Chiropractic Manipulation Benefits the Painful Spine
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 take your St Peters spine to Old Mill Chiropractic, Old Mill Chiropractic treats it gently, safely and effectively. The St Peters chiropractic treatment plan includes relieving, research-proven spinal manipulation.
Spinal manipulation hinders back pain’s messages to the body that it hurts. Old Mill Chiropractic understands that our St Peters chiropractic back pain patients want to stop the hurt. Spinal manipulation has an anti-nociceptive - anti-pain - effect on back pain. Spinal manipulation eases back pain by hampering the pain messages created by irritated spinal nerves. In one specific study, spinal manipulation more effectively hampered pain messages than did mechanical stimulus (no significant effect) or tactile sensation (no effect). (1) Old Mill Chiropractic employs St Peters spinal manipulation to stop the painful irritation of the spinal discs.
The intervertebral disc of the spine depends on its water content to be healthy and not easily irritated, maintain its height and do its job of supporting 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) Old Mill Chiropractic takes care of the disc and the spine. When compression or exercise exertion challenges the spine, it reacts. How? T2 MRI images reveal reduced value signifying that water content is low in the facet joints and the nucleus pulposus. (3) That’s the reason that it’s so essential to stay hydrated, drink water, and treat the disc to St Peters chiropractic care!
Discs in the lower back do react to St Peters chiropractic. Intervertebral disc height enlarges with traction. (4) That is what happens with Cox Technic, the form of spinal manipulation Old Mill Chiropractic offers and is well-experienced in delivering. With Cox Technic, disc height increases by 17%, and spinal area increases by 28%. (5) When discs degenerate, they lose disc height. Spinal area decreases. Spinal nerves are more prone to irritation. Old Mill Chiropractic’s St Peters chiropractic care helps reduce that irritation and the associated St Peters back pain.
Old Mill Chiropractic provides spinal manipulation to relieve back pain. Along with spinal manipulation, Old Mill Chiropractic recommends nutritional supplementation with glycosaminoglycan elements glucosamine and chondroitin – both linked to the sulfate radical which absorbs fluid. It’s all part of your St Peters treatment plan.
