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

The spine. Its five sections make up one spine, so it’s logical that treating one area might affect another. So interesting. So newly published! Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn likes new research, and this new research presents that treating the thoracic spine positively influences the status of the cervical spine. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is all for the two-for-one effect for spinal pain reduction! When issues of cervical spine myelopathy and disc herniation are involved, Ashburn and Herndon 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 with cervical spine spinal cord disease have three times more likelihood of having cardiovascular disease. Rapidly progressive cervical spine myelopathy patients are apt 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 patient evaluation of the quality of care they received comes down to satisfaction. The research findings, therefore, emphasize the significance of explaining to patients what they can expect to boost satisfaction: At 12 months following surgery for neck degenerative myelopathy, the relief of pain and function issues may be improved (37%), may remain the same (55%), or may deteriorate (7%). (2) Honesty is the best policy in life and in doctor-patient relationships. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn presents its proposed treatment’s expected outcomes and the course of healing to be expected on day one. (ex: “Some days will be better than others as you heal. Healing comes when the good days begin to exceed the poor ones.”) Ashburn and Herndon 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 quite 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 improve disability. A current article tells of 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 stated by patients 48 to 72 hours after treatment. (3) Neighboring cervical and thoracic spine sections feed off of each other’s care! Wonderful! There is that beneficial two-for-one effect again.
