Oxford Dizziness and Neck Pain Care at Satterwhite Chiropractic
Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be upsetting, but it can also alter balance and contribute to falls. Dizziness with associated cervical spine disc degeneration can be a problem for folks of an older age. Satterwhite Chiropractic shares new research about chronic neck pain and its link to dizziness as well as the role Oxford 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, detail the connection of cervical disc degeneration and dizziness. A recent study pointed out that cervicogenic general dizziness was diagnosed in 89% of these patients. Inappropriate neck postures over long time periods 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, particularly 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 indicated that chronic neck pain and intractable dizziness came 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 leading to dizziness. The good news: a majority of cervical spine disc disease patients and related dizziness find conservative treatment to be effective for them. (3) Satterwhite Chiropractic is the home for conservative chiropractic care of Oxford 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 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 reported that the neck pain and associated dizziness was quite responsive to their chiropractic conservative care.
