Minster Thoracic Spine Pain Helped by Chiropractic Care
For those of us dealing with thoracic (mid-spine) pain, chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy can be a good approach to lessen symptoms and enhanced our quality of life. This type of treatment centers on biomechanical parameters to help enhance clinical outcomes, such as enhancing range of motion and decreasing pain levels. Let's explore the ways in which this type of therapy can help Minster thoracic spine pain sufferers find relief at Minster Chiropractic Center.
WHAT IS THORACIC PAIN?
Thoracic pain is a type of back pain that involves the middle part of your spine, known as the thoracic spine region. This area incorporates your chest wall, ribs, and lungs. The most common sources of thoracic pain include sprain or strain of muscle, injury to a disc, spinal stenosis, pinched spinal nerve, and/or facet joint dysfunction. Other contributors may include poor posture or an injury to the shoulder or arm that puts pressure on the nerves in this area. Minster Chiropractic Center can figure this out with a complete examination of your spine.
HOW CHIROPRACTORS CAN HELP WITH THORACIC PAIN
Chiropractors like yours at Minster Chiropractic Center are experienced in the identification and treatment of musculoskeletal issues like thoracic pain. They employ a hands-on approach in diagnosing and treating these conditions using a variety of techniques such as manual adjustments, electrical stimulation therapy, exercises, and other modalities to lessen inflammation and enhance range of motion in affected areas. Via regular visits with their Minster chiropractor for spinal manipulation and mobilization and treatment plans individualized for them, thoracic spine pain sufferers can get relief without having to take 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 measured 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 help relieve pain levels. One new study of patients with chronic thoracic pain found that spinal manipulation reduced pain intensity, disability, spinal stiffness, and tenderness. (1) Another report 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! Minster Chiropractic Center is ready to help.
