Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be upsetting,
but it can also alter balance and lead to falls.
Dizziness with associated cervical spine disc degeneration can be
a problem for older folks. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc shares
new research about chronic neck pain and its link
to dizziness as well as the role Fort Wayne chiropractic care plays
in relief of neck pain and oftentimes
related dizziness.
CERVICAL SPINE DISC DEGENERATION AND DIZZINESS
Patients with chronic neck pain due
to cervical degenerative disease often experience dizziness as well
as neck pain. Many existing studies, both clinical and
basic science, describe the relationship of cervical
disc degeneration and dizziness. A recent study pointed
out that cervicogenic general dizziness was diagnosed in 89% of such patients. Improper neck postures
over long periods of time may contribute
when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have separate
prompts for their dizziness. For example, farming, gardening, and
weeding may initiate general dizziness, particularly
in women who are older. (1) Surgeons reporting on a new
surgical approach to relieving chronic neck pain pointed out
that current clinical and immunohistochemical studies strongly suggested
that chronic neck pain and intractable dizziness arose from degenerated
cervical spine discs. The dizziness ensued with only
cervical disc degeneration alone without cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy.
(2) Such cervical spine degenerative disc disease also has been found to be accompanied by inflammation, specifically
inflammatory cytokines that affect mechanoreceptors like the
Ruffini corpuscles in degenerated discs resulting in
dizziness. The good news: a majority of patients
with cervical disc disease and related dizziness find conservative treatment to be
effective for them. (3) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is the clinic for
conservative chiropractic care of Fort Wayne neck pain and degenerated
cervical discs.
CHIROPRACTIC CONSERVATIVE CARE FOR
DIZZINESS
An Australian study of chiropractic care
of neck pain patients who also experienced dizziness found
that chiropractic is frequently utilized by these
patients to manage their neck pain. One in five people over age 70
years suffered with neck pain. 57.3% of chiropractors reported
that the neck pain and related dizziness was quite
responsive to their chiropractic conservative care. (4) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc uses
the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration
and its related Fort Wayne neck pain.
