Up to 85% of Canadians will experience low back pain at one point in their life. 31% of Canadians report they aren’t able to do certain hobbies and activities because of low back pain. These reports totally surprise me… I ask myself why would one allow back pain to take over their life…
The chiropractic adjustment is effective in managing acute and chronic low back pain complaints!
and here’s how…..
– the stimulation of movement at the spine releases endorphins** your natural pain killers
– these endorphins ALSO relax local tissues – like trigger points and tight muscles
– the adjustment provides nutrition to the joint cartilage through motion. The cartilage of the joints has low blood supply so the only way it gets “fed” is through movement. When cartilage is healthy the joint does not degenerate.
– and it promotes improved function – reminding the brain of the proper movement of the joint. The chiropractic adjustment takes the joint through its full range of motion – and sends this information to the brain. This can now be replayed in the brain and is a form of “joint training”…. like muscle training at the athletic training. Allowing the joint to function and move optimally with different stresses placed on it.
Did I say movement? Movement is medicine. Get adjusted today so you can play!
