Elgin Dizziness and Neck Pain Care at Connected 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 folks of an older age. Connected Chiropractic shares new research about chronic neck pain and its link to dizziness as well as the role Elgin chiropractic care contributes in neck pain relief and frequently 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 existing studies, both clinical and basic science, detail the connection of cervical disc degeneration and dizziness. A recent study indicated that cervicogenic general dizziness was the diagnosis for 89% of these 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 triggers for their dizziness. For example, farming, gardening, and weeding may trigger general dizziness, especially 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 indicated that chronic neck pain and intractable dizziness arose from degenerated cervical spine discs. The dizziness occurred with only cervical disc degeneration alone without cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy. (2) Such cervical spine degenerative disc disease also has been found to be accompanied by inflammation, particularly inflammatory cytokines that trigger mechanoreceptors like the Ruffini corpuscles in degenerated discs resulting in dizziness. The good news: a majority of cervical spine disc disease patients and related dizziness find conservative treatment to be effective for them. (3) Connected Chiropractic is the clinic for conservative chiropractic care of Elgin 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 revealed that chiropractic is often utilized by these patients to handle their neck pain. One in five people over age 70 years experienced neck pain. 57.3% of chiropractors stated that the neck pain and related dizziness was quite responsive to their chiropractic conservative care. (4) Connected Chiropractic utilizes the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration and its related Elgin neck pain.
