Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. Diagnoses Underlying Causes of Neck Pain and Arm Pain and Delivers Pain Relieving Care

“What’s this, doc?” Such a question is always welcome at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.. Sometimes there is a clear answer, and sometimes there is not. It’s a great discussion starter though. These inquiries typically come up at some point in the exam but occasionally surface during a chiropractic office visit. They always tell something helpful toward pain relief that both your Auburn chiropractor wants for you and you want for yourself. Curious conditions may reveal themselves via curious symptoms like this case of cervical spine neck pain and a case of shingles.

CHIROPRACTIC EXAM AND TREATMENT

Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. relies on the clinical exam more than anything else. Your Auburn chiropractor listens first, tests second, and considers imaging in consideration of the first two. Each adds a piece of info to the diagnostic puzzle. In a newly published chiropractic case report, a piece of the puzzle arose 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 guided him to his primary care doctor. He received an influenza and pneumococcal vaccine. The coughing triggered some neck pain that led this 43 year old man 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 lead to a diagnosis of a C5-6 disc herniation, the most common cervical disc herniation level. Soon after, he noticed a rash on his left arm that his medical consultant identified as herpes zoster shingles. It was too late for an antiviral, so he took ibuprofen for the shingles pain. He underwent 5 cervical spine treatments following the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management cervical spine protocols in 5 weeks to resolve the arm pain, decrease the arm rash, and reduce the neck pain by 50%. Another 4 treatments in 3 months resulted in 80% decreased neck pain, complete resolution of left arm pain, and faint shingles rash. The patient felt he was back to normal. (1) Talk about unusual!
