Most Chiropractic Clinic Diagnoses Underlying Causes of Neck Pain and Arm Pain and Delivers Pain Relieving Care
“What’s this, doc?” Such a question is always welcome at Most Chiropractic Clinic. Sometimes there is a clear answer, and sometimes there is not. It’s a great starting point though. These questions usually occur at some point in the exam but sometimes surface during a chiropractic treatment visit. They always disclose something useful toward pain relief that both your Murfreesboro chiropractor wants for you and you want for yourself. Curious conditions may show themselves via curious symptoms like this case of cervical spine neck pain with a case of shingles.
CHIROPRACTIC EXAM AND TREATMENT
Most Chiropractic Clinic depends on the clinical exam more than anything else. Your Murfreesboro chiropractor listens first, tests second, and considers imaging in light of the first two. Each adds a piece of information to the diagnostic puzzle. In a recent chiropractic case report, a part of the puzzle came from a peculiar rash on a patient’s arm during his care for neck and arm pain. His story entails coughing, fatigue, and congestion that guided him to his primary care doctor. He received an influenza and pneumococcal vaccine. The coughing triggered some neck pain that led this 43 year old man to his chiropractor for the neck pain that was described as constant, sharp neck pain on the left with an aching, tingling sensation extending into his left arm (radiculopathy) particularly into his left lateral arm, forearm, thumb and index finger. Clinical symptoms lead to a diagnosis of a C5-6 disc herniation, a very common cervical disc herniation level. Later on, he noticed a rash on his left arm that his medical consultant diagnosed as herpes zoster shingles. It was too late for an antiviral, so he took ibuprofen for the shingles pain. He experienced 5 cervical spine treatments following the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management cervical spine protocols in 5 weeks to ease and get rid of the arm pain, reduce the arm rash, and lessen the neck pain by 50%. Another 4 treatments over 12 weeks brought about 80% less neck pain, complete resolution of left arm pain, and faint shingles rash. The patient felt he was back to normal. (1) Talk about unusual!
