Dizziness can be troubling. The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR
often sees neck pain patients with dizziness seeking a cause and a solution. Colorado Springs chiropractic
care of dizziness starts with a thorough examination
to establish a potentially helpful treatment plan
for dizziness associated with spinal issues like Colorado Springs
neck pain.
UPPER CERVICAL SPINE ISSUES AND DIZZINESS
The structure and function of
the upper cervical spine possibly will contribute
to dizziness. Problems with upper cervical spine muscles and
ligaments may contribute to
cervicogenic dizziness. How? Such problems may cause
confusion for the proprioception system managed partly
by the vestibular nucleus. Alterations in the
ligaments and muscles may trigger abnormal reactions that result
in dizziness. (1) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR takes
care of many Colorado Springs neck pain patients with dizziness.
NECK PAIN AND CERVICOGENIC DIZZINESS IMPROVED WITH
CHIROPRATIC CARE
Cervicogenic dizziness is defined as dizziness
that happens in patients with neck pain. No particular
test for cervicogenic dizziness is know,
but patients with neck pain because of a cervical spine pathology who
experience dizziness visit doctors for help.
What could the link be? Cervical muscles connect and
interact with the vestibular, visual, and higher centers to produce
effective proprioception, the awareness of body
position and movement. When this proprioception is altered
with neck pain, the dizziness may arise as well. One
recent case report of a 24-year-old woman
with cervicogenic dizziness
and neck pain described improvement of both with
chiropractic care. (2) The Chiropractic TRUhealthDR starts chiropractic care
with an exam that leads to a relieving
Colorado Springs 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 important to relieving care of cervicogenic
dizziness. Manual therapy and vestibular rehabilitation succeeded in
relieving pain for patients in a new report. (3) Dizziness
may come from damage to the somatosensory system. Upper cervical
spine manipulation was analyzed in patients with cervicogenic
dizziness. In addition to a reduction in the intensity of the dizziness
and pain, an increase in the range of motion toward the more
restricted side and better function were also noted.
(4) The use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management for cervical
spine pain issues like neck pain
is gentle, safe, and effective.
