Multimodal Chiropractic Management of Cervicalgia: A Retrospective Case Series from a Private Practice
Background: Cervicalgia, or neck pain, is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition causing significant pain and disability. This study's purpose is to report outcomes for patients with cervicalgia undergoing multimodal chiropractic care at a private clinic. Methods: A retrospective case series was conducted on 27 de-identified patient files from Indian Trail Chiropractic & Rehab. All patients presented with a primary diagnosis of cervicalgia (M54.2), completed a full course of care, and had documented pre- and post-treatment outcome measures. Interventions were patient-specific and included chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue therapies (Active Release Technique, Graston Technique), therapeutic modalities (laser, shockwave, e-stim), and corrective exercises. Results: The cohort (n=27) demonstrated a mean self-reported pain reduction of 93% (median 92%) and a mean mobility improvement of 91% (median 90%). Individual cases showed marked improvements in pain scales (NPRS), disability indices (NDI), and objective range of motion measurements. Conclusion: In this retrospective case series, a chiropractor-led multimodal treatment approach was associated with significant improvements in pain, disability, and function for patients with acute and chronic cervicalgia. These findings suggest this conservative care model warrants further investigation.
