how a reno chiropractor ends chronic back pain

Being a second generation chiropractor I have been able to watch the profession of chiropractic evolve for over 30 years. We have always known that a chiropractic works, just look at the amazing results we get. It has not been until the last 15 to 20 years that we have come to understand "why" what we do works. The decade of the 90's was the decade of brain research, and with that research came the understanding of how a chiropractic adjustment is so powerful in reducing pain.

When I ask some one what they think of when the think of a chiropractor the answer is usually the same. "Bone doc's", "bone crunchers" and many other fun names. In all reality this is fairly far from the truth. "Doctors of the nervous system" would be a more accurate representation of what it is chiropractors are. How is this you ask? Well to answer that question I will need to dive a little deep into some neurology, but I promise to bring it back around for every one.

When a part of the body becomes stuck such as your neck, or back, or even your elbow it creates a chain of events that leads to pain. This "joint fixation" or area that is stuck, will decrease the rate of firing of the joint mechanoreceptor in turn decreasing the rate of firing of the large diameter 1A fibers of the nerve. This decrease of the rate of firing decreases the inhibition of C fibers, or the pain fibers of the nerve which will increase activity of these C fibers. This process leads to an increase in pain.

As a chiropractor I daily work on INCREASING the frequency of firing of the joint mechanoreceptors, increasing firing of the 1A fibers, which inhibits transmission to the C fibers all leading to a decrease in pain! Clear as mud right?

Whew...that took my breath away getting through that! Lets talk now about that nagging pain between your shoulders. The vast majority of mid back pain is due to "joint fixation" in between the shoulders. A Bellevue chiropractor would be able to diagnose the problem and fix it.

This is the neurological reason why the chiropractic adjustment works as well as it does.
