What Lessens Neck Pain? Chiropractic Thoracic Adjusting Eases Cervical Spine Pain. | Pure Chiropractic

Can Chiropractic Relieve Neck Pain? Concord, NC Chiropractic Thoracic Spine Treatment Helps Ease Neck and Arm Pain.

June 18, 2019

The spine. Its five sections make up one spine, so it makes sense that treating one section might affect another. So interesting. So newly published! Pure Chiropractic likes new research, and this new research indicates that treating the thoracic spine beneficially influences the status of the cervical spine. Pure Chiropractic is completely in favor of the two-for-one effect for spinal pain decrease! When issues of cervical spine myelopathy and disc herniation are concerned, Concord, NC 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. Such diseases of the cervical spine may trigger 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 tend to have a history of a cardiovascular event and show C4/5 disc hyperintensity on T2-MRI images. (1) Another interesting report of patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy - a progressive spine disease involving cervical spinal cord compression – discovered that patients evaluated the quality of their care based on satisfaction. The research findings, therefore, emphasize the significance of telling 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 deteriorate (7%). (2) Honesty is the best way in life and in doctor-patient relationships. Pure Chiropractic presents its proposed treatment’s expected outcomes and the course of healing to be expected on day one. (ex: “Some days will be nicer than others as you heal. Healing comes when the good days start to exceed the poor ones.”) Concord, NC chiropractic care with its gentle chiropractic adjusting – like with Cox® Technic – enhances 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 demonstrated to ease cervical spine pain and enhance 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) Adjacent cervical and thoracic spine sections feed off of each other’s care! Amazing! There is that beneficial two-for-one effect again.
