May 02, 2017

The spine loves spinal manipulation! It undoubtedly values what spinal manipulation feels like and rewards its owner with back pain relief and relaxation. When you take your Sitka spine to Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka, Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka treats it gently, safely and effectively. The Sitka 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. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka knows that our Sitka 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 affecting the pain messages produced by irritated spinal nerves. In one specific study, spinal manipulation more effectively interfered with pain messages than did tactile sensation (no effect) or mechanical stimulus (no significant effect). (1) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka offers Sitka 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 bothered by pain, maintain its height and play its role in providing 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 essential to spinal movement and key to back pain relief. It’s the most pain-sensitive structure in the spine! (2) Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka cares for the disc and the spine. When compression or exercise exertion taxes 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 vital to stay hydrated, drink water, and treat the disc to Sitka chiropractic care!

Disc Height Increases 

Lumbar spinal discs do react to Sitka chiropractic. Intervertebral disc height increases with traction. (4) That is what happens with Cox Technic, the form of spinal manipulation Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka 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. Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka’s Sitka chiropractic care assists in lessening that irritation and the associated Sitka back pain.

Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka provides spinal manipulation to reduce back pain. Together with spinal manipulation, Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka endorses nutritional supplementation with glycosaminoglycan elements glucosamine and chondroitin – both tied to the sulfate radical which draws in fluid. It is all part of your Sitka treatment plan.
