CALM YOUR MIND, HEAL YOUR BACK

If you're dealing with chronic back pain, consider adding some peaceful movement to your healing routine. Recent research continues to support what many have experienced firsthand—practices like meditation, yoga, tai chi, and qigong can be powerful allies in managing back pain. A 2025 clinical guideline summary by Silva and colleagues highlights the important role these integrative and complementary approaches play in chronic pain management, while Yang and team's recent study on tai chi and qigong for back pain revealed encouraging results, with participants reporting meaningful improvements in their pain levels and overall well-being. These gentle practices work by combining mindful movement, breathing techniques, and relaxation to help reduce muscle tension, improve flexibility, and calm the nervous system. Best of all, they're low-impact and can be adapted to your current fitness level. This month, why not explore one of these calming activities? Even just 10-15 minutes a day of gentle, mindful movement may help you find relief while bringing more peace and balance to your daily routine.

CHIROPRACTIC'S MOMENT: RESEARCH CALLS FOR NON-SURGICAL CARE

Chiropractic care has arrived at its moment—positioned well to meet exactly what today's medical literature is demanding for back pain treatment. Two pivotal studies published this month reveal that the healthcare world is finally catching up to what chiropractors have been delivering all along. The World Health Organization's groundbreaking guidelines, detailed by Briggs and colleagues in Global Health Research & Policy, now explicitly call for non-surgical management as the primary approach to chronic low back pain—placing chiropractic care squarely at the center of evidence-based treatment. Meanwhile, research by Mathieu and his team in Scientific Reports provides compelling evidence that chiropractors possess exceptional diagnostic skills, achieving 74.7% overall diagnostic agreement with neurosurgeons and an even more impressive 82.0% management agreement. The study reveals that chiropractors demonstrate superior clinical precision in identifying specific conditions rather than defaulting to vague diagnoses, and most importantly, they excel at triaging patients—a critical skill that can accelerate treatment for non-surgical cases while reducing unnecessary surgical consultation waiting lists. This convergence isn't coincidental—it's the natural result of chiropractic care being ideally positioned to deliver exactly what modern medicine is now recognizing as optimal patient care. The literature has spoken, and chiropractic stands ready as the solution the healthcare system has been seeking. Certainly, your chiropractor is ready and able meet this challenge with Cox® Technic!

Nashua Migraine Relief Through Cox® Technic: A Drug-Free Approach Targeting the Thoracolumbar Spine

If you're reading this through the fog of another migraine, Moriarty Chiropractic has you. We know you've probably attempted everything – the prescriptions that don't work as well as you would like, the side effects that sometimes feel worse than the headaches themselves, the frantic Google searches at 2 AM. But what if we told you that relief might come by treating your spine? That’s just what Nashua chiropractic care does.

SARAH'S STORY: FROM MIGRAINE PRISONER TO FREE
Meet Sarah (not her real name), a 46-year-old woman who was living your discomfort. Ten crushing migraines every single month for two months straight. She'd visited physician after physician, got and took prescription after prescription, and still got up every day wondering when the next wave of pain would hit.
Sound typical? Then Sarah discovered something called Cox® Technic flexion-distraction – and everything transformed.

WHAT THE HECK IS COX TECHNIC? (AND WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?)
Forget everything you think you know about Nashua chiropractic care. Cox® Technic isn't about remarkable bone-cracking adjustments. Instead, it's like a gentle, healing flow for your spine.
Imagine this: rhythmic, soothing movements that actually feel good as they:
• Gently decompress your spine (Imagine the relief!)
• Get your blood moving to all the right places
• Calm down angry, inflamed nerves
• Reinstate the normal movement your body wants

THE PLOT TWIST: YOUR BACK MIGHT BE YOUR MIGRAINE TRIGGER
Here's what was new about Sarah's treatment: her chiropractor didn't just work on her neck. He treated her entire spine – including the thoracolumbar area (the mid and lower back). Why? Because your body is one connected system. When your back is stuck, it triggers a domino effect that moves all the way up your spine.

SARAH'S MIRACLE IN NUMBERS
After just 13 gentle treatment sessions over six weeks:
• Her migraines practically vanished.
• She threw away half her pain medications.
• She got a full nights’ sleep for the first time in months.
• Her family got their mom/wife back.

