Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc Diagnoses Underlying Causes of Neck Pain and Arm Pain and Delivers Pain Relieving Care
“What is this, doc?” Such a question is always welcome at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc. Sometimes there is a clear answer, and sometimes there is not. It’s a great starting point though. These questions usually come up in the course of the examination but sometimes surface during a chiropractic office visit. They most times reveal something useful toward pain relief that both your Fort Wayne chiropractor wants for you and you want for yourself. Interesting conditions may present themselves via curious symptoms like this case of cervical spine neck pain and a case of shingles.
CHIROPRACTIC EXAM AND TREATMENT
Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc depends on the clinical exam more than anything else. Your Fort Wayne chiropractor listens first, tests second, and considers imaging in light of the first two. Each provides a piece of information to the diagnostic puzzle. In a recent chiropractic case report, a part of the puzzle came from a peculiar rash on a patient’s arm during his care for neck and arm pain. His story involves coughing, fatigue, and congestion that led him to his primary care doctor. He received an influenza and pneumococcal vaccine. The coughing prompted some neck pain that took this 43 year old male to his chiropractor for the neck pain that was explained as constant, sharp neck pain on the left with an aching, tingling sensation extending into his left arm (radiculopathy) particularly into his left lateral arm, forearm, thumb and index finger. Clinical symptoms indicated a diagnosis of a C5-6 disc herniation, the most common cervical disc herniation level. Soon after, he noted a rash on his left arm that his medical doctor diagnosed as herpes zoster shingles. Since it was too late to take an antiviral he took ibuprofen for the pain related to shingles. He experienced 5 cervical spine treatments following the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management cervical spine protocols in 5 weeks to ease and get rid of the arm pain, decrease the arm rash, and reduce the neck pain by 50%. Another 4 treatments over 12 weeks resulted in 80% decreased neck pain, complete resolution of left arm pain, and faint shingles rash. The patient expressed that he was back to normal.
