December 2025 Healthy News from Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn: Better Sleep and Back Pain Relief

WHY DO PATIENTS KEEP CHOOSING CHIROPRACTIC CARE?

Surveys. Reviews. Testimonials. They’re everywhere. But here's what really matters: how chiropractic care transforms YOUR life! A new Danish survey had 97% of patients state ‘very high’ or ‘high’ degree of overall satisfaction with care. What influenced that? Personal experience, clear communication about treatment and outcomes, comprehensive examination, and effectiveness and reassurance about expected outcomes. (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) 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 enhances the body's proprioception—essentially, how well your spine "knows where it is" in space—and directly linked these improvements to pain relief. In other words, patients love their chiropractic care for good reason: it's setting off genuine physiological changes that help them feel better, from the cellular level to the way their nervous system processes pain and movement. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is here for our patients!

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

The connection between back pain and poor sleep makes for a vicious cycle that many patients know all too well—you can't sleep because your back hurts, and the lack of quality sleep makes the pain feel even worse. Recent research validates 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. discovered a strong association between chronic back problems and poor sleep quality in older adults, with those dealing with persistent back pain significantly more likely to report sleep disturbances. (5) Here's the inspiring news for our chiropractic patients at Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn: by effectively managing back pain through spinal adjustments and care, you're not just working toward a pain-free back—you're potentially unlocking better, more restorative sleep. So if counting sheep isn't cutting it, it might be time to focus on your spine instead. Better back health could be your ticket to finally sleeping through the night.
