Chiropractic Oak Ridge TN Chiropractic Services

If you've considered having a chiropractic adjustment because of problems with your neck, your Oak Ridge TN chiropractor might diagnose you with loss of cervical lordosis. The cervical region of your spine is the upper spine. Normally, the cervical region has a slight C-shaped curvature. This natural curvature is necessary for the proper stabilization of the head and spine. Loss of cervical lordosis refers to a lack of curvature or even a reversal of the normal curvature, which can have dire consequences for your spine health.


What Are the Consequences of Loss of Cervical Lordosis in Oak Ridge TN?

In fact, as your chiropractor can advise you, loss of cervical lordosis may even accelerate the process of degeneration when it is caused by a traumatic injury. If cervical disc degeneration develops, patients can experience other symptoms in addition to neck pain and stiffness. These symptoms may include a "pins and needles" sensation or tingling in the hands and fingers. This results from the compression of the cervical vertebrae. Other complications can include increased tension in the spinal cord and the carotid blood vessels, which can lead to dizziness, confusion, headaches, and tinnitus due to improper circulation. Fortunately, chiropractic care in Oak Ridge, TN can help patients recover from loss of cervical lordosis and avoid these complications.
