Groton Chiropractic Healthy News from Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office July 2017

Manual therapy spinal mobilization is preferred over physiotherapy by chronic back pain patients with disc degeneration for back pain intensity reduction and disability. (1) Not surprising to Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office at all! The hands-on effect of mobilization is comforting; the motion elicited is healing. That is just what chiropractic offers – comfort and healing! Chiropractic care strives to initially calm and lessen pain then integrate exercise for continued pain relief and healing via strengthening to curb future back pain. Back pain relief is a team effort!  Utilizing the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management offers the best of both worlds: gentle stretching treatment to painful segments that drops intradiscal pressures and at-home care like exercise, hot/cold therapy and nutrition to enhance the pain relief and recovery. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is excited to share the Groton back pain relief via Cox Technic with our Groton chiropractic patients!

In studying the disc of diabetic rats, researchers find a new positive: Vitamin D may well prevent and treat degenerative changes in the degenerated disc by enriching the disc’s content of transforming growth factor-β and insulin-like growth factor-1.
