Dizziness can be distressing. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa
welcomes neck pain patients with dizziness seeking a cause and a solution. West Des Moines chiropractic
care of dizziness starts with a careful examination
to establish a potentially relieving treatment plan
for dizziness linked to spinal issues like West Des Moines
neck pain.
UPPER CERVICAL SPINE ISSUES AND DIZZINESS
The structure and function of
the upper cervical spine may perhaps bring on dizziness. Issues with upper cervical spine ligaments and muscles may impact
cervicogenic dizziness. How? Such issues may cause
confusion for the proprioception system controlled in part
by the vestibular nucleus. Alterations in the
ligaments and muscles may spark abnormal reactions that lead to dizziness. (1) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa invites West Des Moines neck pain patients with dizziness.
NECK PAIN AND CERVICOGENIC DIZZINESS IMPROVED WITH
CHIROPRATIC CARE
Cervicogenic dizziness is defined as dizziness
that occurs in patients with neck pain. No specific
assessment for cervicogenic dizziness is know,
but patients with neck pain because of a cervical spine pathology who
have dizziness visit doctors for help.
What could the link be? Cervical muscles connect and
interact with the vestibular, visual, and higher centers to produce
useful proprioception, the recognition of body
position and movement. When this proprioception is altered
with neck pain, the dizziness may happen too. One
recent case report of a 24-year-old woman
with cervicogenic dizziness
and neck pain described improvement of both with
chiropractic care. (2) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa starts chiropractic care
with an exam that leads to an alleviating
West Des Moines chiropractic treatment.
DIZZINESS AND NECK PAIN RELIEF
Connecting imbalance
and dizziness with neck pain not associated with any other
disorders revealed via a thorough
examination is key to relieving care of cervicogenic
dizziness. Manual therapy and vestibular rehabilitation succeeded in
relieving pain for patients in a new paper. (3) Dizziness
may come from damage to the somatosensory system. Upper cervical
spine manipulation was tested in patients with cervicogenic
dizziness. In addition to a reduction in the intensity of the dizziness
and pain, an improvement in the range of motion toward the more
restricted side and better function were also reported.
(4) The use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management for cervical
spine pain issues like neck pain
is effective, gentle, and safe.
