St Peters Dizziness and Neck Pain Care at Old Mill Chiropractic
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. Old Mill Chiropractic shares new research about chronic neck pain and its relationship to dizziness as well as the role St Peters chiropractic care contributes in relief of neck pain and oftentimes 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 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. Inappropriate neck postures over long periods of time may be a factor when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have different prompts 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 pointed out that current clinical and immunohistochemical studies strongly indicated 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 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) Old Mill Chiropractic is the clinic for conservative chiropractic care of St Peters 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 found that chiropractic is often 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 moderately responsive to their chiropractic conservative care. (4) Old Mill Chiropractic utilizes the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration and its related St Peters neck pain.
