THORACIC MANIPULATION TO BETTER CERVICAL SPINE FUNCTION

Neck pain and other cervical spine conditions restrict motion in the neck. 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 a minimum of 3 months. Thoracic spine manipulation effectively increased flexion and rotation of the cervical region. (1) Another study used thoracic spine manipulation to decrease neck pain and enhance cervical spine range of motion in patients with mechanical neck pain and cervicothoracic junction dysfunction. It succeeded! (2) Sometimes it only needs one treatment. In this report, one thoracic manipulation session similarly delivered pain relief at immediate-term follow-up for chronic neck pain patients as thoracic mobilization. (3) Your Groton chiropractor at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is experienced in providing thoracic spine manipulation that not only feels great but is quite alleviating.

CHIROPRACTIC MANIPLULATION TO RELIEVE HEADACHE AND NECK PAIN

Patients with neck pain and cervical spine motion limitation may come with other conditions that need relief, too. A case report of a female patient suffering with neurofibromatosis (type 1) along with neck, scapula, lumbar and temporomandibular pain 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 lessened neck pain and headache frequency. The chronic tightness and pain in the cervicothoracic regions and lumbar spine where the neurofibroma had been removed were relieved as well. (4) Your Groton chiropractor makes sure to tackle the primary and any contributing factors to your spine pain condition. Pain relief is the aim!
