Can Chiropractic Relieve Neck Pain? Tonawanda Chiropractic Thoracic Spine Treatment Helps Ease Neck and Arm Pain.

June 18, 2019

The spine. Its five sections constitutes one spine, so it’s logical that treating one section might affect another. So fascinating. So recently published! Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation loves new research, and this new research indicates that treating the thoracic spine positively influences the status of the cervical spine. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is completely in favor of the two-for-one effect for spinal pain decrease! When conditions of cervical spine myelopathy and disc herniation are involved, Tonawanda 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 elicit 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 exhibit C4/5 disc hyperintensity on T2-MRI images. (1) Another intriguing report of patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy - a progressive spine disease involving cervical spinal cord compression – found that patients evaluated the quality of their care based on satisfaction. The research findings, therefore, emphasize the significance of explaining to patients what they can expect to boost satisfaction: At 12 months after surgery for neck degenerative myelopathy, the relief of pain and function issues may be improved (37%), may stay the same (55%), or may decline (7%). (2) Honesty is the best way in life and in doctor-patient relationships. Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation shares its proposed treatment’s expected outcomes and the course of healing to be expected upfront. (ex: “Some days will be better than others as you heal. Healing comes when the good days start to exceed the poor ones.”) Tonawanda chiropractic care incorporating 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 improve 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 with cervical spine radiculopathy after just one treatment. These changes were most stated by patients 48 to 72 hours after treatment. (3) Neighboring cervical and thoracic spine sections feed off of each other’s care! Amazing! There is that beneficial two-for-one effect again.
