About Easley Klippel Feil Syndrome and Easley Chiropractic
the congenital (born with it) fusion of vertebrae into bony blocks that restrict movement of the neck and spine and possibly progress later in life.
Common symptoms of Klippel Feil are a short neck, low hairline at the back of the head, and limited motion of the upper spine.
A thorough, clinical examination that may include imaging is important to your recovery.
In office, Young Chiropractic uses Cox Technic Flexion Distraction and Decompression to widen the canal space, drop the intradiscal pressure and increase the disc height to relieve pain.
Very gently and after careful tolerance testing, Cox Technic is utilized in treating the adjacent discs and joints to the fused segments. This regains and maintains mobility with the goal of reducing the incidence of degeneration at these adjacent levels to the fusion.
At Home Care
At home you will want to avoid sleeping on your stomach, wear a neck brace if recommended, take nutritional supplements that help rebuild disc cartilage, exercise, and modify your daily activities as needed. You will want to work closely with your doctor to ensure your treatment is properly administered and your return to maximum health is maximized.
