Toronto Chiropractic Healthy News from Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre 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 Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre at all! The hands-on effect of mobilization is comforting; the motion elicited is healing. That’s just what chiropractic presents – comfort and healing! Chiropractic care sets out to initially 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 reduces intradiscal pressures and at-home care like exercise, hot/cold therapy and nutrition to enhance the pain relief and recovery. Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is trained and ready to share the Toronto back pain relief via Cox Technic with our Toronto chiropractic patients!

Nutritionally, Vitamin D is such a good vitamin! Vitamin D is shown to support bone and mood and overall health. In researching the disc of diabetic rats, researchers find a new benefit: Vitamin D may well prevent and treat degenerative changes in the degenerated disc by bettering the disc’s content of transforming growth factor-β and insulin-like growth factor-1. (2) How is your Vitamin D level? Let us find out together, you and Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre! If it’s low, your Toronto chiropractic treatment plan will incorporate Vitamin D suggestions from your Toronto chiropractor!
