Ashburn and Herndon Chiropractic Healthy News from Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn July 2017

Manual therapy spinal mobilization is preferred over physiotherapy by chronic back pain patients with disc degeneration for back pain intensity reduction and disability. (1) Not surprising to Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn at all! The hands-on effect of mobilization is comforting; the motion elicited is healing. That is just what chiropractic presents – comfort and healing! Chiropractic care endeavors to initially calm and ease pain then integrate exercise for continued pain relief and healing via strengthening to curb future back pain. Back pain relief is a team effort!  Using the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management offers the best of both worlds: gentle stretching treatment to painful segments that reduces intradiscal pressures and at-home care like exercise, hot/cold therapy and nutrition to enhance the pain relief and recovery. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is excited to share the Ashburn and Herndon back pain relief via Cox Technic with our Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients!

TIP of the Month: Vitamin D for the Degenerated Disc

In studying the disc of diabetic rats, researchers find a new benefit: Vitamin D may well prevent and treat degenerative changes in the degenerated disc by bettering the disc’s content of transforming growth factor-β and insulin-like growth factor-1.
