Neck pain can significantly affect your everyday life—whether you sit at a desk all
day or deal with the result
of poor posture or a previous injury. The good news is that directed
strength and stretch exercises, combined with chiropractic
care at Wilson Family Chiropractic, can give effective relief and long-term
benefits for Millville neck pain sufferers.
THE ROLE OF STRENGTHENING AND STRETCHING EXERCISES
Participating in regular
strength-building and stretching exercises is vital for reducing
neck pain and enhancing overall neck function. Strengthening
exercises target the muscles that support your
neck, enhancing their endurance and reducing
the strain brought on by daily activities. On the
other hand, stretching exercises help free tension by increasing
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 easy
to include into your daily routine. (1) We can talk about what

CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION FOR NECK PAIN
Chiropractic care offers another powerful
tool in the battle against Millville neck pain. Spinal
manipulation techniques, specifically 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
Wilson Family Chiropractic welcomes!
For example, a case study by Gudavalli and
Kruse is about a a 33-year-old patient with severe neck
radiculopathy as a result of a 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 restored
normal motion. (2) Do you know

THE POWER OF COMBINING BOTH APPROACHES
While each method is highly effective on its
own, mixing strengthening/stretching exercises with Millville
chiropractic care offers dynamic and better
relief for neck pain sufferers. Chiropractic spinal manipulation attends to
structural issues and nerve compression while exercises help to sustain
and improve these improvements by building
strength and flexibility. The interaction of the two
results in more long-term pain relief, better posture, and better
quality of life.
