To drinchiropractic, youre a chiropractor? cause i`m thinking about going to a chiro but im not sure if i should wait until i see the neurologist first.
how would a chiro go about correcting the symptoms like ive got? and do they need to see my x-rays and scans first?
thanks for any info.
I would recommned you to see a Chiropractor. I have seen many good results in patients with the same condition you are describing. Chiropractic is a natural way to correct this type of conditions, not just to mask the symptoms and also it's a good way to keep your body healthy. If you haven't heard about Chirorpactic before, I invite you to check it out. If you have any question feel free to ask me.
thnx very much for the info.
There may not be structural cervical disease but there may be a functional entrapment of the nerve root in particular positions.
An MRI is a fixed scan and can miss this - flexion/extension plain films of the neck may provide more info.
There is probably a lot of muscle spasm in your neck - as the neck is inexplcibaly tied to the vestibular balance system, this commonly causes dizziness 'cervicogenic dizziness', this also causes loss of the normal neck posture and curvature 'lordosis'
You may need measures to reduce neck spasticity - neck physical therapy, muscle relaxants, massage, and avoid those positions that cause your symptoms.
Good luck
just have to add that i also get an electric jolt feeling in my hands whenever i bump the back of my hand on something. i`m not sure if thats normal or not.
sorry for making yet another post but its worth pointing out that the pins and needles sensation when i turn my head to the side is only really in my thumb and index finger, not my entire hand. thnx
