Fernandina Beach Thoracic Spine Pain Helped by Chiropractic Care
For those of us struggling with thoracic (mid-spine) pain, chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy can be a good way to decrease symptoms and improve our quality of life. This type of care centers on biomechanical parameters to help enhance clinical outcomes, such as improving range of motion and lessening pain levels. Let's explore the ways in which this type of therapy can help Fernandina Beach thoracic spine pain sufferers find relief at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic.
WHAT IS THORACIC PAIN?
Thoracic pain is a kind of back pain that affects the middle part of your spine, known as the thoracic spine region. This area incorporates your chest wall, ribs, and lungs. The most common causes of thoracic pain include muscle strain or sprain, disc injury, spinal stenosis, pinched nerve in the spine, and/or facet joint dysfunction. Other contributors may include weak posture or an injury to the shoulder or arm that puts pressure on the nerves in this area. Amelia Chiropractic Clinic can figure this out via a complete examination of your spine.
HOW CHIROPRACTORS CAN HELP WITH THORACIC PAIN
Chiropractors like yours at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic are experienced in identifying and treating musculoskeletal conditions like thoracic pain. They use a hands-on approach to diagnose and treat these conditions using a variety of techniques such as manual adjustments, electrical stimulation therapy, exercises, and other modalities to decrease inflammation and enhance range of motion in involved areas. Via regular visits with their Fernandina Beach chiropractor for spinal manipulation and mobilization and treatment plans customized just for them, thoracic spine pain sufferers can find relief without resorting to taking medications or undergoing surgery.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION WORKS AND HELPS
Chiropractic spinal manipulation and mobilization is a type of hands-on treatment using precise force, pressure, and direction to relieve spinal pain. Cox® Technic is a very gentle form of treatment that is segment specific, stretches spinal tissues, and eases pain. The applied forces can be calculated precisely with proper equipment. Such precision benefits those with thoracic pain. Research has shown that this type of treatment can reduce stiffness in the spine and relax muscles to assist in the reduction of pain levels. One new study of patients with chronic thoracic pain documented that spinal manipulation decreased pain intensity, disability, spinal stiffness, and tenderness. (1) Another study stated that patients who were “responders” to spinal manipulation for non-specific thoracic spine pain relief were those whose expectations of improvement and comfort during spinal manipulation were positive. (2) So be positive! Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is here.
