The spine. Its five sections constitutes
one spine, so it’s logical that treating one area
might affect another. So interesting. So recently
published! Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation likes new
research, and this new research presents that treating the thoracic spine beneficially influences
the status of the cervical spine. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is all for the two-for-one effect for spinal pain decrease! When conditions of
cervical spine myelopathy and disc herniation are concerned,
Carrolltown 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 elicit
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, reiterate the significance
of telling patients what to expect to boost
satisfaction: At 12 months following surgery for neck degenerative
myelopathy, the relief of pain and function issues may be better
(37%), may stay the same (55%), or may deteriorate
(7%). (2) Honesty is the best way in life and in doctor-patient relationships.
Gormish Chiropractic & 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 begin
to exceed the poor ones.”) Carrolltown chiropractic care including 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 demonstrated to ease
cervical spine pain and enhance disability. A recent
article tells of improvements in pain, disability, cervical
spine range of motion, and deep neck flexor endurance in patients who
experience 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.
