Researching Chiropractic:
Radiculopathy, Migraines and Neck Pain
Chiropractic clinical case histories have been a regular feature of our patient newsletter since its inception. There seems to be no limit to the health problems that respond positively to chiropractic care. How many people suffering, reliant on medication and drugs, and facing a life of limitation could be helped by chiropractic care?
Probably most of them.
A 42-year-old male presented with chronic migraines and neck pain, conditions he associated with poor posture. After undergoing chiropractic care, he reported significant improvements in both migraine frequency and neck discomfort. The treatment focused on spinal adjustments aimed at correcting postural misalignments, particularly forward head posture, which is often linked to chronic headaches. This case underscores the potential effectiveness of chiropractic interventions in addressing posture-related headache disorders. (4)
Cervical Radiculopathy: A 61-year-old man with right-sided neck pain and arm numbness was diagnosed with cervical radiculopathy, confirmed by MRI showing a C5-C6 disc herniation. He received chiropractic care, including cervical adjustments and therapeutic exercises, over a 12-week period. The treatment resulted in significant pain relief, improved mobility, and restored limb strength, demonstrating the effectiveness of chiropractic care in managing cervical radiculopathy. (5)
