Can Chiropractic Relieve Neck Pain? Manahawkin Chiropractic Thoracic Spine Treatment Helps Ease Neck and Arm Pain.
The spine. Its five sections make up one spine, so it’s logical that treating one area might affect another. So interesting. So newly published! Manahawkin Chiropractic Center enjoys new research, and this new research presents that treating the thoracic spine positively affects the status of the cervical spine. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is completely in favor of the two-for-one effect for spinal pain reduction! When conditions of cervical spine myelopathy and disc herniation are involved, Manahawkin neck pain patients will be, too.
CERVICAL SPINE PAIN
Cervical spine pain may include 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 who have cervical spine spinal cord disease have three times more likelihood of having cardiovascular disease. Rapidly progressive cervical spine myelopathy patients are likely to have a history of a cardiovascular event and show C4/5 disc hyperintensity on T2-MRI images. (1) Another interesting report 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, emphasize the importance of explaining to patients what to expect to enhance 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 way in life and in doctor-patient interactions. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center shares its proposed treatment’s expected outcomes and 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 begin to exceed the poor ones.”) Manahawkin chiropractic care incorporating gentle chiropractic adjusting – like with Cox® Technic – enhances the odds of good days and more good days!
THORACIC SPINE ADJUSTING HELPS CERVICAL SPINE PAIN
Chiropractic treatment of the thoracic spine can be quite 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 current article tells of improvements in pain, disability, cervical spine range of motion, and deep neck flexor endurance in patients who have cervical spine radiculopathy after just one treatment. These changes were most reported by patients 48 to 72 hours after treatment. (3) Adjacent cervical and thoracic spine sections feed off of each other’s care! Amazing! There is that beneficial two-for-one effect again.
