Summary

Chronic neck pain is particularly prevalent among nurses. Nurses experiencing neck pain frequently report its impacts including decreased job satisfaction and reduced productivity. In recent years, non-pharmacologic approaches have increasingly been used treatments for the management of neck pain. Exercise and manual therapies represent two of the most common non-pharmacologic interventions for pain. The purpose of this study was to perform a pilot study of combined multimodal chiropractic care and Tai Chi for neck pain in nurses to help inform the design of a future, full-scale pragmatic trial.
