Fort Wayne Chiropractic Benefit Extends Beyond the Spine

Chiropractic is recognized for its care of the spine. Research is showing that its spinal treatment is beneficial beyond the spine. The latest report describes how Fort Wayne chiropractic thoracic spinal manipulation and mobilization helps with respiratory function. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic offers gentle, safe treatment of the thoracic spine.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE BEYOND THE SPINE

Chiropractors are recognized for their management of musculoskeletal spinal related conditions. Not a bad thing! Chiropractors do offer more. Related to musculoskeletal care is prevention of musculoskeletal problems. A survey of chiropractors about their use of primary preventive care of musculoskeletal problems and other public health-related disorders found that chiropractors undoubtedly offer such prevention care and are ready to do so, but patients do not typically visit them mainly for such care. (1) Additionally, a review of chiropractic websites discovered that 79% of them mentioned care of one or more non-musculoskeletal conditions like sleep issues, constipation/digestive issues, unease/discontent in children, and menstrual cramps/pain.

HYPERKYPHOSIS & RESPIRATION IMPROVEMENT

Several studies are reporting on the benefits of thoracic mobilization for improvement in thoracic hyperkyphosis (upper spine curvature experienced by nearly 20-40% of older adults) and respiratory function. Diaphragmatic breathing is discussed often for its calming benefits. Diaphragmatic excursion, the extent to which the diaphragm expands on inhale, is linked with respiratory function. Improving diaphragm excursion is beneficial. In a new analysis of healthy volunteers with thoracic hyperkyphosis, 8 weeks of thoracic mobilization increased the diaphragmatic excursions while deep breathing, increased forced vital capacity, and the thoracic hyperkyphosis itself. The researchers concluded and suggested the inclusion of thoracic mobilization in respiratory rehabilitation programs to cope with and prevent respiratory dysfunction in those with thoracic hyperkyphosis.

SHOULDER MOTION IMPROVEMENT

Shoulders benefit, also! Shoulder pain sufferers found that thoracic spinal manipulation immediately increased neuromuscular drive as well as serratus anterior muscle activity, an important muscle for scapular motion. Thoracic spinal manipulation is linked with short-term improvements in clinical outcomes of shoulder pain. (4) Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is quite experienced in delivering gentle thoracic manipulation.
