Groton Thoracic Spine Pain Helped by Chiropractic Care
For those of us dealing with thoracic (mid-spine) pain, chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy can be a good way to decrease symptoms and enhanced our quality of life. This type of treatment focuses on biomechanical parameters to help improve clinical outcomes, such as increasing range of motion and lessening pain levels. Let's explore the ways in which this type of therapy can help Groton thoracic spine pain patients find relief at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office.
WHAT IS THORACIC PAIN?
Thoracic pain is a type of back pain that impacts the mid section of your spine, called the thoracic spine region. This area includes your chest wall, ribs, and lungs. The most common sources of thoracic pain involve sprain or strain of muscle, injury to a disc, spinal stenosis, pinched spinal nerve, and/or facet joint dysfunction. Other causes may include weak posture or an injury to the shoulder or arm that involves pressure on the nerves in this area. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office can figure this out via a complete examination of your spine.
HOW CHIROPRACTORS CAN HELP WITH THORACIC PAIN
Chiropractors like yours at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office are experienced in identifying and treating musculoskeletal issues like thoracic pain. They depend on a hands-on approach to diagnose and treat these conditions using various techniques such as manual adjustments, electrical stimulation therapy, exercises, and other modalities to reduce inflammation and enhance range of motion in involved areas. Through regular visits with their Groton chiropractor for spinal manipulation and mobilization and treatment plans personalized for them, patients suffering from thoracic pain can get relief without having to take medications or undergoing surgery.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION WORKS AND HELPS
Chiropractic spinal manipulation and mobilization is a form of hands-on treatment using precise force, pressure, and direction to relieve spinal pain. Cox® Technic is one 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 new study of patients with chronic thoracic pain documented 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! Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is ready to help.
