Pain Relief

Back pain is one of the leading forms of chronic pain among adults and typically transpires from the abnormal pressure placed on the muscles and nerves of the spine. Most back pain occurs for a range of reasons that are either structural, musculoskeletal, nerve-based (changes in the structure of the spine), or a sign of an underlying disorder. It also important to identify or indicate whether the pain is on the left or the right. This can give a clue as to which of the many causes of back pain might be contributing to the issue.

Back pain can vary from person to person, type to type, and region to region, such as the upper, middle and lower back. It tends to occur in older people and can increase with age, but of course anyone can get back pain due to injury. Muscle spasms, ligament strain, bulging or herniated discs are some forms of Back pain due to injuries. It may also develop progressively due to conditions such as osteoarthritis, spinal curvature disorders (kyphosis, lordosis and scoliosis) etc.

The prevalence varies with gender. Women are more likely to have lower back pain, prolapsed or slipped disc, and sciatica, that is, pain in the sciatic nerves that run from the back down to the lower leg.

Mechanical back pain accounts for 97% of all cases of back pain. The main causes of back pain can be classified as relating to:
• Injury to the muscles, ligaments, and discs that support the spine
• Muscle pain, muscle strain or overuse of muscles
• Compression of the nerve (Nerve Pain)
• Inflammation, such as is caused by arthritis
• Poor posture
• Pressure on the spinal nerves, such as due to a herniated disc
• Osteoporosis, a thinning of the bones, can also result in hairline fractures, bone spurs and other structural changes

Pain and Inflammation usually go hand in hand, and Molecular Hydrogen plays a tremendous role in controlling these coinciding conditions. Inflammation occurs due to muscle strain and tissue damage as a result of injuries or excessive lactic acid build-up. Hydrogen can mitigate the excessive inflammatory response with its anti-inflammatory properties by loosening the muscles and easing pressure on the nerves, thus reducing pain.

Hydrogen works by neutralizing toxic free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), hence preventing them from damaging the cell membranes. Cell membrane damage may eventually lead to cell necrosis, which would ultimately result in muscle damage and excessive inflammation. In extreme cases, it could even weaken muscles and desensitize our nerves.

Hi-Bliss Hydrogen Therapy combines advanced scientifically proven and the therapeutic benefits of Molecular Hydrogen together with the various osteopathic assessments and manual therapy practices. Our treatments are designed to help our clients improve blood circulation, correct altered biomechanics, balance all the body systems, and to provide overall good health and wellbeing, naturally without the use of drugs or medication.
Chiropractic is a pseudoscientific complementary and alternative medicine that is concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. The main chiropractic treatment technique involves manual therapy, especially manipulation of the spine, other joints, and soft tissues.

Each session takes approximately 1-hour. We will start the session with Structural Assessment and Palpation, followed by Hydrogen Gas spraying, then Manipulation and session ends with Stretching exercises.
