Can Chiropractic Relieve Neck Pain? Baton Rouge Chiropractic Thoracic Spine Treatment Helps Ease Neck and Arm Pain.
The spine. Its five sections constitutes one spine, so it’s logical that treating one section might affect another. So interesting. So newly published! Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers likes new research, and this new research describes how treating the thoracic spine positively affects the status of the cervical spine. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is all for the two-for-one effect for spinal pain reduction! When problems of cervical spine myelopathy and disc herniation are involved, Baton Rouge 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. Cervical spine related diseases like this may stimulate 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 tend to have a history of a cardiovascular event and exhibit C4/5 disc hyperintensity on T2-MRI images. (1) Another intriguing 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 increase satisfaction: At 12 months following surgery for neck degenerative myelopathy, the relief of pain and function issues may be better (37%), may remain the same (55%), or may decline (7%). (2) Honesty is the best policy in life and in doctor-patient relationships. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers 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.”) Baton Rouge chiropractic care incorporating gentle chiropractic adjusting – like with Cox® Technic – improves 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 improve disability. A recent article describes improvements in pain, disability, cervical spine range of motion, and deep neck flexor endurance in patients with cervical spine radiculopathy after just one treatment. These changes were most stated 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 positive two-for-one effect again.
