Chiropractic care could help
Chiropractic care is increasingly recognised as a safe and effective approach to managing both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) neck pain.
What the research says:
- Numerous studies show that chiropractic care can lead to:
- Reduced pain
- Improved range of motion
- Decreased disability
- Most clinical trials evaluated outcomes over a 4-week period of care.
Neck pain in office workers
A review of 17 research papers, involving 1190 participants, found that computer workers experienced significant benefits from chiropractic care. These benefits included:
- Less frequent and less intense pain
- Reduced disability associated with poor posture and desk work.
One fascinating study explored the link between neck pain and cognitive performance. It looked at people with sub clinical neck pain (mild to moderate neck pain that isn’t always noticeable).
Participants with neck pain:
- Performed worse in tasks requiring spatial awareness
- Struggled more with visual recognition (e.g. Identifying reversed letters like ‘R’)
The findings suggest that neck pain and spinal dysfunction may impair certain cognitive functions, such as attention and mental processing speed.
If you’re living with persistent neck discomfort, it might be affecting more than just your body. Chiropractic care could help restore not only your physical comfort but also your mental clarity and quality of life. Click here to book your consultation
