❑ Chiropractic care is very much helpful in reducing neck pain and related problems in a non- surgical manner. The treatment method has become quite popular in recent years. The reason is it is safe and effective. ❑ What different neck pains a chiropractic doctor can treat? He can treat ➢ Cervical inter vertebral disc injuries that do not need surgery ➢ Cervical sprain injury ➢ Facet joint sprain ➢ Degenerative joint syndrome of the neck
These are just a few examples. But how does a chiropractor diagnose and treat a variety of neck pains effectively?? ❑ The diagnostic method The chiropractor evaluates the spine as a whole. For him, problems in the neck, lower back or thoracic are not separate. They are all part of the spine. Hence, the emphasis is more on lifestyle modification, stress management, health and nutrition supplements; along with the chiropractic treatment.
A thorough examination is done to diagnose the fundamental cause. The areas of restricted movements are identified. The overall spine alignment and posture are studied carefully. This diagnosis helps the chiropractor in understanding the body mechanics better. After the physical examination, the chiropractor checks the previous medical history and imaging test reports, e.g., MRI or X-ray. The diagnostic steps give a fair idea of your problem to the chiropractor. Then, he makes a detailed customized treatment plan.
The diagnostic steps give a fair idea of your problem to the chiropractor. Then, he makes a detailed customized treatment plan. If he feels that the neck pain would be better treated by operation, then he suggests you consult a spine surgeon. However,it rarely happens. ❑ The treatment The chiropractor uses a combination of manual therapy, spinal manipulation, and other methods. Thus, the neck problem is treated in a comprehensive manner.
➢ A gentle, hands-on spinal manipulation is given on the intervertebral disc. It is not forceful. Hence, it causes relief in the pain. ➢ If the chiropractor uses a handheld instrument to apply force, then it is called instrument-assisted manipulation. Thus, there is no need to thrust into the spine. ➢ To restore joint movements, he uses specific spinal manipulation by putting gentle thrust. ➢ Joint stretching and resistance methods are used to relieve neck pain. ➢ Therapeutic massage to relax tense muscles.
➢ Sometimes, trigger point therapy is also used for giving instant relief in stiffness and painful muscles. ➢ Low-frequency electrical current is used for stimulating the neck muscles. ➢ Pain or stiffness in the neck is relieved by using ultrasound waves. Thus, the chiropractic expert puts wholehearted efforts to give relief from neck pain and improve range of motion.
