December 2025 Healthy News from Hollstrom & Associates Inc: 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 is for YOU! A recent Danish survey had 97% of patients report ‘very high’ or ‘high’ degree of overall satisfaction with care. What influenced that? 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) This high satisfaction appears well-founded given emerging evidence supporting the physiological benefits of spinal manipulation. Amjad et al. (2) demonstrated that 12 weeks of chiropractic spinal adjustments led to measurable improvements in blood biomarkers associated with neuroplasticity, inflammation, and stress, providing objective evidence of the body's positive physiological response to treatment. Additionally, Nyirö et al. (3) found that spinal manipulation significantly boosted 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 boosted sensory function that correlate with reduced pain. Hollstrom & Associates Inc is here for our patients!

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

Back pain and sleepless nights feed off each other in a frustrating loop—your hurting back keeps you awake at night, and then your tiredness makes every twinge feel more intense the next day. Recent research confirms this frustrating reality: Lee et al. found that back pain actually precedes sleep problems in older men, suggesting that addressing the pain first could be the key to breaking the cycle. (4) Meanwhile, Rahbar et al. discovered a strong association 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 encouraging news for our chiropractic patients at Hollstrom & Associates Inc: by effectively managing back pain via spinal adjustments and care, you're doing double duty—easing your back pain while opening the door to deeper, more rejuvenating sleep. When the pain that's been keeping you tossing and turning finally eases, your body can do what it's made 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!
