April 2020 Healthy News from Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation

Tonawanda chiropractic care at Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation is prepared for the pandemic of low back pain.

THE PANDEMIC OF LOW BACK PAIN

Here is a pandemic chiropractic is built for: low back pain! A new study in Healthcare journal reports that “Low back pain is a pandemic and costly musculoskeletal condition in the United States.” This report considered the cost-effectiveness of chiropractic and physical therapy for low back pain. Curiously, their up-coming study is set to determine if they reduce the need for expensive health services like surgery, injections, and ER visits. For the moment, though, they found that the total average cost was $48.56 lower for chiropractic care than PT and the daily adjusted life years was 0.0043 greater for chiropractic than PT patients. They determined that chiropractic was confirmed to be a cost-effective means to ease low back pain in adults with at least 3 weeks of low back pain over six months.

Tonawanda diabetic patients with neuropathy may benefit from addressing their B vitamin deficiency.

Tonawanda CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

B Vitamins for Diabetic Neuropathy

Chronic diabetic neuropathic pain is challenging. Inflammation has a part. Spinal proinflammatory cytokines play a role. A new report about rats demonstrated that B vitamins not only suppress but greatly overpower this pain by suppressing the proinflammatory cytokines. (2) Unfortunately, vitamin B12 deficiency is quite common in type II diabetic patients who are prescribed metformin, a common diabetic drug. (3) Researchers noted associations of anemia and neuropathy with metformin use in diabetic patients. (4) Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation recommends that our diabetic patients are urged to check their vitamin B levels! B vitamins are quite important for health!
