December 2025 Healthy News from Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC: Better Sleep and Back Pain Relief

WHAT ABOUT CHIROPRACTIC CARE KEEPS YOU COMING BACK?

Surveys. Reviews. Testimonials. They’re everywhere. But here's what really counts: 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, complete examination, and effectiveness and reassurance about expected outcomes. (1) This high satisfaction appears well-founded given emerging evidence supporting the physiological benefits of spinal manipulation. Amjad et al. (2) reported that just 3 months of chiropractic adjustments triggered 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 boosted lumbar proprioception—the body's awareness of spinal position and movement—and linked these proprioceptive improvements directly to pain relief in patients. 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. Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC 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 creates 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 documents 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 secret to stopping this downward spiral. (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 encouraging news for our chiropractic patients at Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC: 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. 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.
