April 2020 Healthy News from Satterwhite Chiropractic

Oxford chiropractic care at Satterwhite Chiropractic 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 recent report in Healthcare journal shares that “Low back pain is a pandemic and costly musculoskeletal condition in the United States.” This report considered the cost-effectiveness of chiropractic and physical therapy for low back pain. Curiously, their up-coming study is said to reveal if they reduce the use of more costly health services like surgery, injections, and ER visits. For the moment, 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 higher 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.

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

Oxford CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

B Vitamins for Diabetic Nerve Pain

Chronic diabetic neuropathic pain is challenging. Inflammation plays a part. Spinal proinflammatory cytokines have a part. A recent report about rats showed that B vitamins not only suppress but greatly suppress this pain by suppressing the proinflammatory cytokines. (2) Sadly, vitamin B12 deficiency is quite common in type II diabetic patients who are prescribed metformin, a common diabetic drug. (3) Researchers found links to anemia and neuropathy with metformin use in diabetic patients. (4) Satterwhite Chiropractic urges our diabetic patients are urged to check their vitamin B levels! B vitamins are quite important for health!
