Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be upsetting,
but it can also affect balance and lead 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 affiliation
to dizziness as well as the role Plainville chiropractic care contributes
in relieving neck pain 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, detail the relationship of cervical
disc degeneration and dizziness. A new study indicated that cervicogenic general dizziness was the diagnosis
for 89% of these patients. Improper 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 trigger general dizziness, particularly
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 arose 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, specifically
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 had dizziness revealed
that chiropractic is often used by these
patients to manage their neck pain. One in five people over age 70
years suffered with neck pain. 57.3% of chiropractors stated
that the neck pain and associated dizziness was quite
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.
