Chiropractic Manipulation Benefits the Hurting Spine

May 02, 2017

The spine appreciates spinal manipulation! It certainly welcomes what spinal manipulation feels like and rewards its owner with relief of back pain and relaxation. When you take your Oxford spine to Satterwhite Chiropractic, Satterwhite Chiropractic treats it gently, safely and effectively. The Oxford chiropractic treatment plan combines alleviating, research-proven spinal manipulation.

Stops Painful Messages 

Spinal manipulation halts back pain’s messages to the body that it hurts. Satterwhite Chiropractic knows that our Oxford chiropractic back pain patients don’t want to hurt anymore. Spinal manipulation possesses an anti-nociceptive - anti-pain - effect on back pain. Spinal manipulation allays11 back pain by affecting the pain messages created 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) Satterwhite Chiropractic employs Oxford spinal manipulation to discontinue the painful irritation of the spinal discs.

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 play its role in supporting 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 central to spinal movement and key to back pain relief. It’s the most pain-sensitive structure in the spine! (2) Satterwhite Chiropractic takes care of the disc and the spine. When compression or exercise exertion strains the spine, it responds. How? T2 MRI images show reduced value meaning that there is a loss of water content in the facet joints and the nucleus pulposus. (3) That’s why it is so vital to stay hydrated, drink water, and treat the disc to Oxford chiropractic care!

Disc Height Increases 

Lumbar spinal discs do respond to Oxford chiropractic. Intervertebral disc height improves with traction. (4) That is what occurs with Cox Technic, the form of spinal manipulation Satterwhite Chiropractic chooses to use 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 more prone to irritation. Satterwhite Chiropractic’s Oxford chiropractic care helps reduce that irritation and the associated Oxford back pain.

Satterwhite Chiropractic uses spinal manipulation to reduce back pain. Along with spinal manipulation, Satterwhite Chiropractic endorses nutritional advice about supplements with glycosaminoglycan elements glucosamine and chondroitin – both linked to the sulfate radical which imbibes fluid. It’s all incorporated into your Oxford treatment plan.
