THORACIC MANIPULATION TO BETTER CERVICAL SPINE FUNCTION
Neck pain and other cervical spine conditions restrict cervical spine motion. Thoracic spine spinal manipulation improved neck function for patients with chronic or recurrent neck or shoulder pain with or without arm pain who had experienced such pain for at least 3 months. Thoracic spine manipulation efficiently enhanced flexion and rotation of the cervical region. (1) Another study used thoracic spine manipulation to reduce neck pain and enhance cervical spine range of motion in patients with mechanical neck pain and cervicothoracic junction dysfunction. It worked! (2) Sometimes it only needs one treatment. In this study, one thoracic manipulation session similarly provided pain relief at immediate-term follow-up for chronic neck pain patients as thoracic mobilization. (3) Your Georgetown chiropractor at Dr. Butwell is well-trained in providing thoracic spine manipulation that not only feels great but is quite relieving.
CHIROPRACTIC MANIPLULATION TO RELIEVE HEADACHE AND NECK PAIN
Patients with neck pain and cervical spine motion restriction may come with other conditions that need relief, too. A case report of a female patient experiencing neurofibromatosis (type 1) along with neck, scapula, lumbar and temporomandibular discomfort and headache describes relief with chiropractic care. Cervical spine flexion distraction spinal manipulation in conjunction with myofascial release, ergonomic patient education, and active care recommendations reduced neck pain and headache frequency. Her chronic tightness and pain in the cervicothoracic regions and lumbar spine due to removal of the neurofibroma were relieved as well.
