Chiropractic Manipulation Helps the Painful Spine

May 02, 2017

The spine appreciates spinal manipulation! It certainly values what spinal manipulation feels like and rewards its owner with back pain relief and relaxation. When you bring your Juneau spine to Aurora Chiropractic Center, Aurora Chiropractic Center treats it gently, safely and effectively. The Juneau chiropractic treatment plan includes alleviating, research-proven spinal manipulation.

Stops Painful Messages 

Spinal manipulation hinders back pain’s messages to the body that it hurts. Aurora Chiropractic Center knows that our Juneau chiropractic back pain patients don’t want to hurt anymore. Spinal manipulation has an anti-nociceptive - anti-pain - effect on back pain. Spinal manipulation eases back pain by interfering with the pain messages created by irritated spinal nerves. In one specific study, spinal manipulation more effectively hampered pain messages than did tactile sensation (no effect) or mechanical stimulus (no significant effect). (1) Aurora Chiropractic Center uses Juneau 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 bothered by pain, keep its height and do its job of providing spinal mobility and acting like the shock-absorber in the middle of the spinal vertebral bones! That may simplify 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) Aurora Chiropractic Center treats the disc and the spine. When the spine is loaded by compression or even during exercise, it responds. How? T2 MRI images reveal decreased value meaning that water content is low in the facet joints and the nucleus pulposus. (3) That’s the reason that it’s so vital to stay hydrated, drink water, and treat the disc to Juneau chiropractic care!

Disc Height Increases 

Lumbar spinal discs do respond to Juneau chiropractic. Intervertebral disc height enlarges with traction. (4) That is what happens with Cox Technic, the form of spinal manipulation Aurora Chiropractic Center offers and is well-experienced in delivering. With Cox Technic, disc height increases by 17%, and spinal area opens by 28%. (5) When discs degenerate, they lose disc height. Spinal area decreases. Spinal nerves are irritated more easily. Aurora Chiropractic Center’s Juneau chiropractic care assists in lessening that irritation and the associated Juneau back pain.

Aurora Chiropractic Center uses spinal manipulation to reduce back pain. Together with spinal manipulation, Aurora Chiropractic Center endorses nutritional supplementation with glycosaminoglycan elements glucosamine and chondroitin – both linked to the sulfate radical which absorbs fluid. It is all incorporated into your Juneau treatment plan.
