THORACIC MANIPULATION TO IMPROVE CERVICAL SPINE
FUNCTION
Neck pain and other cervical spine conditions restrict
motion in the neck. Thoracic spine spinal
manipulation improved neck function for patients with chronic or
recurrent neck or shoulder pain with or without arm pain who had suffered
with such pain for at least 3 months. Thoracic
spine manipulation effectively increased
flexion and rotation of the cervical region. (1) Another study used thoracic
spine manipulation to decrease neck pain and improve
cervical spine range of motion in patients with mechanical neck pain and
cervicothoracic junction dysfunction. It succeeded! (2) Sometimes
it only takes one treatment. In this report, one
thoracic manipulation visit comparably delivered
pain relief at immediate-term follow-up for chronic neck pain patients as
thoracic mobilization. (3) Your Richmond chiropractor at Johnson Chiropractic
is experienced 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 come 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 pain
and headache explains relief with chiropractic care. Cervical
spine flexion distraction spinal manipulation along with
myofascial release, ergonomic patient education, and active care recommendations
decreased neck pain and headache frequency. Her
chronic tightness and pain in the cervicothoracic regions and lumbar spine due
to removal of the neurofibroma
were relieved too. (4) Your Richmond
chiropractor makes sure to tackle the main
and any influencing factors to your spine pain
condition. Relief of pain is the aim!
