Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation Diagnoses Underlying Causes of Neck Pain and Arm Pain and Delivers Pain Relieving Care

“What is this, doc?” Such a question is always welcome at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation. Sometimes there is a clear answer, and sometimes there is not. It’s a great discussion starter though. These queries typically occur at some point in the exam but sometimes occur during a chiropractic office visit. They always tell something useful toward pain relief that both your Tonawanda chiropractor wants for you and you want for yourself. Interesting conditions may present themselves via curious symptoms like this case of cervical spine neck pain with a case of shingles.

CHIROPRACTIC EXAM AND TREATMENT

Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation counts on the clinical exam more than anything else. Your Tonawanda chiropractor listens first, tests second, and considers imaging in consideration of the first two. Each lends a piece of data to the diagnostic puzzle. In a newly published chiropractic case report, a piece of the puzzle arose from a strange rash on a patient’s arm during his care for neck and arm pain. His story involves coughing, fatigue, and congestion that led him to his primary care doctor. He got an influenza and pneumococcal vaccine. The coughing prompted some neck pain that led this 43 year old male to his chiropractor for the neck pain that was explained as constant, sharp neck pain on the left with an aching, tingling sensation extending into his left arm (radiculopathy) specifically into his left lateral arm, forearm, thumb and index finger. Clinical symptoms indicated a diagnosis of a C5-6 disc herniation, a very common cervical disc herniation level. Soon after, he noticed a rash on his left arm that his medical doctor diagnosed as herpes zoster shingles. It was too late for an antiviral, so he took ibuprofen for the shingles pain. He experienced 5 cervical spine treatments following the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management cervical spine protocols in 5 weeks to ease and get rid of the arm pain, reduce the arm rash, and decrease the neck pain by 50%. Another 4 treatments over 12 weeks brought about 80% less neck pain, complete resolution of left arm pain, and faint shingles rash. The patient felt he was back to normal. (1) Talk about unusual!
