GENTLE IS BEST
Chronic low back pain reacts
more positively to gentle spinal manipulation than more forceful. A new
research paper reports 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 numerous different tests that
flexion distraction improved patient Visual Analog Scale ratings
of pain as well as Oswestry Disability Index
ratings of disability. The bottom line is that for chronic low back pain
patients, flexion distraction offered more
improvements in pain and function than HVLA. (1) It’s not
surprising that Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc appreciates Cox®
Technic! It’s gentle and helpful for chronic
back pain in addition to neck pain, sciatica, radicular arm
pain and many more spine pain conditions.

CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: B Vitamins Vital Through All Life Stages
Fort Wayne chiropractic patients: Take
notice of your folate and B-vitamin status throughout life! Your Fort Wayne
chiropractor will help you. Folic acid (vitamin B9) is suggested
to all pregnant women to decrease the risk of neural tube defects
in newborns. Low vitamin
B12 status is affiliated with an increased risk
of cognitive dysfunction, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. For some
people, making sure that ideal vitamin B status
may be tougher than for others. Older folks just don’t
absorb it optimally. A genetic variant (MRHFR) that is
a common folate B9 polymorphism is related to issues
like stroke. Good news! Of late a distinctive
interaction with riboflavin (vitamin B2) decreases the risk of
hypertension. (2) How’s your B status? Shall we
check that out together? Cox Chiropractic Medicine Inc will be ready to answer all
your questions about vitamin B and spinal nutrition.
