Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be upsetting,
but it can also alter balance and lead to falls.
Dizziness with related cervical spine disc degeneration can be
a problem for folks of an older age. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries presents
new research about chronic neck pain and its relationship
to dizziness as well as the role Manchester chiropractic care plays
in relief of neck pain and frequently
related dizziness.
CERVICAL SPINE DISC DEGENERATION AND DIZZINESS
Patients with chronic neck pain due
to cervical degenerative disease often have dizziness as well
as neck pain. Many already-published studies, both clinical and
basic science, detail the connection of cervical
disc degeneration and dizziness. A new study indicated that cervicogenic general dizziness was diagnosed in 89% of such patients. Improper neck postures
over long time periods may contribute
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 came from degenerated
cervical spine discs. The dizziness ensued 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 patients
with cervical disc disease and associated dizziness find conservative treatment to be
effective for them. (3) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is the clinic for
conservative chiropractic care of Manchester 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 manage 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) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries uses
the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration
and its related Manchester neck pain.
