April 2020 Healthy News from Manahawkin Chiropractic Center

Manahawkin chiropractic care at Manahawkin Chiropractic Center is prepared for the pandemic of low back pain.

THE PANDEMIC OF LOW BACK PAIN

Here is a pandemic chiropractic is built for: low back pain! A new report in Healthcare journal reports that “Low back pain is a pandemic and costly musculoskeletal condition in the United States.” This report looked at the cost-effectiveness of chiropractic and physical therapy for low back pain. Curiously, their up-coming study is set to determine 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 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 shown to be a cost-effective means to help adults with at least 3 weeks of low back pain over six months.

Manahawkin diabetic patients with neuropathy may benefit from addressing their B vitamin deficiency.

Manahawkin CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

B Vitamins for Diabetic Nerve Pain

Chronic diabetic neuropathic pain is tough. Inflammation has a role. Spinal proinflammatory cytokines play 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) 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) Manahawkin Chiropractic Center urges our diabetic patients are encouraged to test their vitamin B levels! B vitamins are quite important for health!
