West Des Moines Dizziness and Neck Pain Care at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa
Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be frustrating, but it can also affect balance and lead to falls. Dizziness with related cervical spine disc degeneration can be a problem for folks of an older age. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa presents new research about chronic neck pain and its relationship to dizziness as well as the role West Des Moines chiropractic care contributes 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 existing 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. Improper neck postures over long periods of time may be a factor when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have different prompts for their dizziness. For example, farming, gardening, and weeding may trigger general dizziness, especially in older women. (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 came from degenerated cervical spine discs. The dizziness happened 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 leading to dizziness. The good news: a majority of patients with cervical disc disease and related dizziness find conservative treatment to be effective for them. (3) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is the clinic for conservative chiropractic care of West Des Moines neck pain and degenerated cervical discs.
CHIROPRACTIC CONSERVATIVE CARE FOR DIZZINESS
An Australian study of chiropractic care of neck pain patients who also reported dizziness revealed that chiropractic is often used by these patients to manage their neck pain. One in five people over age 70 years experienced neck pain. 57.3% of chiropractors said that the neck pain and related dizziness was moderately responsive to their chiropractic conservative care.
