December 2025 Healthy News from Manahawkin Chiropractic Center: Better Sleep and Back Pain Relief

WHAT ABOUT CHIROPRACTIC CARE KEEPS YOU COMING BACK?

Surveys. Reviews. Testimonials. They’re everywhere. But here is what really matters: how chiropractic care transforms YOUR life! A new Danish survey had 97% of patients state ‘very high’ or ‘high’ degree of overall satisfaction with care. What influenced that? Personal experience, clear communication about treatment and outcomes, complete examination, and effectiveness and reassurance about expected outcomes. (1) This high satisfaction appears well-founded given emerging evidence supporting the physiological benefits of spinal manipulation. Amjad et al. (2) demonstrated that 12 weeks of chiropractic spinal adjustments led to measurable improvements in blood biomarkers associated with neuroplasticity, inflammation, and stress, providing objective evidence of the body's positive physiological response to treatment. Additionally, Nyirö et al. (3) found that spinal manipulation enhances the body's proprioception—basically, how well your spine "knows where it is" in space—and directly linked these improvements to pain relief. Together, these studies suggest that patient satisfaction with chiropractic care is supported by measurable biological mechanisms, including favorable changes in blood markers and enhanced sensory function that correlate with reduced pain. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is here for our patients!

TIP OF THE MONTH: Better Sleep, Less Back Pain; Less Back Pain, Better Sleep

The connection between back pain and poor sleep creates a vicious cycle that many patients understand all too well—you can't sleep because your back hurts, and the loss of quality sleep makes the pain feel even worse. Recent research documents this frustrating reality: Lee et al. found that back pain actually precedes sleep problems in older men, suggesting that addressing the pain first could be the secret to stopping this downward spiral. (4) Meanwhile, Rahbar et al. discovered a strong link between chronic back problems and poor sleep quality in older adults, with those dealing with persistent back pain significantly more likely to report sleep disturbances. (5) Here's the inspiring news for our chiropractic patients at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center: by effectively managing back pain via spinal adjustments and care, you're not just working toward a pain-free back—you're potentially unlocking better, more restorative sleep. So if counting sheep isn't cutting it, it might be time to focus on your spine instead. Better back health could be your ticket to finally sleeping through the night.
