What is the potential benefit of NeckCare? | Patient Facing Information

NeckCare assessment results help clinicians identify issues such as limited range of motion or sensory impairments and guide appropriate treatment. Addressing these findings with targeted therapy and exercises can improve recovery, reduce symptoms, and enhance overall neck function, while ongoing assessment helps track progress and detect potential issues early.

If the NeckCare assessment identifies restricted range of motion in your neck, your clinician will interpret the results and address them appropriately. Improving your neck’s range of motion can significantly reduce stiffness, relieve discomfort, and make everyday tasks easier. Maintaining good range of motion is essential for overall neck health.

If the NeckCare assessment identifies sensory issues, adding targeted exercises specifically designed to improve these sensory functions into your treatment plan can help speed your recovery and improve your overall outcome.  

For patients experiencing persistent neck pain or lingering symptoms after injuries like whiplash or concussion, addressing these sensory impairments in the neck can often be the key to successful treatment and recovery. Research has clearly shown that combining standard neck therapy with specialized sensory exercises yields faster and more effective results. On the other hand, leaving these sensory impairments untreated may prolong your symptoms and delay recovery. 

The NeckCare System is especially valuable for understanding if your neck might be contributing to symptoms after complex injuries, such as whiplash or concussion. For example, suppose you're recovering from a concussion but still experience symptoms and perform poorly on NeckCare’s sensory tests. This may indicate that your neck is contributing to your symptoms and requires targeted rehabilitation. 

Finally, assessing and regularly checking sensorimotor function can help track your improvement. Even healthy individuals, such as athletes or people with high physical demands, can benefit from a NeckCare assessment. Identifying subtle sensory issues early can help prevent future injuries and maintain optimal performance.
