Chiropractic Care and Inflammation: Working Hand in Hand to Reduce Pain
Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to modulate the production of cytokines in patients with acute and chronic back pain
- side note: cytokines are the ones responsible for controlling the growth and activity of other immune system cells and blood cells- in essence- when they are released they tell the immune system to do its job
- This is where things get tricky- inflammation is essential for the body to heal - however sometimes the body produces too much and this can lead to chronic problems
- This study is so EXCITING because it shows that to limit the overproduction of inflammation- chiropractic adjustments can alter the chemical release of inflammation markers that will help us heal better and be in LESS PAIN!
This research study found that patients that received chiropractic care had a reduction in the levels of TNFa with other inflammation mediators like Il6 IFN and TNFR2
So much research has shown that spinal manipulative therapy is a recognised effective form of non-pharmacological treatment of back pain
