La Grande Dizziness and Neck Pain Care at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC
Dizziness is a problem. Alone, dizziness can be frustrating, but it can also affect balance and contribute to falls. Dizziness with related cervical spine disc degeneration can be a problem for older folks. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC shares new research about chronic neck pain and its link to dizziness as well as the role La Grande chiropractic care contributes in relieving neck pain and oftentimes related dizziness.
CERVICAL SPINE DISC DEGENERATION AND DIZZINESS
Patients with chronic neck pain due to cervical degenerative disease often experience dizziness as well as neck pain. Many already-published studies, both clinical and basic science, describe the relationship of cervical disc degeneration and dizziness. A new study indicated that cervicogenic general dizziness was the diagnosis for 89% of such patients. Inappropriate neck postures over long time periods may contribute when there is existing degenerative cervical disc disease. Men and women have separate prompts for their dizziness. For example, farming, gardening, and weeding may trigger general dizziness, particularly in older women. (1) Surgeons reporting on a new surgical approach to relieving chronic neck pain pointed out that current clinical and immunohistochemical studies strongly suggested that chronic neck pain and intractable dizziness came from degenerated cervical spine discs. The dizziness ensued with only cervical disc degeneration alone without cervical radiculopathy or myelopathy. (2) Such cervical spine degenerative disc disease also has been found to be accompanied by inflammation, particularly inflammatory cytokines that affect mechanoreceptors like the Ruffini corpuscles in degenerated discs resulting in dizziness. The good news: a majority of patients with cervical disc disease and related dizziness report that conservative treatment is effective for them. (3) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is the home for conservative chiropractic care of La Grande neck pain and degenerated cervical discs.
CHIROPRACTIC CONSERVATIVE CARE FOR DIZZINESS
An Australian study of chiropractic care of neck pain patients who also had dizziness revealed that chiropractic is often used by these patients to manage their neck pain. One in five people over age 70 years suffered with neck pain. 57.3% of chiropractors stated that the neck pain and associated dizziness was moderately responsive to their chiropractic conservative care.
