Chiropractic Benefits Richmond Neck Pain and Dizziness

January 28, 2020

Dizziness and neck pain. Do they go together? Science may not have the correlating research to say yes conclusively, but if a Richmond neck pain patient experiences dizziness, it doesn’t really matter what the research states. There is neck pain and dizziness! Johnson Chiropractic treats Richmond neck pain with chiropractic care, and related dizziness may be alleviated as well.

NECK PAIN AND DIZZINESS

A new paper just came out discussing a potential neck pain and dizziness connection. It makes sense. Cervical spine muscles in the neck link with vestibular (inner ear/balance center), visual and other centers that help with proprioception, our sense of position and movement of the body. When proprioception is not right because of neck issues, disorientation and imbalance may transpire. The term “cervicogenic dizziness” explains dizziness and associated neck pain in patients with cervical spine issues. There is no one exact test a doctor can do that tells that a patient has “cervicogenic dizziness.” However, a patient who complained of dizziness and neck pain was adjusted with chiropractic adjustment and ultrasound therapy reported relief in this study.

Richmond CHIROPRACTIC CARE OF NECK PAIN

Johnson Chiropractic uses a distinctive form of chiropractic treatment in Cox® Technic. Cox® Technic is gentle distraction, no rapid motions or cracking. It’s quite well accepted. For patients who have spinal stenosis because of a disc herniation accompanied by arm pain, 15 treatments over 10 weeks relieved the pain, and the relief was present still at 2 years’ follow-up. (2) It is no wonder that chiropractic patients are willing to pay $37.32 out of pocket to maintain their chronic neck pain and its reduction. (3) An Australian study looked at older adults with neck pain who sought care from a chiropractor. One in 5 people over 70 years old experience neck pain. 45.5% of them experiences neck pain. 31.3% of them also said they had headache. 57.3% of chiropractors reported moderate relief for their patients with dizziness. Migraine sufferers needed many more visits than patients with headache to get relief. (4) There is hope with Richmond chiropractic care for neck pain, headache and dizziness at Johnson Chiropractic.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR Richmond NECK PAIN CARE

Chiropractors like your very own one at Johnson Chiropractic appreciate evidence-based recommendations for patient care. Uncomplicated neck pain as well as neck pain with headache or radicular symptoms, “best practice” recommendations based on “best available scientific evidence” are chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care. An initial trial of 6 to 12 treatments is realistic with a move from passive care to active care and self-care. (5) The Cox® Technic System of spinal pain management established a well-researched and documented treatment plan for neck pain relief.
