Fort Wayne Thoracic Spine Pain Helped by Chiropractic Care
For those of us struggling with thoracic (mid-spine) pain, chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy can be an effective way to decrease symptoms and improve our quality of life. This type of treatment focuses on biomechanical parameters to help enhance clinical outcomes, such as increasing range of motion and decreasing pain levels. Let's explore the ways in which this type of therapy can help Fort Wayne thoracic spine pain sufferers find relief at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic.
WHAT IS THORACIC PAIN?
Thoracic pain is a type of back pain that involves the middle part of your spine, called the thoracic spine region. This area incorporates your chest wall, ribs, and lungs. The most common sources of thoracic pain include muscle strain or sprain, disc injury, spinal stenosis, compressed spinal nerve, and/or facet joint dysfunction. Other contributing issues may include weak posture or an injury to the shoulder or arm that puts pressure on the nerves in this area. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic can figure this out via a thorough examination of your spine.
HOW CHIROPRACTORS CAN HELP WITH THORACIC PAIN
Chiropractors like yours at Aaron Chiropractic Clinic are well trained in the identification and treatment of musculoskeletal issues like thoracic pain. They employ a hands-on approach to diagnose and treat these conditions using a variety of techniques such as manual adjustments, electrical stimulation therapy, exercises, and other modalities to lessen inflammation and improve range of motion in affected areas. Via regular visits with their Fort Wayne chiropractor for spinal manipulation and mobilization and treatment plans individualized for them, patients suffering from thoracic pain can get relief without having to take medications or undergoing surgery.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION WORKS AND HELPS
Chiropractic spinal manipulation and mobilization is a type of hands-on treatment using precise force, pressure, and direction to relieve spinal pain. Cox® Technic is a very gentle form of treatment that is segment specific, stretches spinal tissues, and eases pain. The applied forces can be measured specifically with proper equipment. Such precision benefits those with thoracic pain. Research has shown that this type of treatment can decrease stiffness in the spine and relax muscles to help relieve pain levels. One new study of patients with chronic thoracic pain found that spinal manipulation decreased pain intensity, disability, spinal stiffness, and tenderness. (1) Another study stated that patients who were “responders” to spinal manipulation for non-specific thoracic spine pain relief were those whose expectations of improvement and comfort during spinal manipulation were optimistic. (2) So come for thoracic spine treatment with a positive attitude! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is ready to help.
