December 2025 Healthy News from Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation: Better Sleep and Back Pain Relief

WHY DO BACK PAIN SUFFERERS KEEP CHOOSING CHIROPRACTIC CARE?

Surveys. Reviews. Testimonials. They’re everywhere. But here is what really counts: how chiropractic care transforms YOUR life! A new Danish survey had 97% of patients state ‘very high’ or ‘high’ degree of overall satisfaction with care. There's a reason chiropractic patients are among the most loyal in healthcare—and it's not just about feeling better in the moment. Personal experience, clear communication about treatment and outcomes, comprehensive examination, and effectiveness and reassurance about expected outcomes. (1) This high satisfaction appears well-founded given emerging evidence supporting the physiological benefits of spinal manipulation. Amjad et al. (2) reported that just 3 months of chiropractic adjustments triggered measurable changes in blood biomarkers—showing real improvements in how your brain adapts, how your body manages inflammation, and how you handle stress—offering concrete biological proof that your body is responding positively to care. Additionally, Nyirö et al. (3) found that spinal manipulation enhances the body's proprioception—basically, how well your spine "knows where it is" in space—and directly linked these improvements to pain relief. In other words, patients love their chiropractic care for good reason: it's setting off genuine physiological changes that help them feel better, from the cellular level to the way their nervous system processes pain and movement. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is here to help our patients!

TIP OF THE MONTH: Better Sleep, Less Back Pain; Less Back Pain, Better Sleep

The connection between back pain and poor sleep creates a vicious cycle that many patients know all too well—you can't sleep because your back hurts, and the lack of quality sleep makes the pain feel even worse. Recent research validates this frustrating reality: Lee et al. found that back pain actually precedes sleep problems in older men, suggesting that addressing the pain first could be the key to breaking the cycle. (4) Meanwhile, Rahbar et al. uncovered a strong association between chronic back problems and poor sleep quality in older adults, with those dealing with persistent back pain significantly more likely to report sleep disturbances. (5) Here's the encouraging news for our chiropractic patients at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation: by effectively managing back pain through spinal adjustments and care, you're not just working toward a pain-free back—you're potentially unlocking better, more restorative sleep. When the pain that's been keeping you tossing and turning finally eases, your body can do what it's meant to do at night: rest, repair, and recharge for tomorrow.
