Concord, NC Dizziness and Neck Pain Care at Pure Chiropractic
Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be frustrating, but it can also alter balance and contribute to falls. Dizziness with associated cervical spine disc degeneration can be a problem for older folks. Pure Chiropractic shares new research about chronic neck pain and its link to dizziness as well as the role Concord, NC chiropractic care contributes in neck pain relief and oftentimes related dizziness.
CERVICAL SPINE DISC DEGENERATION AND DIZZINESS
Patients with chronic neck pain due to cervical degenerative disease often have dizziness as well as neck pain. Many already-published studies, both clinical and basic science, describe the connection of cervical disc degeneration and dizziness. A recent study indicated that cervicogenic general dizziness was the diagnosis for 89% of such patients. Improper neck postures over long periods of time may contribute when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have different triggers for their dizziness. For example, farming, gardening, and weeding may cause general dizziness, particularly in older women. (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 came from degenerated cervical spine discs. The dizziness happened 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, particularly inflammatory cytokines that trigger mechanoreceptors like the Ruffini corpuscles in degenerated discs resulting in dizziness. The good news: a majority of patients with cervical disc disease and related dizziness report that conservative treatment is effective for them. (3) Pure Chiropractic is the home for conservative chiropractic care of Concord, NC 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 utilized by these patients to handle their neck pain. One in five people over age 70 years experienced neck pain. 57.3% of chiropractors said that the neck pain and associated dizziness was moderately responsive to their chiropractic conservative care. (4) Pure Chiropractic uses the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration and its related Concord, NC neck pain.
