Chiropractic Manipulation Relieves the Hurting Spine

May 02, 2017

The spine appreciates spinal manipulation! It certainly appreciates what spinal manipulation feels like and rewards its owner with relief of back pain and relaxation. When you bring your Carrolltown spine to Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation, Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation treats it gently, safely and effectively. The Carrolltown chiropractic treatment plan combines relieving, research-proven spinal manipulation.

Stops Painful Messages 

Spinal manipulation hinders back pain’s messages to the body that it hurts. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation knows that our Carrolltown chiropractic back pain patients don’t want to hurt anymore. Spinal manipulation has an anti-nociceptive - anti-pain - effect on back pain. Spinal manipulation relieves back pain by interfering with the pain messages formed by irritated spinal nerves. In one specific study, spinal manipulation more effectively slowed pain messages than did tactile sensation (no effect) or mechanical stimulus (no significant effect). (1) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation offers Carrolltown spinal manipulation to stop 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, keep its height and play its role in maintaining spinal mobility and being the shock-absorber in the middle of the spinal vertebral bones! That may diminish the essence of the disc’s role a bit, but the spinal disc is vital to spinal movement and critical to back pain relief. It’s the most pain-sensitive structure in the spine! (2) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation cares for the disc and the spine. When the spine is loaded by compression or even during exercise, it reacts. How? T2 MRI images show reduced value signifying that water content is low in the facet joints and the nucleus pulposus. (3) That’s why it is so essential to stay hydrated, drink water, and treat the disc to Carrolltown chiropractic care!

Disc Height Increases 

Discs in the lower back do react to Carrolltown chiropractic. Intervertebral disc height increases with traction. (4) That’s what happens with Cox Technic, the form of spinal manipulation Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation 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. Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation’s Carrolltown chiropractic care helps diminish that irritation and the associated Carrolltown back pain.

Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation uses spinal manipulation to reduce back pain. Together with spinal manipulation, Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation recommends nutritional advice about supplements with glycosaminoglycan elements glucosamine and chondroitin – both tied to the sulfate radical which absorbs fluid. It is all part of your Carrolltown treatment plan.
