Manahawkin Chiropractic Healthy News from Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 Manahawkin Chiropractic Center 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 strives to initially calm and reduce 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 drops intradiscal pressures and at-home care like exercise, hot/cold therapy and nutrition to enhance the pain relief and recovery. Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is equipped to share the Manahawkin back pain relief via Cox Technic with our Manahawkin chiropractic patients!
