Chiropractic Therapy For Cervical Problems

In a recent study, a 54-year old patient was recommended for chiropractic therapy for upper extremity pain and cervical disc surgery consideration. He was suffering from excessive pain in the right should, right proximal medial humeral, right ulnar groove and anterior forearm. The pain was severe enough to cause disruptions in daily life activities.

When examined by the chiropractor, it was found that the patient has no tenderness to the cervical musculature but there was impact on the forearm flexors. There were no signs of dural tension while pain was felt on the cervical spine extension. It was observed that a combination of disc bulge, facet hypertrophy and flaval ligament thickening leads to central spinal stenosis. With time, this may lead to degeneration of discs.

In the case of this patient, there was a posterior problem called ‘protrusion’ and it affected the longitudinal ligament. There was no non-contained extrusion and hence, the problem did not require any surgical correction. In view of the patient’s experience and MRI test reports, the doctors recommended chiropractic care as the optimal treatment for his cervical problem.

After several sessions, the patient is in better condition and still undergoing chiropractic care. His chances of having hemiangioma related to the cervical stenosis have also been minimized. Till date, the patient has lost 15 pounds, started with a weight training and walking regime and reported 70 percent freedom from pain. Chiropractic therapy has yielded good results in his case.
