December 2025 Healthy News from Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office: Better Sleep and Back Pain Relief

WHY DO BACK PAIN SUFFERERS KEEP CHOOSING CHIROPRACTIC CARE?

Surveys. Reviews. Testimonials. They’re everywhere. But here is what really matters: how chiropractic care transforms YOUR life! A recent Danish survey had 97% of patients state ‘very high’ or ‘high’ degree of overall satisfaction with care. There's a reason chiropractic patients are among the most loyal in healthcare—and it's not just about feeling better in the moment. Your own journey, honest conversations about your treatment plan, thorough evaluation of your condition, and proven results that give you confidence in your progress. (1) This high satisfaction appears well-founded given emerging evidence supporting the physiological benefits of spinal manipulation. Amjad et al. (2) reported that just 3 months of chiropractic adjustments triggered measurable changes in blood biomarkers—showing real improvements in how your brain adapts, how your body manages inflammation, and how you handle stress—offering concrete biological proof that your body is responding positively to care. Additionally, Nyirö et al. (3) found that spinal manipulation enhances the body's proprioception—basically, how well your spine "knows where it is" in space—and directly linked these improvements to pain relief. Together, these studies suggest that patient satisfaction with chiropractic care is supported by demonstrable biological mechanisms, including favorable changes in blood markers and enhanced sensory function that correlate with reduced pain. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is here to help our patients!

TIP OF THE MONTH: Better Sleep, Less Back Pain; Less Back Pain, Better Sleep

Back pain and sleepless nights feed off each other in a frustrating loop—your aching back keeps you awake at night, and then your exhaustion makes every twinge feel more intense the next day. Recent research documents this frustrating reality: Lee et al. found that back pain actually paves the way to sleep problems in older men, suggesting that dealing with the pain first could be the secret to stopping this downward spiral. (4) Meanwhile, Rahbar et al. discovered a strong association between chronic back problems and poor sleep quality in older adults, with those dealing with persistent back pain significantly more likely to report sleep disturbances. (5) Here's the encouraging news for our chiropractic patients at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office: by effectively managing back pain via spinal adjustments and care, you're doing double duty—easing your back pain while opening the door to deeper, more rejuvenating sleep. So if counting sheep isn't cutting it, it might be time to focus on your spine instead. Better back health could be your ticket to finally sleeping through the night.
