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 folks of an older age. Apple Country Chiropractic shares
new research about chronic neck pain and its affiliation
to dizziness as well as the role Williamson chiropractic care plays
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 experience 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. Inappropriate neck postures
over long time periods may contribute
when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have separate
triggers 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 pointed out
that current clinical and immunohistochemical studies strongly suggested
that chronic neck pain and intractable dizziness arose 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, specifically
inflammatory cytokines that affect 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) Apple Country Chiropractic is the home for
conservative chiropractic care of Williamson 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 found
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 moderately
responsive to their chiropractic conservative care. (4) Apple Country Chiropractic utilizes
the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration
and its related Williamson neck pain.
