The spine. Its five sections constitutes
one spine, so it’s logical that treating one area
might affect another. So interesting. So recently
published! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre has a thing about new
research, and this new research indicates that treating the thoracic spine positively influences
the status of the cervical spine. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is all for the two-for-one effect for spinal pain reduction! When conditions of
cervical spine myelopathy and disc herniation are involved,
Toronto 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 stimulate
other issues, too. For example, patients who have cervical spine
spinal cord disease have 3 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 intriguing
report of patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy - a
progressive spine disease concerning cervical spinal cord compression
– discovered that patient evaluation of the quality of care they received comes down to satisfaction.
The research findings, therefore, emphasize the significance
of explaining to patients what they can expect to increase
satisfaction: At 12 months after surgery for neck degenerative
myelopathy, the relief of pain and function issues may be better
(37%), may be the same (55%), or may decline
(7%). (2) Honesty is the best policy in life and in doctor-patient interactions.
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre presents its proposed treatment’s expected
outcomes as well as the course of healing to be expected upfront. (ex: “Some days will be better than others as you
heal. Healing happens when the good days begin
to exceed the poor ones.”) Toronto 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 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 recent
article describes 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 positive
two-for-one effect again.
