Study: Spinal manipulation and exercise are more effective than OTC pain relievers, narcotics and muscle relaxants.
By Peter W. Crownfield, Executive Editor
A study published in the Jan. 3, 2012 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine
and widely reported by mainstream media suggests conservative care
consisting of either spinal manipulation or home exercise is more
effective than over-the-counter and prescription medication for
relieving acute and subacute neck pain. Spinal manipulative therapy was
more effective than medication in both the short and long term, as was
home exercise in the form of self-mobilization of the neck and shoulder
joints – a point media outlets were quick to emphasize in a classic
attempt to downplay the value of the chiropractic intervention.

One of the frustrations chiropractors face in practice is treating
spinal and associated extremity pain that does not resolve. Often our
patients will ask our opinion about epidural steroid injections, or we
will refer the patient to a neurologist or orthopedist, who will then
suggest the procedure. Like many procedures performed for unremitting
pain when neither the medical nor the chiropractic profession is able to
relieve the patient by other means, it is important for our patient's
sake that we become familiar with the validity of these procedures.

Cases of excessive supination do, however, present regularly at chiropractic practices.
