THORACIC MANIPULATION TO IMPROVE CERVICAL SPINE FUNCTION
Neck pain and other cervical spine conditions limit motion in the neck. Thoracic spine spinal manipulation enhanced 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 effectively enhanced 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 needs one treatment. In this study, 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 restriction may come with other issues that need relief, too. A case report of a female patient experiencing neurofibromatosis (type 1) along with neck, scapula, lumbar and temporomandibular pain and headache explains relief with chiropractic care. Cervical spine flexion distraction spinal manipulation in conjunction with myofascial release, ergonomic patient education, and active care recommendations 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 as well. (4) Your Richmond chiropractor makes sure to tackle the primary and any influencing factors to your spine pain condition. Relief of pain is the aim!
