Carrolltown chiropractic care at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation is well-equipped for the pandemic of low back pain.

THE PANDEMIC OF LOW BACK PAIN

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

Carrolltown diabetic patients with neuropathy may benefit from checking their B vitamin deficiency.

Carrolltown CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

B Vitamins for Diabetic Nerve Pain

Chronic diabetic neuropathic pain is a challenge. Inflammation plays a role. Spinal proinflammatory cytokines have a part. A new study using rats demonstrated that B vitamins not only suppress but significantly overpower this pain by suppressing the proinflammatory cytokines. (2) Unfortunately, vitamin B12 deficiency is quite common among type II diabetic patients who take metformin, a common diabetic drug. (3) Researchers noted links to anemia and neuropathy with metformin use in diabetic patients. (4) Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation recommends that our diabetic patients are encouraged to check their vitamin B levels! B vitamins are very important for health!
