Manchester Thoracic Spine Pain Helped by Chiropractic Care
For those of us struggling with thoracic (mid-spine) pain, chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy can be a good approach to reduce symptoms and enhanced our quality of life. This type of care centers on biomechanical parameters to help enhance clinical outcomes, such as enhancing range of motion and reducing pain levels. Let's explore the ways in which this type of therapy can help Manchester thoracic spine pain sufferers find relief at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries.
WHAT IS THORACIC PAIN?
Thoracic pain is a kind of back pain that impacts the mid section of your spine, called the thoracic spine region. This area comprises your chest wall, ribs, and lungs. The most common sources of thoracic pain involve muscle strain or sprain, disc injury, spinal stenosis, compressed nerve in the spine, and/or facet joint dysfunction. Other contributing issues may include bad posture or an injury to the shoulder or arm that puts pressure on the nerves in this area. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries can figure this out with a thorough examination of your spine.
HOW CHIROPRACTORS CAN HELP WITH THORACIC PAIN
Chiropractors like yours at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries are experienced in identifying and treating musculoskeletal conditions like thoracic pain. They employ a hands-on approach in diagnosing and treating these conditions using various techniques such as manual adjustments, electrical stimulation therapy, exercises, and other modalities to lessen inflammation and enhance range of motion in affected areas. Through regular visits with their Manchester chiropractor for spinal manipulation and mobilization and treatment plans customized just for them, thoracic spine pain sufferers can get relief without resorting to taking medications or having to undergo 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 one very gentle type 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 decrease stiffness in the spine and relax muscles to assist in the reduction of 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 noted 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.
