Toronto Thoracic Spine Pain Helped by Chiropractic Care
For those of us struggling with thoracic (mid-spine) pain, chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy can be an effective way to reduce symptoms and improve our quality of life. This type of treatment centers on biomechanical parameters to help improve clinical outcomes, such as improving range of motion and reducing pain levels. Let's explore the ways in which this type of therapy can help Toronto thoracic spine pain patients find relief at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre.
WHAT IS THORACIC PAIN?
Thoracic pain is a kind of back pain that involves the middle part of your spine, called the thoracic spine region. This area comprises your chest wall, ribs, and lungs. The most common sources of thoracic pain involve muscle strain or sprain, disc injury, spinal stenosis, compressed nerve in the spine, and/or facet joint dysfunction. Other contributing issues may include weak posture or an injury to the shoulder or arm that puts pressure on the nerves in this area. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre can figure this out with a thorough examination of your spine.
HOW CHIROPRACTORS CAN HELP WITH THORACIC PAIN
Chiropractors like yours at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre are experienced in identifying and treating musculoskeletal conditions like thoracic pain. They depend on a hands-on approach to diagnose and treat these conditions using a variety of techniques such as manual adjustments, electrical stimulation therapy, exercises, and other modalities to lessen inflammation and improve range of motion in affected areas. Via regular visits with their Toronto chiropractor for spinal manipulation and mobilization and treatment plans tailored specifically for them, thoracic spine pain sufferers can find relief without having to take medications or undergoing surgery.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION WORKS AND HELPS
Chiropractic spinal manipulation and mobilization is a form of hands-on treatment that uses precise force, pressure, and direction to relieve spinal pain. Cox® Technic is a very gentle form of treatment that is segment specific, stretches spinal tissues, and eases pain. The applied forces can be measured specifically with proper equipment. Such precision benefits those with thoracic pain. Research has shown that this type of treatment can reduce stiffness in the spine and relax muscles to help relieve pain levels. One recent study of patients with chronic thoracic pain found that spinal manipulation decreased pain intensity, disability, spinal stiffness, and tenderness. (1) Another report noted that patients who were “responders” to spinal manipulation for non-specific thoracic spine pain relief were those whose expectations of improvement and comfort during spinal manipulation were positive.
