April 2020 Healthy News from Apple Country Chiropractic

Williamson chiropractic care at Apple Country Chiropractic is well-equipped for the pandemic of low back pain.

THE PANDEMIC OF LOW BACK PAIN

Here’s a pandemic chiropractic is made for: low back pain! A new report in Healthcare journal shares 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 said to determine if they decrease the use of more costly health services like surgery, injections, and ER visits. For now, though, they discovered that the total average cost was $48.56 less for chiropractic care than PT and the daily adjusted life years was 0.0043 higher for chiropractic than PT patients. They concluded that chiropractic was confirmed to be a cost-effective means to help adults with at least 3 weeks of low back pain over 6 months.

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

Williamson CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

B Vitamins for Diabetic Neuropathy

Chronic diabetic neuropathic pain is challenging. Inflammation has a role. Spinal proinflammatory cytokines play a part. A recent study using rats showed that B vitamins not only suppress but significantly subdue this pain by suppressing the proinflammatory cytokines. (2) Unfortunately, vitamin B12 deficiency is quite common among type II diabetic patients who are prescribed metformin, a common diabetic drug. (3) Researchers noted links to anemia and neuropathy with metformin use in diabetic patients. (4) Apple Country Chiropractic recommends that our diabetic patients are encouraged to check their vitamin B levels! B vitamins are very important for health!
