THORACIC MANIPULATION TO BETTER CERVICAL SPINE FUNCTION
Neck pain and other cervical spine conditions restrict cervical spine motion. Thoracic spine spinal manipulation improved neck function for patients with chronic or recurrent neck or shoulder pain with or without arm pain who had experienced such pain for a minimum of 3 months. Thoracic spine manipulation efficiently increased flexion and rotation of the cervical region. (1) Another study used thoracic spine manipulation to decrease neck pain and enhance cervical spine range of motion in patients with mechanical neck pain and cervicothoracic junction dysfunction. It worked! (2) Sometimes it only needs one treatment. In this study, one thoracic manipulation session similarly delivered pain relief at immediate-term follow-up for chronic neck pain patients as thoracic mobilization. (3) Your St Peters chiropractor at Old Mill Chiropractic is well-trained in providing thoracic spine manipulation that not only feels great but is quite alleviating.
CHIROPRACTIC MANIPLULATION TO RELIEVE HEADACHE AND NECK PAIN
Patients with neck pain and cervical spine motion limitation may arise with other issues that need relief, too. A case report of a female patient suffering with neurofibromatosis (type 1) along with neck, scapula, lumbar and temporomandibular discomfort and headache describes relief with chiropractic care. Cervical spine flexion distraction spinal manipulation in conjunction with myofascial release, ergonomic patient education, and active care tips decreased neck pain and headache frequency. The chronic tightness and pain in the cervicothoracic regions and lumbar spine where the neurofibroma had been removed were eased too. (4) Your St Peters chiropractor makes sure to tackle the main and any contributing aspects to your spine pain condition. Pain relief is the goal!
