Can Chiropractic Relieve Neck Pain? Largo Chiropractic Thoracic Spine Treatment Helps Ease Neck and Arm Pain.
The spine. Its five sections constitutes one spine, so it’s logical that treating one area might affect another. So interesting. So recently published! Hollstrom & Associates Inc enjoys new research, and this new research suggests that treating the thoracic spine beneficially affects the status of the cervical spine. Hollstrom & Associates Inc is all for 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 stimulate other issues, too. For example, patients who have cervical spine spinal cord disease have 3 times more incidence of having cardiovascular disease. Rapidly progressive cervical spine myelopathy patients tend 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 involving cervical spinal cord compression – found that patient evaluation of the quality of care they received comes down to satisfaction. The research findings, therefore, reiterate the significance of explaining to patients what they can expect to increase 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 deteriorate (7%). (2) Honesty is the best policy in life and in doctor-patient relationships. Hollstrom & Associates Inc presents its proposed treatment’s expected outcomes and 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 begin to exceed the poor ones.”) Largo chiropractic care with its 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 quite gentle and pain-relieving not just for the thoracic spine but also the cervical spine. Thoracic spine thrust adjusting has been demonstrated to ease cervical spine pain and improve disability. A recent article describes 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.
