Pain and Spinal Health

While the most common motivator for a visit to the Dunn Wellness Center is pain, it is important to understand that treatment of pain involves more than simply pills for pain relief. Pain management and resolution requires both the right treatment and the patient's cooperation in supporting their health over a long enough period of time to allow proper healing.

Spinal health is a key factor in total wellness, as spinal health affects nerve impulse generation to the brain and throughout the body. Periods of prolonged standing or sitting, or repeated incorrect body movements, contribute to the locking of spinal joints by abnormal periods of muscle contraction. When spinal joints lose their capacity for motion, the resulting fixations lead to injury and pain. Once these fixations are corrected by chiropractic adjustments, pain is eliminated by re-training the joints and muscles in strength and mobility.
