Can Chiropractic Relieve Neck Pain? Juneau Chiropractic Thoracic Spine Treatment Helps Ease Neck and Arm Pain.
The spine. Its five sections form one spine, so it’s logical that treating one section might affect another. So interesting. So recently published! Aurora Chiropractic Center enjoys new research, and this new research describes how treating the thoracic spine beneficially affects the status of the cervical spine. Aurora Chiropractic Center is completely in favor of the two-for-one effect for spinal pain decrease! When problems of cervical spine myelopathy and disc herniation are involved, Juneau neck pain patients will be, too.
CERVICAL SPINE PAIN
Cervical spine pain may involve neck pain as well as radiculopathy or cervical radicular pain down the arm. Cervical spine related diseases like this may stimulate other issues, too. For example, patients with cervical spine spinal cord disease have 3 times more likelihood of having cardiovascular disease. Rapidly progressive cervical spine myelopathy patients are likely to have a history of a cardiovascular event and show C4/5 disc hyperintensity on T2-MRI images. (1) Another intriguing report of patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy - a progressive spine disease concerning cervical spinal cord compression – found that patient evaluation of the quality of care they received comes down to satisfaction. The research findings, therefore, emphasize the significance of explaining to patients what they can expect to boost satisfaction: At 12 months after surgery for neck degenerative myelopathy, the relief of pain and function issues may be better (37%), may be the same (55%), or may deteriorate (7%). (2) Honesty is the best policy in life and in doctor-patient interactions. Aurora Chiropractic Center shares its proposed treatment’s expected outcomes and the course of healing to be expected on day one. (ex: “Some days will be better than others as you heal. Healing comes when the good days begin to exceed the poor ones.”) Juneau chiropractic care including gentle chiropractic adjusting – like with Cox® Technic – enhances the odds of good days and more good days!
THORACIC SPINE ADJUSTING HELPS CERVICAL SPINE PAIN
Chiropractic treatment of the thoracic spine can be quite gentle and pain-relieving not just for the thoracic spine but also the cervical spine. Thoracic spine thrust adjusting has been demonstrated to improve cervical spine pain and enhance disability. A recent article tells of improvements in pain, disability, cervical spine range of motion, and deep neck flexor endurance in patients who experience cervical spine radiculopathy after just one treatment. These changes were most reported by patients 48 to 72 hours after treatment. (3) Neighboring cervical and thoracic spine sections feed off of each other’s care! Wonderful! There is that positive two-for-one effect again.
