Spinal manipulation halts back pain’s messages to the body that it hurts. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa understands that our West Des Moines 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 hampering the pain messages formed by irritated spinal nerves. In one particular study, spinal manipulation more effectively slowed pain messages than did mechanical stimulus (no significant effect) or tactile sensation (no effect). (1) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa employs West Des Moines spinal manipulation to discontinue the spinal disc irritation.
The intervertebral disc of the spine depends on its water content to be healthy and not easily irritated, maintain its height and do its job of maintaining spinal mobility and being the shock-absorber in the middle of the spinal vertebral bones! That may simplify 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) Executive Chiropractic of Iowa takes care of the disc and the spine. When the spine is loaded by compression or even during exercise, it reacts. How? T2 MRI images reveal decreased value signifying that there is a loss of water content 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 West Des Moines chiropractic care!
Discs in the lower back do react to West Des Moines chiropractic. Intervertebral disc height increases with traction. (4) That is what happens with Cox Technic, the form of spinal manipulation Executive Chiropractic of Iowa offers and is well-experienced in delivering. With Cox Technic, disc height enlarges 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. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa’s West Des Moines chiropractic care helps diminish that irritation and the associated West Des Moines back pain.
Executive Chiropractic of Iowa uses spinal manipulation to relieve back pain. Along with spinal manipulation, Executive Chiropractic of Iowa endorses nutritional supplementation with glycosaminoglycan elements glucosamine and chondroitin – both linked to the sulfate radical which imbibes fluid. It’s all part of your West Des Moines treatment plan.
