THORACIC MANIPULATION TO IMPROVE CERVICAL SPINE FUNCTION

Neck pain and other cervical spine conditions restrict cervical spine motion. Thoracic spine spinal manipulation enhanced neck function for patients with chronic or recurrent neck or shoulder pain with or without arm pain who had experienced such pain for at least 3 months. Thoracic spine manipulation effectively enhanced flexion and rotation of the cervical region. (1) Another study used thoracic spine manipulation to reduce neck pain and improve cervical spine range of motion in patients with mechanical neck pain and cervicothoracic junction dysfunction. It worked! (2) Sometimes it only takes one treatment. In this study, one thoracic manipulation session comparably delivered pain relief at immediate-term follow-up for chronic neck pain patients as thoracic mobilization. (3) Your Baton Rouge chiropractor at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers is well-trained in delivering thoracic spine manipulation that not only feels great but is quite relieving.

CHIROPRACTIC MANIPLULATION TO RELIEVE HEADACHE AND NECK PAIN

Patients with neck pain and cervical spine motion limitation may arise with other conditions that need relief, too. A case report of a female patient suffering with neurofibromatosis (type 1) along with neck, scapula, lumbar and temporomandibular pain and headache describes relief with chiropractic care. Cervical spine flexion distraction spinal manipulation in conjunction with myofascial release, ergonomic patient education, and active care tips lessened neck pain and headache frequency. The chronic tightness and pain in the cervicothoracic regions and lumbar spine due to removal of the neurofibroma were relieved as well. (4) Your Baton Rouge chiropractor is certain to tackle the primary and any contributing aspects to your spine pain condition. Pain relief is the aim!
