Can Chiropractic Relieve Neck Pain? Fort Wayne 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 area might affect another. So fascinating. So recently published! Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc has a thing about new research, and this new research suggests that treating the thoracic spine beneficially influences the status of the cervical spine. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc is completely in favor of the two-for-one effect for spinal pain decrease! When problems of cervical spine myelopathy and disc herniation are concerned, Fort Wayne 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. Such diseases of the cervical spine may stimulate other issues, too. For example, patients who have cervical spine spinal cord disease have 3 times more likelihood of having cardiovascular disease. Rapidly progressive cervical spine myelopathy patients tend to have a history of a cardiovascular event and exhibit C4/5 disc hyperintensity on T2-MRI images. (1) Another interesting study 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, reiterate the significance of telling patients what to expect to enhance satisfaction: At 12 months following surgery for neck degenerative myelopathy, the relief of pain and function issues may be improved (37%), may be the same (55%), or may deteriorate (7%). (2) Honesty is the best policy in life and in doctor-patient interactions. Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc 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 happens when the good days begin to exceed the poor ones.”) Fort Wayne chiropractic care incorporating 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 shown to improve cervical spine pain and enhance disability. A recent article describes 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! Amazing! There is that beneficial two-for-one effect again.
