Chiropractors often use multiple techniques when treating neck pain, but little research has examined which chiropractic treatments are the most effective for easing symptoms. A new study sought to better understand whether the addition of thoracic spine adjustments improved treatment outcomes for patients with neck pain. In the study, all 64 patients received cervical spine [...]
Chiropractic treatments relieved symptoms in 80% of patients with dizziness and neck pain in a new study. The study compared treatment outcomes in neck-pain patients with and without dizziness. Although dizziness is common in patients with whiplash, less is known about these symptoms in patients with neck pain who have not suffered from auto injuries. [...]
With kids spending more time in front of iPads and computer screens, they could be putting themselves at risk for a host of musculoskeletal problems. A new literature review confirms the link between sitting and upper quadrant musculosketal pain in children and adolescents. The more time spent sitting, the more likely kids were to have [...]
Do women suffer more than men when it comes to back and neck pain? A new study of nearly 4,000 patients with back and neck pain found that women reported significantly higher levels of pain than men. For patients receiving chiropractic care, although both men and women experienced improvements in pain, women consistently had higher [...]
Recent research has demonstrated the benefits of yoga for back pain relief, but can the same body-contorting stretches provide relief for neck pain?

Researchers from Berlin compared a nine-week yoga program with self-care exercises for relieving neck pain. Both methods resulted [...]
Many physicians refer neck-pain patients to secondary care when they fail to respond to conservative treatments. That secondary care often involves surgical interventions despite that it’s unclear whether those interventions will produce better outcomes. To determine whether cervical spine surgery is more effective, researchers from the Netherlands analyzed the literature comparing conservative care to surgery. [...]
Previous research has shown that exercise is effective for neck pain but it was unclear whether physiotherapy treatments were more effective than general exercise programs. A new study compared usual physiotherapy with a program of general neck and upper limb (GET) exercises for treating 151 patients with neck pain. The GET program included 12 exercise [...]
It’s well known that long hours hunched over a computer can cause musculoskeletal pain, particularly in office workers. A new study suggests that decreased sitting time can significantly prevent the development of neck and back pain in office employees. With new studies pointing to the health risks of prolonged sitting, researchers in Minneapolis sought to discover [...]
