Manchester chiropractic care at Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries 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 study in Healthcare journal shares that “Low back pain is a pandemic and costly musculoskeletal condition in the United States.” This report compared the cost-effectiveness of chiropractic and physical therapy for low back pain. Interestingly, their next study is said to ascertain if they decrease the need for more costly 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 greater for chiropractic than PT patients. They determined that chiropractic was shown to be a cost-effective way to ease low back pain in adults with at least 3 weeks of low back pain over 6 months.

Manchester CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

B Vitamins for Diabetic Nerve Pain

Chronic diabetic neuropathic pain is tough. Inflammation has a part. Spinal proinflammatory cytokines have a role. A new study using rats demonstrated that B vitamins not only suppress but significantly overpower this pain by curbing the proinflammatory cytokines. (2) Sadly, vitamin B12 deficiency is very common among type II diabetic patients who take metformin, a common diabetic drug. (3) Researchers found associations of anemia and neuropathy with metformin use in diabetic patients. (4) Manchester Chiropractic & Sports Injuries recommends that our diabetic patients are encouraged to test their vitamin B levels! B vitamins are very important for health!
