Largo Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation Reduces Pain

Breaking News! Spinal manipulation raises water content in the disc and cuts down on the pain intensity!

Hollstrom & Associates Inc is excited to share with our Largo back pain patients this news. We hear our patients go into detail about their relief while being treated and after the treatment, so it’s great to have research document and explain that relief! The Largo chiropractic care at Hollstrom & Associates Inc is certainly beneficial.

Many patients coming to Hollstrom & Associates Inc have disc degeneration, a condition that finds the intervertebral disc lacking its original height and fluid and nutrients. Disc degeneration or any number of other spine conditions may cause our Largo patients pain. Our chiropractic services are pain relieving, gentle and effective for many Largo back pain sufferers. Explaining the reasons for this relief is important for all of us.

Now, the current research study about spinal manipulation and water content of the disc recorded patient response to spinal manipulation.  During and following the spinal manipulation, the authors report an immediate increase in the water content of the disc in the low back at the L1-2 and L2-3 and L4-5 levels of the lumbar spine! This is reassuring evidence for the benefit of spinal manipulation in treating back pain. Patients in this study also note relief of pain intensity while undergoing spinal manipulation. (1) Our Largo back patients do, too.

As a side note: Another study pointed out that drinking water 36 hours before a spinal manipulation session is also beneficial. (2) The more water available, the more it can get into the disc during spinal manipulation. This can only help!

Our spinal manipulation of choice for Largo clients is Cox Technic Flexion Distraction. Not only is it relieving, it’s evidence-based and research-documented via federally funded research with the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration with nearly 50 years of experience behind it. That’s important to Hollstrom & Associates Inc to have support behind what we do.

So, drink some water, and contact Hollstrom & Associates Inc today to set up your next Largo chiropractic spinal manipulation appointment. Your discs will thank you!
