Spine Treatment Preferred
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 Johnson Chiropractic 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 first
calm and lessen pain then add in
exercise for continued pain relief and healing via strengthening to avoid
future back pain. Back pain relief is a team effort! Utilizing 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 boost the pain relief and recovery. Johnson Chiropractic is equipped to share the Richmond back pain relief via Cox Technic with
our Richmond chiropractic patients!

TIP of the Month: Vitamin D for the Degenerated Disc
Nutritionally, Vitamin D is such a good vitamin! Vitamin
D is shown to support bone and mood
and overall health. 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 improving
the disc’s content of transforming growth factor-β and insulin-like growth
factor-1. (2) What is your Vitamin D level? Let’s find out
together, you and Johnson Chiropractic! If it is low, your
Richmond chiropractic treatment plan will include
Vitamin D suggestions from your Richmond
chiropractor!
