Can Chiropractic Relieve Neck Pain? La Grande Chiropractic Thoracic Spine Treatment Helps Ease Neck and Arm Pain.
The spine. Its five sections form one spine, so it’s logical that treating one section might affect another. So fascinating. So newly published! Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC likes new research, and this new research presents that treating the thoracic spine beneficially influences the status of the cervical spine. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is all for the two-for-one effect for spinal pain decrease! When issues of cervical spine myelopathy and disc herniation are concerned, La Grande 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 show C4/5 disc hyperintensity on T2-MRI images. (1) Another interesting study 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 telling patients what to expect to enhance satisfaction: At 12 months after surgery for neck degenerative myelopathy, the relief of pain and function issues may be improved (37%), may be the same (55%), or may deteriorate (7%). (2) Honesty is the best policy in life and in doctor-patient relationships. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC 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.”) La Grande chiropractic care incorporating 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 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 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! Wonderful! There is that beneficial two-for-one effect again.
