Sitka Dizziness and Neck Pain Care at Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka
Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be upsetting, but it can also affect balance and lead to falls. Dizziness with associated cervical spine disc degeneration can be a problem for older folks. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka presents new research about chronic neck pain and its link to dizziness as well as the role Sitka chiropractic care contributes in relieving neck pain and oftentimes 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 existing studies, both clinical and basic science, describe the connection of cervical disc degeneration and dizziness. A new study indicated that cervicogenic general dizziness was diagnosed in 89% of these patients. Inappropriate neck postures over long time periods may be a factor when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have separate triggers for their dizziness. For example, farming, gardening, and weeding may initiate general dizziness, particularly in women who are older. (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 happened with only cervical disc degeneration alone without cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy. (2) Such degenerative disc disease in the neck also has been found to be accompanied by inflammation, specifically 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 related dizziness report that conservative treatment is effective for them. (3) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka is the home for conservative chiropractic care of Sitka neck pain and degenerated cervical discs.
CHIROPRACTIC CONSERVATIVE CARE FOR DIZZINESS
An Australian study of chiropractic care of neck pain patients who also experienced dizziness revealed that chiropractic is frequently used by these patients to manage their neck pain. One in five people over age 70 years suffered with neck pain. 57.3% of chiropractors stated that the neck pain and related dizziness was moderately responsive to their chiropractic conservative care.