COULD THIS BE YOUR ANSWER TOO?
Think about it: when was the last time a doctor examined your whole spine as the possible generator of your head pain? (If you’ve been a patient at Moriarty Chiropractic, you likely have!) Most migraine treatments are like putting a band-aid on a broken pipe – they might reduce the leak, but they're not repairing the real issue.
Cox® Technic is unique. It's gentle enough for people who don’t enjoy traditional chiropractic work, but powerful enough to break the migraine cycle that's been holding you hostage. Moriarty Chiropractic has this treatment for you!

YOUR NEXT STEP OUT OF MIGRAINE PRISON
We're not saying this will be your miracle cure – Sarah's case is just one success story. But if you're tired of living your life worried about your next migraine, if you're desperate for something that actually addresses the root cause instead of just masking symptoms, maybe it's time to turn your attention to your spine.
Fortunately, you can visit Dr. Kevin Moriarty who is trained in Cox® flexion-distraction. Your head might finally get the relief it's been begging for – and the answer might actually be right under your nose, in your back. You deserve to live without fear of the next migraine.

DR. MORIARTY INVOLVED IN RESEARCH STUDY

Dr. Kevin S. Moriarty has been selected to participate in a research study being conducted through Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Duke University and the University of Iowa. As a treating provider, he will be implementing the American College of Physicians Guideline for Low Back Pain. Low back pain is a key source of medical costs and disability, impacting over 31 million Americans at any given time and resulting in $200 billion per year in total healthcare costs. Low back pain is one of the leading causes of ambulatory care visits to a medical physician’s office. These visits often result in treatments such as opioids, surgery or advanced imaging that can lead to more harm than benefit. The American College of Physicians Guideline for Low Back Pain recommends patients receive non-pharmacological interventions as a first line treatment. Dr. Moriarty is a well-trained primary contact clinician with specific expertise in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. He routinely employees many of the nonpharmacological approaches recommended by the guideline, including spinal manipulation and exercise.

BACK PAIN RELIEF WITH NON-DRUG CHIROPRACTIC AND EXERCISE BENEFITS

Back pain patients want relief. When the pain is linked to a disc herniation, they desire that relief in the most effective, least invasive way possible, Moriarty Chiropractic is well practiced in back pain relief and the care of disc herniation with a combination of spinal manipulation treatment, nutrition and exercise. Back pain patients ready for back pain relief have a partner and exercise guide at our clinic.

NON-DRUG CHIROPRACTIC CARE
In chiropractic, non-pharmacological, non-drug treatment of herniated discs is the goal. The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management has progressed over the past 60+ years to offer hope to the disc herniation patient via a complete examination, informed diagnosis, and research-based treatment plan that incorporates non-pharmacological care: spinal manipulation, nutrition and exercise. Usually, a patient with a disc herniation is prompted to begin on day one with 3 gentle motion exercises. (Note: Don’t begin until your chiropractor shows you how to do them!) They are good for your spine, your pain, and your sense of control of the situation. So important!

EFFECTIVE AND COST-EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF BACK PAIN
A recent comparison study of non-pharmacological, non-drug care versus pharmacological drug care of non-acute low back pain uncovered the advantages of non-pharmacological care. The groups were analyzed before and after 9 weeks of care. The results showed better improvement in the non-pharmacological group at lower cost. The researchers concluded that a non-drug approach could be both cost effective and beneficial. Back pain patients with disc herniation can find hope in that! Moriarty Chiropractic is well-experienced in the non-drug care of back pain.

Chiropractic care is growing rapidly in both public and Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities, thanks to increasing patient demand and high satisfaction rates. A 2024 review of patient experiences by Newell et al in J Patient Exp highlighted how much people value chiropractic care, with many reporting better quality of life and a reduced need for opioids—a huge win given the focus on addressing the opioid crisis. Within VA facilities, chiropractic services are becoming a key part of personalized, holistic care for veterans, helping with both acute and chronic pain needs. Bensel et al reported in Plos One research within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) that shows that more veterans are turning to chiropractic care for effective, non-invasive solutions to manage chronic pain and musculoskeletal issues. This reflects a larger shift in healthcare, as patients and providers alike recognize chiropractic care as a proven, integrative approach to tackling common problems like back and neck pain. Both patients and public health leaders are seeing the important role chiropractic care plays in expanding access to safe, effective pain management. This growth not only shows a positive change in how chiropractic care is viewed but also opens up opportunities to integrate it further into healthcare systems, benefiting a wide range of patients. Great news!
