THORACIC MANIPULATION TO BETTER CERVICAL SPINE
FUNCTION
Neck pain and other cervical spine conditions restrict
cervical spine motion. 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 at least 3 months. Thoracic
spine manipulation effectively increased
flexion and rotation of the cervical region. (1) Another study used thoracic
spine manipulation to reduce 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 visit comparably delivered
pain relief at immediate-term follow-up for chronic neck pain patients as
thoracic mobilization. (3) Your West Des Moines chiropractor at Executive Chiropractic of Iowa

and headache explains relief with chiropractic care. Cervical
spine flexion distraction spinal manipulation in conjunction with
