GENTLE IS BEST
Chronic low back pain reacts
more positively to gentle spinal manipulation than more forceful. A new
research paper conveys that for chronic low back pain
patients, gentle flexion-distraction (aka Cox® Technic) is superior to high
velocity low amplitude thrust (HVLA), a common form of manipulation. The
randomized clinical trial found via numerous different tests that
flexion distraction increased patient Visual Analog Scale ratings
of pain along with Oswestry Disability Index
ratings of disability. The bottom line is that for chronic low back pain
patients, flexion distraction offered greater
improvements in pain and function than HVLA. (1) It is not
surprising that Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation appreciates Cox®
Technic! It is gentle and helpful for chronic
back pain as well as neck pain, sciatica, radicular arm
pain and many other spine pain conditions.

CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: B Vitamins Vital Through All Life Stages
Tonawanda chiropractic patients: Pay attention to your folate and B-vitamin status throughout life! Your Tonawanda
chiropractor is here for you. Folic acid (vitamin B9) is recommended
to all pregnant women to reduce the risk of neural tube defects
in babies. Low vitamin
B12 status is affiliated with a higher chance
of cognitive dysfunction, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. For some
people, ensuring optimal vitamin B status
may be tougher than for others. Older folks just do not
absorb it very well. A genetic variant (MRHFR) that is
a common folate B9 polymorphism is connected to problems
like stroke. Good news! Of late a distinctive
interaction with riboflavin (vitamin B2) reduces the risk of
hypertension. (2) How’s your B status? Shall we
check that out together? Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation will be ready to address any concerns you may have about vitamin B and spinal nutrition.
