Manahawkin Thoracic Spine Pain Helped by Chiropractic Care
For those of us dealing with thoracic (mid-spine) pain, chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy can be an effective approach to lessen symptoms and enhanced our quality of life. This type of treatment centers on biomechanical parameters to help enhance clinical outcomes, such as increasing range of motion and lessening pain levels. Let's explore the ways in which this type of therapy can help Manahawkin thoracic spine pain patients find relief at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center.
WHAT IS THORACIC PAIN?
Thoracic pain is a type of back pain that impacts the mid part of your spine, known as the thoracic spine region. This area includes your chest wall, ribs, and lungs. The most common sources of thoracic pain include muscle strain or sprain, disc injury, spinal stenosis, compressed nerve in the spine, and/or facet joint dysfunction. Other contributors may include bad posture or an injury to the shoulder or arm that involves pressure on the nerves in this area. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center can figure this out via a complete examination of your spine.
HOW CHIROPRACTORS CAN HELP WITH THORACIC PAIN
Chiropractors like yours at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center are well trained in identifying and treating musculoskeletal issues like thoracic pain. They employ a hands-on approach in diagnosing and treating these conditions using various techniques such as manual adjustments, electrical stimulation therapy, exercises, and other modalities to lessen inflammation and improve range of motion in affected areas. Via regular visits with their Manahawkin chiropractor for spinal manipulation and mobilization and treatment plans personalized for them, patients suffering from thoracic pain can get relief without resorting to taking medications or having to undergo surgery.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION WORKS AND HELPS
Chiropractic spinal manipulation and mobilization is a form of hands-on treatment that uses 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 measured precisely with proper equipment. Such precision benefits those with thoracic pain. Research has shown that this type of treatment can decrease stiffness in the spine and relax muscles to assist in the reduction of pain levels. One recent study of patients with chronic thoracic pain found that spinal manipulation decreased pain intensity, disability, spinal stiffness, and tenderness. (1) Another report 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 positive. (2) So come for thoracic spine treatment with a positive attitude! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is here.
