THE PANDEMIC OF LOW BACK PAIN

Here’s a pandemic chiropractic is made for: low back pain! A new study in Healthcare journal presents 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 up-coming study is set to ascertain 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 greater for chiropractic than PT patients. They deduced 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.

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

Manchester CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

B Vitamins for Diabetic Nerve Pain

Chronic diabetic neuropathic pain is tough. Inflammation plays a role. Spinal proinflammatory cytokines have a role. A recent report about rats demonstrated that B vitamins not only suppress but significantly overpower this pain by suppressing the proinflammatory cytokines. (2) Unfortunately, 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) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries recommends that our diabetic patients are urged to test their vitamin B levels! B vitamins are very important for health!
