20.01.2022 Alternative Pain Management Options for LBP Spinal Manipulation/Adjustment (10/11) [Series] Spinal adjustments are procedures in which a controlled, sudden f...orce is delivered to the spine using hands or an instrument. . Generally, they are performed by highly trained specialists called chiropractors but are also performed by a variety of other healthcare practitioners (under the name 'spinal manipulations'). . Spinal adjustments are thought to improve pain by bombarding the nervous system with input that evokes a series of responses between the spinal cord and brain resulting in changes to pain-dampening/amplifying pathways. . Compared to other interventions, like exercise or NSAIDs, spinal manipulation results in similar reductions in pain but a small, greater benefit relating to short-term function. . Moreover,spinal manipulation often results in better outcomes pertaining to pain and function compared to rest. . Considering the comparable effects, spinal adjustment presents a good option for you to begin re-gaining function and confidence of movement. . But because they are passive in nature (meaning you just lay there while something is done to you), it is important to realize spinal adjustment, like any other passive therapy, is supportive but not corrective. . In other words, it's vital to transition to more active therapies which empower you as the patient so as to not feel chained to your healthcare provider for improvements to your pain! After all, your health is your responsibility! .
