Chiropractic Manipulation Benefits the Painful Spine

May 02, 2017

The spine is grateful for spinal manipulation! It certainly welcomes what spinal manipulation feels like and rewards its owner with back pain relief and relaxation. When you take your Groton spine to Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office, Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office treats it gently, safely and effectively. The Groton chiropractic treatment plan includes relieving, research-proven spinal manipulation.

Stops Painful Messages 

Spinal manipulation halts back pain’s messages to the body that it hurts. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office knows that our Groton chiropractic back pain patients don’t want to hurt anymore. Spinal manipulation has an anti-nociceptive - anti-pain - effect on back pain. Spinal manipulation reduces back pain by interfering with the pain messages created by irritated spinal nerves. In one specific study, spinal manipulation more effectively interfered with pain messages than did tactile sensation (no effect) or mechanical stimulus (no significant effect). (1) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office uses Groton spinal manipulation to discontinue the painful irritation of the spinal discs.

Improving Water Content 

The intervertebral disc of the spine relies on its water content to be healthy and not easily irritated, maintain its height and play its role in supporting spinal mobility and being the shock-absorber between the spinal vertebral bones! That may diminish the essence of the disc’s role a bit, but the spinal disc is central to spinal movement and key to back pain relief. It’s the most pain-sensitive structure in the spine! (2) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office cares for the disc and the spine. When the spine is loaded by compression or even during exercise, it reacts. How? T2 MRI images reveal reduced value meaning that there is a loss of water content in the facet joints and the nucleus pulposus. (3) That is the reason that it’s so important to stay hydrated, drink water, and treat the disc to Groton chiropractic care!

Disc Height Increases 

Lumbar spinal discs do react to Groton chiropractic. Intervertebral disc height enlarges with traction. (4) That is what occurs with Cox Technic, the form of spinal manipulation Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office offers and is well-experienced in delivering. With Cox Technic, disc height enlarges by 17%, and spinal area increases by 28%. (5) When discs degenerate, they lose disc height. Spinal area decreases. Spinal nerves are more susceptible to irritation. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office’s Groton chiropractic care assists in reducing that irritation and the associated Groton back pain.

Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office offers spinal manipulation to relieve back pain. Together with spinal manipulation, Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office endorses nutritional supplementation with glycosaminoglycan elements glucosamine and chondroitin – both tied to the sulfate radical which imbibes fluid. It is all incorporated into your Groton treatment plan.
