Manchester Chiropractic Healthy News from Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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 Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries at all! The hands-on effect of mobilization is comforting; the motion elicited is healing. That’s just what chiropractic offers – comfort and healing! Chiropractic care strives to first calm and lessen pain then add in exercise for continued pain relief and healing via strengthening to curb 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 drops intradiscal pressures and at-home care like exercise, hot/cold therapy and nutrition to enhance the pain relief and recovery. Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries is equipped to share the Manchester back pain relief via Cox Technic with our Manchester chiropractic patients!
