December 2025 Healthy News from Vancouver Disc Centers: Better Sleep and Back Pain Relief

WHAT ABOUT CHIROPRACTIC CARE KEEPS YOU COMING BACK?

Surveys. Reviews. Testimonials. They’re everywhere. But what’s most important? How the care delivers for YOU! A new Danish survey had 97% of patients report ‘very high’ or ‘high’ degree of overall satisfaction with care. There's a reason chiropractic patients are among the most loyal in healthcare—and it's not just about feeling better in the moment. Your unique journey, honest conversations about your treatment plan, thorough evaluation of your spinal issue, and proven results that give you confidence in your progress. (1) Chiropractic patients aren't just satisfied with their care—they're genuinely enthusiastic about it. What makes this satisfaction particularly compelling is that it's backed by real, measurable science. Amjad et al. (2) reported that just 3 months of chiropractic adjustments generated measurable changes in blood biomarkers—showing real improvements in how your brain adapts, how your body manages inflammation, and how you handle stress—offering concrete biological proof that your body is responding positively to care. Additionally, Nyirö et al. (3) found that spinal manipulation significantly improved lumbar proprioception—the body's awareness of spinal position and movement—and linked these proprioceptive improvements directly to pain relief in patients. Together, these studies suggest that patient satisfaction with chiropractic care is supported by demonstrable biological mechanisms, including favorable changes in blood markers and enhanced sensory function that correlate with reduced pain. Vancouver Disc Centers is here to help our patients!

TIP OF THE MONTH: Better Sleep, Less Back Pain; Less Back Pain, Better Sleep

The connection between back pain and poor sleep creates a vicious cycle that many patients know all too well—you can't sleep because your back hurts, and the loss of quality sleep makes the pain feel even worse. Recent research confirms this frustrating reality: Lee et al. found that back pain actually paves the way to sleep problems in older men, suggesting that addressing the pain first could be the key to breaking the cycle. (4) Meanwhile, Rahbar et al. uncovered a strong link between chronic back problems and poor sleep quality in older adults, with those suffering from persistent back pain significantly more likely to report sleep disturbances. (5) Here's the hopeful news for our chiropractic patients at Vancouver Disc Centers: by effectively managing back pain through spinal adjustments and care, you're doing double duty—easing your back pain while opening the door to deeper, more rejuvenating sleep. When that nagging discomfort that's been robbing you of rest finally subsides, your body can do what it's meant to do at night: rest, repair, and recharge for tomorrow.

Happy Holidays! Make sure to see us this holiday season to get some back pain relief and better sleep!
