Chiropractic Benefits McHenry Neck Pain and Dizziness

January 28, 2020

Dizziness and neck pain. Are they linked? Science may not have the correlating research to say yes definitively, but if a McHenry neck pain patient has dizziness, it doesn’t really matter what the research states. There is neck pain and dizziness! OrthoIllinois Chiropractic treats McHenry neck pain with chiropractic care, and related dizziness may be relieved too.

NECK PAIN AND DIZZINESS

A recent paper discusses a potential neck pain and dizziness connection. It makes sense. Cervical spine muscles in the neck connect with vestibular (inner ear/balance center), visual and other centers that help with proprioception, our sense of position and movement of the body. When proprioception is not right due to neck issues, disorientation and disequilibrium may transpire. The term “cervicogenic dizziness” describes dizziness and related neck pain in patients with cervical spine issues. There is no one exact test a doctor can do that says that a patient has “cervicogenic dizziness.” However, a patient who had dizziness and neck pain was adjusted with chiropractic adjustment and ultrasound therapy reported relief in this study.

McHenry CHIROPRACTIC CARE OF NECK PAIN

OrthoIllinois Chiropractic uses a unique form of chiropractic treatment in Cox® Technic. Cox® Technic is gentle distraction, no rapid motions or cracking. It is very well accepted. For patients who have spinal stenosis because of a disc herniation that also has arm pain, 15 treatments in 10 weeks relieved the pain, and the relief was present still at 2 years’ follow-up. (2) It’s not surprising that chiropractic patients are willing to pay $37.32 out of pocket to maintain their chronic neck pain and its reduction. (3) An Australian study examined older adults with neck pain who went to a chiropractor. One in 5 people over 70 years of age have neck pain. 45.5% of them has neck pain. 31.3% of them also said they had headache. 57.3% of chiropractors reported moderate relief for their patients with dizziness. Migraine sufferers needed many more visits than patients with headache to get relief.

Chiropractors like your very own chiropractor at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic appreciate evidence-based recommendations for patient care. Uncomplicated neck pain as well as such with headache or radicular symptoms, “best practice” recommendations based on “best available scientific evidence” are chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care. An early trial of 6 to 12 visits is practical with a shift from passive care to active care and self-care.
