Ashburn and Herndon Thoracic Spine Pain Helped by Chiropractic Care
For those of us dealing with thoracic (mid-spine) pain, chiropractic spinal manipulation therapy can be an effective approach to lessen symptoms and enhanced our quality of life. This type of care centers on biomechanical parameters to help enhance clinical outcomes, such as increasing range of motion and lessening pain levels. Let's explore the ways in which this type of therapy can help Ashburn and Herndon thoracic spine pain sufferers find relief at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn.
WHAT IS THORACIC PAIN?
Thoracic pain is a kind of back pain that impacts the middle section of your spine, known as the thoracic spine region. This area incorporates your chest wall, ribs, and lungs. The most common causes of thoracic pain involve muscle strain or sprain, disc injury, spinal stenosis, compressed nerve in the spine, and/or facet joint dysfunction. Other causes may include poor posture or an injury to the shoulder or arm that puts pressure on the nerves in this area. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn can figure this out via a complete examination of your spine.
HOW CHIROPRACTORS CAN HELP WITH THORACIC PAIN
Chiropractors like yours at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn are experienced in the identification and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions 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. Through regular visits with their Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor for spinal manipulation and mobilization and treatment plans personalized for them, patients suffering from thoracic pain can find 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 that uses precise force, pressure, and direction to relieve spinal pain. Cox® Technic is a 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 help relieve pain levels. One recent study of patients with chronic thoracic pain explained 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. (2) So come for thoracic spine treatment with a positive attitude! Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is ready to help.
