Montreal Thoracic Spine Pain Helped by Chiropractic Care
For those of us struggling with thoracic (mid-spine) pain, chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy can be a good way to reduce symptoms and enhanced our quality of life. This type of care centers on biomechanical parameters to help enhance clinical outcomes, such as enhancing range of motion and lessening pain levels. Let's explore the ways in which this type of therapy can help Montreal thoracic spine pain sufferers find relief at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic.
WHAT IS THORACIC PAIN?
Thoracic pain is a kind of back pain that affects the mid section of your spine, known as the thoracic spine region. This area comprises your chest wall, ribs, and lungs. The most common causes of thoracic pain include muscle strain or sprain, disc injury, spinal stenosis, pinched nerve in the spine, and/or facet joint dysfunction. Other contributors may include poor posture or an injury to the shoulder or arm that puts pressure on the nerves in this area. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic can figure this out with a complete examination of your spine.
HOW CHIROPRACTORS CAN HELP WITH THORACIC PAIN
Chiropractors like yours at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic are experienced in the identification and treatment of musculoskeletal issues like thoracic pain. They depend on a hands-on approach in diagnosing and treating these conditions using various techniques such as manual adjustments, electrical stimulation therapy, exercises, and other modalities to decrease inflammation and improve range of motion in involved areas. Via regular visits with their Montreal chiropractor for spinal manipulation and mobilization and treatment plans customized just for them, thoracic spine pain sufferers can get relief without resorting to taking medications or undergoing surgery.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION WORKS AND HELPS
Chiropractic spinal manipulation and mobilization is a form of hands-on treatment that uses precise force, pressure, and direction to relieve spinal pain. Cox® Technic is a very gentle form of treatment that is segment specific, stretches spinal tissues, and eases pain. The applied forces can be measured specifically with proper equipment. Such precision benefits those with thoracic pain. Research has shown that this type of treatment can decrease stiffness in the spine and relax muscles to help relieve pain levels. One recent study of patients with chronic thoracic pain explained that spinal manipulation reduced pain intensity, disability, spinal stiffness, and tenderness. (1) Another study noted that patients who were “responders” to spinal manipulation for non-specific thoracic spine pain relief were those whose expectations of improvement and comfort during spinal manipulation were optimistic. (2) So come for thoracic spine treatment with a positive attitude! Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is here.
