The spine. Its five sections constitutes
one spine, so it’s logical that treating one section
might affect another. So fascinating. So recently
published! Hollstrom & Associates Inc likes new
research, and this new research describes how treating the thoracic spine positively influences
the status of the cervical spine. Hollstrom & Associates Inc is completely in
favor of the two-for-one effect for spinal pain decrease! When problems of
cervical spine myelopathy and disc herniation are involved,
Largo neck pain patients will be, too.
CERVICAL SPINE PAIN
Cervical spine pain may involve neck pain as
well as radiculopathy or cervical radicular pain down the arm. Cervical spine
related diseases like this may trigger
other issues, too. For example, patients who have cervical spine
spinal cord disease have three times more incidence of having
cardiovascular disease. Rapidly progressive cervical spine myelopathy patients are
apt to have a history of a cardiovascular event and show
C4/5 disc hyperintensity on T2-MRI images. (1) Another intriguing
study of patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy - a
progressive spine disease concerning cervical spinal cord compression
– discovered that patient evaluation of the quality of care they received comes down to satisfaction.
The research findings, therefore, reiterate the importance
of telling patients what they can expect to enhance
satisfaction: At 12 months following surgery for neck degenerative
myelopathy, the relief of pain and function issues may be improved
(37%), may stay the same (55%), or may deteriorate
(7%). (2) Honesty is the best way in life and in doctor-patient relationships.
Hollstrom & Associates Inc presents its proposed treatment’s expected
outcomes as well as the course of healing to be expected upfront. (ex: “Some days will be nicer than others as you
heal. Healing comes when the good days start
to exceed the poor ones.”) Largo chiropractic care including gentle chiropractic adjusting – like with Cox® Technic – improves
the odds of good days and more good days!
THORACIC SPINE ADJUSTING HELPS CERVICAL SPINE PAIN
Chiropractic treatment of the thoracic spine can be very
gentle and pain-relieving not just for the thoracic spine but also the cervical
spine. Thoracic spine thrust adjusting has been shown to ease
cervical spine pain and enhance disability. A recent
article describes improvements in pain, disability, cervical
spine range of motion, and deep neck flexor endurance in patients who
experience cervical spine radiculopathy after just one treatment. These changes
were most stated 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 positive
two-for-one effect again.
