In a recent study, patients with acute or subacute neck pain were given one of three treatments: medication, exercise with the advice of a health practitioner, or chiropractic care. After 12 weeks of care, patients in the chiropractic and exercise groups experienced the most pain reduction and improved ROM. When you compare this group to the medication group, both exercise and chiropractic had more than doubled the likelihood that patients experienced complete relief of their pain. These benefits lasted for at least a year in the Chiropractic patients. These results indicate that chiropractic care can often times provide a longer-term relief of neck pain and discomfort.
Chiropractic and exercise success is likely due to the fact that both treatments address the cause of neck pain, rather than just masking the symptoms. Whether your neck pain is a result of an injury or sitting at a desk for long hours, chiropractic treatment can restore one's spine to a more normal health and free of pain.
