Murfreesboro Thoracic Spine Pain Helped by Chiropractic Care
For those of us struggling with thoracic (mid-spine) pain, chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy can be an effective way to decrease symptoms and improve our quality of life. This type of treatment focuses on biomechanical parameters to help enhance clinical outcomes, such as increasing range of motion and decreasing pain levels. Let's explore the ways in which this type of therapy can help Murfreesboro thoracic spine pain sufferers find relief at Most Chiropractic Clinic.
WHAT IS THORACIC PAIN?
Thoracic pain is a kind of back pain that involves the middle part of your spine, called the thoracic spine region. This area incorporates your chest wall, ribs, and lungs. The most common causes 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 weak posture or an injury to the shoulder or arm that involves pressure on the nerves in this area. Most Chiropractic Clinic can figure this out via a thorough examination of your spine.
HOW CHIROPRACTORS CAN HELP WITH THORACIC PAIN
Chiropractors like yours at Most Chiropractic Clinic are experienced in the identification and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions like thoracic pain. They depend on a hands-on approach to diagnose and treat these conditions using a variety of techniques such as manual adjustments, electrical stimulation therapy, exercises, and other modalities to reduce inflammation and improve range of motion in involved areas. Via regular visits with their Murfreesboro chiropractor for spinal manipulation and mobilization and treatment plans personalized for them, patients suffering from thoracic pain can find relief without having to take medications or having to undergo surgery.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION WORKS AND HELPS
Chiropractic spinal manipulation and mobilization is a form of hands-on treatment that uses precise force, pressure, and direction to relieve spinal pain. Cox® Technic is one 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 assist in the reduction of pain levels. One new study of patients with chronic thoracic pain documented that spinal manipulation reduced pain intensity, disability, spinal stiffness, and tenderness. (1) Another study 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. (2) So come for thoracic spine treatment with a positive attitude! Most Chiropractic Clinic is here.
