Seattle Chiropractor for facet pain

Chiropractic helps reduce facet generated pain using spinal manipulation. The mechanism of action does three things that help reduce pain and restore range of motion without using injections or surgery. First, spinal manipulation separates the facet joint resulting in a release of energy and creating joint cavitation usually associated with a popping noise. The second mechanism involves stretching of paraspinal muscle resulting in forced muscle relaxation. Finally, there is a decrease in pressure of the disk, which can press on nerves. To learn more about evidence-based chiropractic and how it helps reduce nerve pressure and back pain. Call for an appointment with Dr. Jason Silliker at Sound Chiropractic Center of Seattle.
