The early signs of spine cancer:

There is a steady increase in the number of spine cancer patients in and around the country. There is also a spike in the number of people that have gone for spine cancer surgery in the last two years alone.

It is because of this glaring issue that doctors have advised to take note of two symptoms of spine cancer they might be ignoring; neck pain and back pain. Having both can be an indicator of spine cancer.

It is vital to pay a visit to a doctor most especially when you feel continuous dull aching pain at the back and the neck. Sometimes the severity of the pain might vary. Patients can feel a sharp pain at their back or neck. Some patients can even go as far as feel pains around their bodies, like in their legs or hands, and even paralysis.

Spine cancer occurs in the spine, and spreads to other parts of the body, leading to further complication. Sometimes the spine tumor spreads from other body parts, and it is referred to as metastatic spine tumor. People between the ages of 45 and above are more susceptible to it.

Detecting the presence of the tumor can be done either through an MRI scan, CT, or even X-rays. Radioisotope bone scan, as well as PET scan, can also be used to detect and diagnose the disease.

However, the glaring issue among Patients with is that they only visit health centers during the later stages of the disease. Such delay can be fatal, and as some of the leading doctors suggests, patients should try as much as possible to visit health centers ASAP.

Generally, back pain and neck pain can be remedied using the services of an expert chiropractor. If you ever have any back or neck pain, see a chiropractor. Chiropractors look at the entire body and not just a single part when they are identifying a problem. When it comes to your neck or pain, they don't just focus on the neck or alone, but they take a bird's-eye view of your entire spine. They do not only seek to treat; they are also advocates of prevention.
