Austin Chiropractor Talks ABout Cervical Pain

It is uncommon to find a single disk that seems to be painful in patients with neck pain. Two, three, or more can be found to be painful if all cervical disks are tested. It is difficult to determine whether multiple disks are truly multiple, simultaneous sources of neck pain under those conditions. It is also difficult to determine whether the patient is simply expressing hyperalgesia. The cervical disks are possible sources of neck pain are consistent with observations in normal volunteers that are shown by the clinical data. It has demonstrated by several studies that in many patients with headache, the C2-3 zygapophysial joint can be the source of pain. The headache in these patients is completely abolished by anesthetizing the joint. The same results following anesthetization of the lateral atlanto-axial joints are been reported by the other studies. car accident doctor austin
