Baton Rouge Dizziness and Neck Pain Care at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers
Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be upsetting, but it can also affect balance and lead to falls. Dizziness with related cervical spine disc degeneration can be a problem for older folks. Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers presents new research about chronic neck pain and its link to dizziness as well as the role Baton Rouge chiropractic care plays in relieving neck pain and frequently related dizziness.
CERVICAL SPINE DISC DEGENERATION AND DIZZINESS
Patients with chronic neck pain due to cervical degenerative disease often have dizziness as well as neck pain. Many existing studies, both clinical and basic science, detail the connection of cervical disc degeneration and dizziness. A new study pointed out that cervicogenic general dizziness was the diagnosis for 89% of these patients. Inappropriate neck postures over long time periods may be a factor when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have separate prompts for their dizziness. For example, farming, gardening, and weeding may cause general dizziness, especially in older women. (1) Surgeons reporting on a new surgical approach to relieving chronic neck pain pointed out that current clinical and immunohistochemical studies strongly suggested that chronic neck pain and intractable dizziness arose from degenerated cervical spine discs. The dizziness happened with only cervical disc degeneration alone without cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy. (2) Such degenerative disc disease in the neck also has been found to be accompanied by inflammation, specifically inflammatory cytokines that trigger mechanoreceptors like the Ruffini corpuscles in degenerated discs resulting in dizziness. The good news: a majority of cervical spine disc disease patients and associated dizziness find conservative treatment to be effective for them. (3) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is the home for conservative chiropractic care of Baton Rouge neck pain and degenerated cervical discs.
CHIROPRACTIC CONSERVATIVE CARE FOR DIZZINESS
An Australian study of chiropractic care of neck pain patients who also had dizziness found that chiropractic is often used by these patients to manage their neck pain. One in five people over age 70 years suffered with neck pain. 57.3% of chiropractors stated that the neck pain and related dizziness was quite responsive to their chiropractic conservative care. (4) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers utilizes the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration and its related Baton Rouge neck pain.
