Plainville Dizziness and Neck Pain Care at Layden Chiropractic
Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be upsetting, but it can also affect balance and contribute to falls. Dizziness with associated cervical spine disc degeneration can be a problem for older folks. Layden Chiropractic presents new research about chronic neck pain and its link to dizziness as well as the role Plainville chiropractic care contributes in neck pain relief and frequently 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, detail the connection of cervical disc degeneration and dizziness. A recent study indicated that cervicogenic general dizziness was diagnosed in 89% of these patients. Inappropriate neck postures over long periods of time may contribute when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have different prompts for their dizziness. For example, farming, gardening, and weeding may initiate general dizziness, especially in older women. (1) Surgeons reporting on a new surgical approach to relieving chronic neck pain pointed out 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 degenerative disc disease in the neck also has been found to be accompanied by inflammation, particularly inflammatory cytokines that affect mechanoreceptors like the Ruffini corpuscles in degenerated discs resulting in dizziness. The good news: a majority of cervical spine disc disease patients and associated dizziness report that conservative treatment is effective for them. (3) Layden Chiropractic is the place for conservative chiropractic care of Plainville neck pain and degenerated cervical discs.
CHIROPRACTIC CONSERVATIVE CARE FOR DIZZINESS
An Australian study of chiropractic care of neck pain patients who also reported dizziness revealed that chiropractic is often used by these patients to manage 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) Layden Chiropractic uses the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration and its related Plainville neck pain.
