Full text PDF: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38169407/Dr. John Stenberg discusses a 2024 study on the effects of a long-term cervical extensor exercise program on young adults with chronic non-specific neck pain. The study compares the outcomes of a structured exercise regimen against basic stretching techniques, highlighting the importance of cervical extensor muscles in maintaining neck health. Key findings indicate that specific exercises lead to significant improvements in pain, disability, and muscle mass over time. Dr. Stenberg emphasizes the need for consistent patient engagement in their recovery process and provides practical applications for chiropractors to implement these findings in their practice.Dr. Stenberg's Colorado Springs, CO practice: https://www.zenithchiroco.com/Dr. Stenberg on IG: @zenith_chiro
