Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be upsetting,
but it can also affect balance and lead to falls.
Dizziness with related cervical spine disc degeneration can be
a problem for older folks. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre presents
new research about chronic neck pain and its relationship
to dizziness as well as the role Toronto chiropractic care contributes
in relief of neck pain and frequently
related dizziness.
CERVICAL SPINE DISC DEGENERATION AND DIZZINESS
Patients with chronic neck pain due
to cervical degenerative disease often experience dizziness as well
as neck pain. Many existing studies, both clinical and
basic science, describe the relationship of cervical
disc degeneration and dizziness. A new study pointed
out that cervicogenic general dizziness was the diagnosis
for 89% of such patients. Improper neck postures
over long time periods may contribute
when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have separate
triggers for their dizziness. For example, farming, gardening, and
weeding may cause general dizziness, especially
in women who are older. (1) Surgeons reporting on a new
surgical approach to relieving chronic neck pain explained
that current clinical and immunohistochemical studies strongly suggested
that chronic neck pain and intractable dizziness arose from degenerated
cervical spine discs. The dizziness occurred with only
cervical disc degeneration alone without cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy.
(2) Such cervical spine degenerative disc disease also has been found to be accompanied by inflammation, specifically
inflammatory cytokines that affect mechanoreceptors like the
Ruffini corpuscles in degenerated discs leading to
dizziness. The good news: a majority of patients
with cervical disc disease and related dizziness find conservative treatment to be
effective for them. (3) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is the clinic for
conservative chiropractic care of Toronto neck pain and degenerated
cervical discs.
CHIROPRACTIC CONSERVATIVE CARE FOR
DIZZINESS
An Australian study of chiropractic care
of neck pain patients who also experienced dizziness found
that chiropractic is frequently used by these
patients to handle their neck pain. One in five people over age 70
years suffered with neck pain. 57.3% of chiropractors reported
that the neck pain and related dizziness was quite
responsive to their chiropractic conservative care. (4) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre utilizes
the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration
and its related Toronto neck pain.
