For those of us struggling with thoracic (mid-spine)
pain, chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy can be an effective way
to lessen symptoms and enhanced our quality
of life. This type of care focuses 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 Toronto
thoracic spine pain sufferers find relief at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre.
WHAT IS THORACIC PAIN?
Thoracic pain is a type of back pain that impacts
the mid section of your spine, known as
the thoracic spine region. This area comprises your chest
wall, ribs, and lungs. The most common sources of thoracic pain include
muscle strain or sprain, disc
injury, spinal stenosis, compressed spinal nerve, and/or facet joint dysfunction. Other contributors may include weak posture or an injury to the
shoulder or arm that puts pressure on the nerves in this area.
Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre can figure this out via a thorough
examination of your spine.
HOW CHIROPRACTORS CAN HELP WITH THORACIC PAIN
Chiropractors like yours at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre are experienced in identifying
and treating musculoskeletal conditions like thoracic pain.
They use 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 lower inflammation and enhance
range of motion in affected areas. Through regular
visits with their Toronto chiropractor for spinal manipulation and mobilization
and treatment plans tailored
specifically for them, patients
suffering from thoracic pain can find relief without having to
take medications or undergoing
surgery.
HOW CHIROPRACTIC SPINAL MANIPULATION WORKS AND HELPS
Chiropractic spinal manipulation and mobilization is a form
of hands-on treatment using 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 specifically
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 documented 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! Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre
is ready to help.
