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 back pain relief and relaxation. When you bring your McHenry spine to OrthoIllinois Chiropractic, OrthoIllinois Chiropractic treats it gently, safely and effectively. The McHenry chiropractic treatment plan incorporates alleviating, research-proven spinal manipulation.
Spinal manipulation halts back pain’s messages to the body that it hurts. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic knows that our McHenry chiropractic back pain patients don’t want to hurt anymore. Spinal manipulation has an anti-nociceptive - anti-pain - effect on back pain. Spinal manipulation allays11 back pain by interfering with the pain messages formed 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) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic offers McHenry spinal manipulation to stop the spinal disc irritation.
The intervertebral disc of the spine depends on its water content to be healthy and not easily bothered by pain, maintain its height and play its role in maintaining 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 essential to spinal movement and key to back pain relief. It’s the most pain-sensitive structure in the spine! (2) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic takes care of the disc and the spine. When compression or exercise exertion taxes the spine, it reacts. How? T2 MRI images reveal decreased value meaning that water content is low in the facet joints and the nucleus pulposus. (3) That is why it’s so important to stay hydrated, drink water, and treat the disc to McHenry chiropractic care!
Lumbar spinal discs do react to McHenry chiropractic. Intervertebral disc height enlarges with traction. (4) That is what happens with Cox Technic, the form of spinal manipulation OrthoIllinois Chiropractic offers and is proficient 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 diminishes. Spinal nerves are aggravated more easily. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic’s McHenry chiropractic care helps reduce that irritation and the associated McHenry back pain.
OrthoIllinois Chiropractic offers spinal manipulation to relieve back pain. Accompanied by spinal manipulation, OrthoIllinois Chiropractic recommends nutritional supplementation with glycosaminoglycan elements glucosamine and chondroitin – both tied to the sulfate radical which draws in fluid. It’s all incorporated into your McHenry treatment plan.
