April 2020 Healthy News from Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc

Fort Wayne chiropractic care at Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc 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 new study in Healthcare journal reports that “Low back pain is a pandemic and costly musculoskeletal condition in the United States.” This study looked at the cost-effectiveness of chiropractic and physical therapy for low back pain. Curiously, their next study is set to ascertain if they reduce the need for expensive health services like surgery, injections, and ER visits. For now, though, they found 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 concluded that chiropractic was shown to be a cost-effective means to help adults with at least 3 weeks of low back pain over 6 months.

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

Fort Wayne 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 part. A recent report about rats showed that B vitamins not only suppress but significantly subdue this pain by suppressing the proinflammatory cytokines. (2) Unfortunately, vitamin B12 deficiency is very common in type II diabetic patients who are prescribed metformin, a common diabetic drug. (3) Researchers found associations of anemia and neuropathy with metformin use in diabetic patients. (4) Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc recommends that our diabetic patients are urged to test their vitamin B levels! B vitamins are very important for health!

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. James Cox, developer of the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management, on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he presents research on how the immune system works as well as how spinal manipulation influences neuropathic pain pathways.
