Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be frustrating,
but it can also affect balance and contribute to falls.
Dizziness with associated cervical spine disc degeneration can be
a problem for older folks. Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic shares
new research about chronic neck pain and its affiliation
to dizziness as well as the role Montreal chiropractic care contributes
in neck pain relief 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 relationship of cervical
disc degeneration and dizziness. A new study pointed
out 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 initiate general dizziness, particularly
in women who are older. (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 arose from degenerated
cervical spine discs. The dizziness occurred 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 patients
with cervical disc disease and related dizziness report
that conservative treatment is effective for them. (3) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is the home for
conservative chiropractic care of Montreal 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 used by these
patients to handle their neck pain. One in five people over age 70
years experienced neck pain. 57.3% of chiropractors reported
that the neck pain and associated dizziness was moderately
responsive to their chiropractic conservative care. (4) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic utilizes
the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration
and its related Montreal neck pain.
