosis. These are conditions
Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries excitedly invites to the clinic!
For example, a case study by Gudavalli and
Kruse is about a a 33-year-old patient with severe neck
radiculopathy due to cervical disc herniation. After being
treated with flexion-distraction manipulation, the patient had
great relief as the technique gently decompressed the cervical
spine, decreased inflammation, and brought back
normal motion. (2) Do you have such neck pain? Ready for relief?
THE POWER OF COMBINING BOTH APPROACHES
While each approach is highly effective on its
own, combining strengthening/stretching exercises with Manchester
chiropractic care offers energetic and enhanced
relief for neck pain sufferers. Chiropractic spinal manipulation attends to
structural issues and nerve compression while exercises help to maintain
and bolster these improvements by building
strength and flexibility. The synergy between the two
results in more long-term pain relief, better posture, and improved
quality of life.
