Burlington and Hamilton Dizziness and Neck Pain Care at Spinal Care Clinic

Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be frustrating, but it can also alter balance and contribute to falls. Dizziness with related cervical spine disc degeneration can be a problem for older folks. Spinal Care Clinic shares new research about chronic neck pain and its affiliation to dizziness as well as the role Burlington and Hamilton chiropractic care contributes 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 have dizziness as well as neck pain. Many existing 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 be a factor when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have separate prompts for their dizziness. For example, farming, gardening, and weeding may initiate 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 ensued 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 affect mechanoreceptors like the Ruffini corpuscles in degenerated discs resulting in dizziness. The good news: a majority of cervical spine disc disease patients and related dizziness report that conservative treatment is effective for them. (3) Spinal Care Clinic is the clinic for conservative chiropractic care of Burlington and Hamilton neck pain and degenerated cervical discs.

CHIROPRACTIC CONSERVATIVE CARE FOR DIZZINESS

An Australian study of chiropractic care of neck pain patients who also reported dizziness revealed that chiropractic is frequently utilized by these patients to manage 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) Spinal Care Clinic uses the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in treating cervical disc degeneration and its related Burlington and Hamilton neck pain.
