Chiropractic Manipulation Helps the Hurting Spine

May 02, 2017

The spine appreciates spinal manipulation! It certainly is thankful for what spinal manipulation feels like and rewards its owner with relief of back pain and relaxation. When you take your La Grande spine to Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC, Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC treats it gently, safely and effectively. The La Grande chiropractic treatment plan includes relieving, research-proven spinal manipulation.

Stops Painful Messages 

Spinal manipulation hinders back pain’s messages to the body that it hurts. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC understands that our La Grande chiropractic back pain patients want to stop the hurt. Spinal manipulation possesses an anti-nociceptive - anti-pain - effect on back pain. Spinal manipulation reduces back pain by hampering the pain messages produced by irritated spinal nerves. In one particular study, spinal manipulation more effectively interfered with pain messages than did tactile sensation (no effect) or mechanical stimulus (no significant effect). (1) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC offers La Grande 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 do its job of supporting spinal mobility and being the shock-absorber in the middle of the spinal vertebral bones! That may diminish the essence of the disc’s role a bit, but the spinal disc is essential to spinal movement and important to back pain relief. It’s the most pain-sensitive structure in the spine! (2) Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC treats the disc and the spine. When the spine is loaded by compression or even during exercise, it responds. How? T2 MRI images show decreased value meaning that water content is low in the facet joints and the nucleus pulposus. (3) That’s the reason that it’s so vital to stay hydrated, drink water, and treat the disc to La Grande chiropractic care!

Disc Height Increases 

Lumbar spinal discs do react to La Grande chiropractic. Intervertebral disc height increases with traction. (4) That’s what happens with Cox Technic, the form of spinal manipulation Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC offers and is proficient 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 diminishes. Spinal nerves are irritated more easily. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC’s La Grande chiropractic care assists in reducing that irritation and the associated La Grande back pain.

Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC offers spinal manipulation to relieve back pain. Together with spinal manipulation, Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC recommends 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 La Grande treatment plan.
