Gentle Fernandina Beach Chiropractic Treatment of Chronic Low Back Pain; B Vitamins Are Important

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 several different tests that flexion distraction improved 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 produced greater improvements in pain and function than HVLA. (1) It’s no wonder that Amelia Chiropractic Clinic appreciates Cox® Technic! It is gentle and helpful for chronic back pain in addition to neck pain, sciatica, radicular arm pain and many other spine pain conditions.

Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients: Take notice of your folate and B-vitamin status throughout life! Your Fernandina Beach chiropractor is here for you. Folic acid (vitamin B9) is suggested to all pregnant women to reduce the risk of neural tube defects in babies.  Low vitamin B12 status is affiliated with an increased risk of cognitive dysfunction, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. For some people, ensuring ideal vitamin B status may be harder than for others. Older folks just don’t absorb it very well. A genetic variant (MRHFR) that is a common folate B9 polymorphism is related to conditions like stroke. Good news! Of late a unique interaction with riboflavin (vitamin B2) decreases the risk of hypertension. (2) How is your B status? Shall we check that out together?  Amelia Chiropractic Clinic will be ready to answer all your questions about vitamin B and spinal nutrition.
