April 2020 Healthy News from Amelia Chiropractic Clinic

Fernandina Beach chiropractic care at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic is prepared 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 recent report in Healthcare journal shares that “Low back pain is a pandemic and costly musculoskeletal condition in the United States.” This study considered the cost-effectiveness of chiropractic and physical therapy for low back pain. Interestingly, their next study is set to reveal if they decrease the use of expensive health services like surgery, injections, and ER visits. For now, though, they found 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 shown to be a cost-effective way to help adults with at least 3 weeks of low back pain over 6 months.

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

Fernandina Beach CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

B Vitamins for Diabetic Nerve Pain

Chronic diabetic neuropathic pain is a challenge. Inflammation plays a part. Spinal proinflammatory cytokines have a part. A recent report about rats showed that B vitamins not only suppress but significantly suppress this pain by curbing the proinflammatory cytokines. (2) Sadly, vitamin B12 deficiency is very 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) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic recommends that our diabetic patients are encouraged to check their vitamin B levels! B vitamins are very important for health!
