Dizziness can be distressing. Cross Chiropractic Center
welcomes neck pain patients with dizziness who
are looking for a cause and a solution. Sandy Springs chiropractic
care of dizziness begins with a careful exam
to set up a potentially helpful treatment plan
for dizziness linked to spinal issues like Sandy Springs
neck pain.
UPPER CERVICAL SPINE ISSUES AND DIZZINESS
The function and structure of
the upper cervical spine possibly will bring on dizziness. Issues with upper cervical spine ligaments and muscles may contribute to
cervicogenic dizziness. How? Such issues may cause
confusion for the proprioception system managed partly
by the vestibular nucleus. Changes in the
ligaments and muscles may trigger abnormal reactions that result
in dizziness. (1) Cross Chiropractic Center takes
care of many Sandy Springs neck pain patients with dizziness.
NECK PAIN AND CERVICOGENIC DIZZINESS IMPROVED WITH
CHIROPRATIC CARE
Cervicogenic dizziness is defined as dizziness
that occurs in patients with neck pain. No particular
test for cervicogenic dizziness is know,
but patients with neck pain due to a cervical spine pathology who
experience dizziness present to doctors for assistance.
What could the connection 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 such proprioception is altered
with neck pain, the dizziness may arise too. One
recent case report of a 24-year-old woman
with neck pain and cervicogenic dizziness reported improvement of both with
chiropractic care. (2) Cross Chiropractic Center starts chiropractic care
with an exam that influences the development of an alleviating
Sandy Springs chiropractic treatment.
DIZZINESS AND NECK PAIN RELIEF
Connecting imbalance
and dizziness with neck pain not associated with any other
disorders done through a thorough
examination is key to relieving care of cervicogenic
dizziness. Manual therapy and vestibular rehabilitation worked for patients in a new paper. (3) Dizziness
may come from damage to the somatosensory system. Upper cervical
spine manipulation was tested 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 improved function were also reported.
(4) The use of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management for cervical
spine pain issues like neck pain
is effective, gentle, and safe.
