Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be upsetting,
but it can also affect balance and contribute to falls.
Dizziness with related cervical spine disc degeneration can be
a problem for older folks. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka presents
new research about chronic neck pain and its affiliation
to dizziness as well as the role Sitka 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 existing studies, both clinical and
basic science, describe the connection of cervical
disc degeneration and dizziness. A new study pointed
out that cervicogenic general dizziness was the diagnosis
for 89% of such patients. Improper neck postures
over long periods of time may contribute
when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have separate
prompts for their dizziness. For example, farming, gardening, and
weeding may cause general dizziness, especially
in older women. (1) Surgeons reporting on a new
surgical approach to relieving chronic neck pain explained
that current clinical and immunohistochemical studies strongly suggested
that chronic neck pain and intractable dizziness came from degenerated
cervical spine discs. The dizziness happened 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, specifically
inflammatory cytokines that trigger mechanoreceptors like the
Ruffini corpuscles in degenerated discs leading to
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 had dizziness revealed
that chiropractic is often utilized by these
patients to handle their neck pain. One in five people over age 70
years suffered with neck pain. 57.3% of chiropractors said
that the neck pain and related dizziness was moderately
responsive to their chiropractic conservative care. (4) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka uses
the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration
and its related Sitka neck pain.
