Chiropractic Manipulation Benefits the Hurting Spine

May 02, 2017

The spine appreciates spinal manipulation! It certainly is thankful for what spinal manipulation feels like and rewards its owner with back pain relief and relaxation. When you bring your Toronto spine to Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre, Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre treats it gently, safely and effectively. The Toronto chiropractic treatment plan includes relieving, research-proven spinal manipulation.

Stops Painful Messages 

Spinal manipulation hinders back pain’s messages to the body that it hurts. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre knows that our Toronto chiropractic back pain patients don’t want to hurt anymore. Spinal manipulation has an anti-nociceptive - anti-pain - effect on back pain. Spinal manipulation eases back pain by hampering the pain messages produced by irritated spinal nerves. In one particular study, spinal manipulation more effectively hampered pain messages than did mechanical stimulus (no significant effect) or tactile sensation (no effect). (1) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre employs Toronto spinal manipulation to hamper the spinal disc irritation.

Improving Water Content 

The intervertebral disc of the spine depends on its water content to be healthy and not easily bothered by pain, keep its height and do its job of supporting spinal mobility and being the shock-absorber between the spinal vertebral bones! That may simplify the disc’s role a bit, but the spinal disc is central to spinal movement and key to back pain relief. It’s the most pain-sensitive structure in the spine! (2) Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre cares for the disc and the spine. When the spine is loaded by compression or even during exercise, it responds. 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’s so essential to stay hydrated, drink water, and treat the disc to Toronto chiropractic care!

Disc Height Increases 

Lumbar spinal discs do respond to Toronto chiropractic. Intervertebral disc height enlarges with traction. (4) That’s what occurs with Cox Technic, the form of spinal manipulation Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre offers and is well-experienced in delivering. With Cox Technic, disc height enlarges by 17%, and spinal area increases by 28%. (5) When discs degenerate, they lose disc height. Spinal area diminishes. Spinal nerves are irritated more easily. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre’s Toronto chiropractic care assists in lessening that irritation and the associated Toronto back pain.

Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre offers spinal manipulation to relieve back pain. Together with spinal manipulation, Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre recommends nutritional advice about supplements with glycosaminoglycan elements glucosamine and chondroitin – both tied to the sulfate radical which absorbs fluid. It’s all incorporated into your Toronto treatment plan.
