Vancouver Dizziness and Neck Pain Care at Vancouver Disc Centers

Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be upsetting, but it can also alter balance and contribute to falls. Dizziness with related cervical spine disc degeneration can be a problem for folks of an older age. Vancouver Disc Centers shares new research about chronic neck pain and its relationship to dizziness as well as the role Vancouver chiropractic care plays in neck pain relief and oftentimes 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 already-published studies, both clinical and basic science, detail the connection of cervical disc degeneration and dizziness. A recent study indicated that cervicogenic general dizziness was diagnosed in 89% of such patients. Improper neck postures over long periods of time may contribute when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have separate triggers for their dizziness. For example, farming, gardening, and weeding may initiate general dizziness, particularly 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 arose from degenerated cervical spine discs. The dizziness ensued with only cervical disc degeneration alone without cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy. (2) Such degenerative disc disease in the neck 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 cervical spine disc disease patients and associated dizziness find conservative treatment to be effective for them. (3) Vancouver Disc Centers is the home for conservative chiropractic care of Vancouver 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 frequently used 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 associated dizziness was moderately responsive to their chiropractic conservative care. (4) Vancouver Disc Centers uses the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration and its related Vancouver neck pain.
