Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be upsetting,
but it can also affect balance and contribute to falls.
Dizziness with related cervical spine disc degeneration can be
a problem for older folks. Back And Neck Care Center shares
new research about chronic neck pain and its link
to dizziness as well as the role Severna Park chiropractic care plays
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 already-published studies, both clinical and
basic science, describe the relationship of cervical
disc degeneration and dizziness. A recent study indicated that cervicogenic general dizziness was the diagnosis
for 89% of such patients. Inappropriate neck postures
over long periods of time may contribute
when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have separate
triggers for their dizziness. For example, farming, gardening, and
weeding may trigger general dizziness, particularly
in women who are older. (1) Surgeons reporting on a new
surgical approach to relieving chronic neck pain explained
that current clinical and immunohistochemical studies strongly suggested
that chronic neck pain and intractable dizziness arose from degenerated
cervical spine discs. The dizziness occurred with only
cervical disc degeneration alone without cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy.
(2) Such degenerative disc disease
in the neck also has been found to be accompanied by inflammation, particularly
inflammatory cytokines that trigger mechanoreceptors like the
Ruffini corpuscles in degenerated discs resulting in
dizziness. The good news: a majority of cervical spine disc disease patients and associated dizziness report
that conservative treatment is effective for them. (3) Back And Neck Care Center is the clinic for
conservative chiropractic care of Severna Park neck pain and degenerated
cervical discs.
CHIROPRACTIC CONSERVATIVE CARE FOR
DIZZINESS
An Australian study of chiropractic care
of neck pain patients who also had dizziness revealed
that chiropractic is often 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 related dizziness was moderately
responsive to their chiropractic conservative care. (4) Back And Neck Care Center utilizes
the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration
and its related Severna Park neck pain.
