Chiropractic Manipulation Benefits the Painful Spine

May 02, 2017

The spine loves spinal manipulation! It undoubtedly is thankful for what spinal manipulation feels like and rewards its owner with relief of back pain and relaxation. When you bring your San Jose spine to Chiropractic Solutions, Chiropractic Solutions treats it gently, safely and effectively. The San Jose chiropractic treatment plan integrates relieving, research-proven spinal manipulation.

Stops Painful Messages 

Spinal manipulation stops back pain’s messages to the body that it hurts. Chiropractic Solutions knows that our San Jose chiropractic back pain patients don’t want to hurt anymore. Spinal manipulation possesses an anti-nociceptive - anti-pain - effect on back pain. Spinal manipulation relieves back pain by affecting the pain messages formed by irritated spinal nerves. In one particular study, spinal manipulation more effectively hampered pain messages than did tactile sensation (no effect) or mechanical stimulus (no significant effect). (1) Chiropractic Solutions uses San Jose spinal manipulation to stop the spinal disc irritation.

Improving Water Content 

The intervertebral disc of the spine depends on its water content to be healthy and not easily irritated, keep its height and play its role in providing spinal mobility and acting like 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 key to spinal movement and key to back pain relief. It’s the most pain-sensitive structure in the spine! (2) Chiropractic Solutions treats the disc and the spine. When compression or exercise exertion challenges the spine, it responds. How? T2 MRI images show decreased value meaning that water content is low in the facet joints and the nucleus pulposus. (3) That’s why it’s so important to stay hydrated, drink water, and treat the disc to San Jose chiropractic care!

Disc Height Increases 

Discs in the lower back do respond to San Jose chiropractic. Intervertebral disc height increases with traction. (4) That’s what happens with Cox Technic, the form of spinal manipulation Chiropractic Solutions offers and is well-experienced in delivering. With Cox Technic, disc height enlarges by 17%, and spinal area opens by 28%. (5) When discs degenerate, they lose disc height. Spinal area diminishes. Spinal nerves are more prone to irritation. Chiropractic Solutions’s San Jose chiropractic care helps reduce that irritation and the associated San Jose back pain.

Chiropractic Solutions uses spinal manipulation to relieve back pain. Together with spinal manipulation, Chiropractic Solutions recommends nutritional advice about supplements with glycosaminoglycan elements glucosamine and chondroitin – both tied to the sulfate radical which imbibes fluid. It’s all part of your San Jose treatment plan.
