Can Chiropractic Relieve Neck Pain? Fort Wayne Chiropractic Thoracic Spine Treatment Helps Ease Neck and Arm Pain.
The spine. Its five sections make up one spine, so it’s logical that treating one section might affect another. So fascinating. So recently published! Aaron Chiropractic Clinic likes new research, and this new research suggests that treating the thoracic spine positively affects the status of the cervical spine. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic is completely in favor of the two-for-one effect for spinal pain decrease! When conditions of cervical spine myelopathy and disc herniation are concerned, Fort Wayne neck pain patients will be, too.
CERVICAL SPINE PAIN
Cervical spine pain may include neck pain as well as radiculopathy or cervical radicular pain down the arm. Cervical spine related diseases like this may elicit other issues, too. For example, patients with cervical spine spinal cord disease have 3 times more incidence of having cardiovascular disease. Rapidly progressive cervical spine myelopathy patients are apt to have a history of a cardiovascular event and show C4/5 disc hyperintensity on T2-MRI images. (1) Another interesting report of patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy - a progressive spine disease involving cervical spinal cord compression – discovered that patient evaluation of the quality of care they received comes down to satisfaction. The research findings, therefore, reiterate the significance of explaining to patients what they can expect to increase satisfaction: At 12 months following surgery for neck degenerative myelopathy, the relief of pain and function issues may be improved (37%), may remain the same (55%), or may deteriorate (7%). (2) Honesty is the best policy in life and in doctor-patient relationships. Aaron Chiropractic Clinic shares its proposed treatment’s expected outcomes as well as the course of healing to be expected on day one. (ex: “Some days will be nicer than others as you heal. Healing happens when the good days start 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 very 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! Wonderful! There is that positive two-for-one effect again.
