Questioni recently had an mri..drs were looking for what was causing chorea issues..they found none...however they did find multilevel disc osteophyte complexes at c4-c5, c5-c6, c6-c7 and c7-t1, most prominent at c5-c6, where there is moderate narrowing of the central canal..
ok my question is? can this cause my chorea like symptoms?
AnswerIt depends where your involuntary movements are. If they are in your arms, hands, shoulders, neck then there is a possibility they are connected. The nerves in the neck and upper back control all muscles in the shoulders, arms and hands.
There's a long history I still do not have. Like; Your age, how long have you had chorea? Any trauma in your life?
That being said, chiropractors remove pressure off spinal nerves. Given your diagnosis of osteophyte formation and deg. Disc, gentle chiropractic care is very safe and effective. Another thing you Can try is cold laser therapy (LLLT).
