Baton Rouge 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 care centers on biomechanical parameters to help improve clinical outcomes, such as enhancing range of motion and reducing pain levels. Let's explore the ways in which this type of therapy can help Baton Rouge thoracic spine pain patients find relief at Spine & Sports Rehab Center.

WHAT IS THORACIC PAIN?

Thoracic pain is a kind of back pain that impacts the middle part of your spine, known as the thoracic spine region. This area includes your chest wall, ribs, and lungs. The most common causes of thoracic pain involve sprain or strain of muscle, injury to a disc, spinal stenosis, pinched spinal nerve, and/or facet joint dysfunction. Other contributors may include weak posture or an injury to the shoulder or arm that involves pressure on the nerves in this area. Spine & Sports Rehab Center can figure this out with a thorough examination of your spine.

HOW CHIROPRACTORS CAN HELP WITH THORACIC PAIN

Chiropractors like yours at Spine & Sports Rehab Center are experienced in the identification and treatment of musculoskeletal issues like thoracic pain. They use 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 decrease inflammation and improve range of motion in affected areas. Via regular visits with their Baton Rouge chiropractor for spinal manipulation and mobilization and treatment plans personalized for them, patients suffering from thoracic pain can find relief without resorting to taking medications or undergoing surgery.

HOW CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION WORKS AND HELPS

Chiropractic spinal manipulation and mobilization is a form of hands-on treatment using precise force, pressure, and direction to relieve spinal pain. Cox® Technic is one very gentle type of treatment that is segment specific, stretches spinal tissues, and eases pain. The applied forces can be calculated specifically with proper equipment. Such precision benefits those with thoracic pain. Research has shown that this type of treatment can reduce stiffness in the spine and relax muscles to help relieve pain levels. One new study of patients with chronic thoracic pain documented that spinal manipulation reduced 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! Spine & Sports Rehab Center is ready to help.
