Pensacola Dizziness and Neck Pain Care at Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center

Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be upsetting, but it can also alter balance and contribute to falls. Dizziness with associated cervical spine disc degeneration can be a problem for folks of an older age. Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center presents new research about chronic neck pain and its link to dizziness as well as the role Pensacola chiropractic care plays in neck pain relief and frequently related dizziness.

CERVICAL SPINE DISC DEGENERATION AND DIZZINESS

Patients with chronic neck pain due to cervical degenerative disease often experience dizziness as well as neck pain. Many existing studies, both clinical and basic science, detail the connection of cervical disc degeneration and dizziness. A new study pointed out that cervicogenic general dizziness was the diagnosis for 89% of these patients. Inappropriate neck postures over long periods of time may be a factor when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have different triggers 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 pointed out 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 cervical spine degenerative disc disease also has been found to be accompanied by inflammation, particularly inflammatory cytokines that trigger mechanoreceptors like the Ruffini corpuscles in degenerated discs resulting in dizziness. The good news: a majority of patients with cervical disc disease and associated dizziness report that conservative treatment is effective for them. (3) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center is the place for conservative chiropractic care of Pensacola neck pain and degenerated cervical discs.

CHIROPRACTIC CONSERVATIVE CARE FOR DIZZINESS

An Australian study of chiropractic care of neck pain patients who also experienced dizziness revealed that chiropractic is often utilized by these patients to handle their neck pain. One in five people over age 70 years experienced neck pain. 57.3% of chiropractors reported that the neck pain and related dizziness was moderately responsive to their chiropractic conservative care. (4) Pensacola Spinal Rehab Center uses the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration and its related Pensacola neck pain.
