Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be frustrating,
but it can also affect balance and contribute to falls.
Dizziness with related cervical spine disc degeneration can be
a problem for folks of an older age. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn shares
new research about chronic neck pain and its link
to dizziness as well as the role Ashburn chiropractic care plays
in neck pain relief and frequently
related dizziness.
CERVICAL SPINE DISC DEGENERATION AND DIZZINESS
Patients with chronic neck pain due
to cervical degenerative disease often have dizziness as well
as neck pain. Many already-published studies, both clinical and
basic science, detail the connection of cervical
disc degeneration and dizziness. A recent study indicated that cervicogenic general dizziness was the diagnosis
for 89% of these patients. Inappropriate neck postures
over long time periods may be a factor
when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have different
prompts for their dizziness. For example, farming, gardening, and
weeding may cause general dizziness, particularly
in older women. (1) Surgeons reporting on a new
surgical approach to relieving chronic neck pain pointed out
that current clinical and immunohistochemical studies strongly indicated
that chronic neck pain and intractable dizziness arose from degenerated
cervical spine discs. The dizziness occurred with only
cervical disc degeneration alone without cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy.
(2) Such cervical spine degenerative disc disease also has been found to be accompanied by inflammation, specifically
inflammatory cytokines that affect mechanoreceptors like the
Ruffini corpuscles in degenerated discs leading to
dizziness. The good news: a majority of patients
with cervical disc disease and associated dizziness report
that conservative treatment is effective for them. (3) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is the place for
conservative chiropractic care of Ashburn neck pain and degenerated
cervical discs.
CHIROPRACTIC CONSERVATIVE CARE FOR
DIZZINESS
An Australian study of chiropractic care
of neck pain patients who also reported dizziness found
that chiropractic is frequently utilized by these
patients to handle their neck pain. One in five people over age 70
years suffered with neck pain. 57.3% of chiropractors said
that the neck pain and related dizziness was quite
responsive to their chiropractic conservative care. (4) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn uses
the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration
and its related Ashburn neck pain.
