Gentle Juneau Chiropractic Treatment of Chronic Low Back Pain; B Vitamins Are Important

Chronic low back pain reacts more positively to gentle spinal manipulation than more forceful. A new research paper conveys 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 in addition to Oswestry Disability Index ratings of disability. The bottom line is that for chronic low back pain patients, flexion distraction produced more improvements in pain and function than HVLA. (1) It is not surprising that Aurora Chiropractic Center appreciates Cox® Technic! It is gentle and effective for chronic back pain in addition to neck pain, sciatica, radicular arm pain and many other spine pain conditions.

Juneau chiropractic patients: Take notice of your folate and B-vitamin status throughout life! Your Juneau chiropractor will help you. Folic acid (vitamin B9) is suggested to all pregnant women to reduce the risk of neural tube defects in newborns. Low vitamin B12 status is affiliated with an increased chance of cognitive dysfunction, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. For some people, ensuring ideal vitamin B status may be harder than for others. Older folks just don’t absorb it very well. A genetic variant (MRHFR) that is a common folate B9 polymorphism is connected to conditions like stroke. Good news! Of late a distinctive interaction with riboflavin (vitamin B2) decreases the risk of hypertension. (2) How is your B status? Shall we check that out together?
