Groton chiropractic care at Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office is prepared for the pandemic of low back pain.

THE PANDEMIC OF LOW BACK PAIN

Here is a pandemic chiropractic is made for: low back pain! A new study in Healthcare journal presents 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 set to determine if they decrease the need for more costly health services like surgery, injections, and ER visits. For the moment, though, they discovered 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 deduced that chiropractic was confirmed to be a cost-effective way to help adults with at least 3 weeks of low back pain over six months.

Groton CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

B Vitamins for Diabetic Nerve Pain

Chronic diabetic neuropathic pain is challenging. Inflammation has a part. Spinal proinflammatory cytokines play a part. A new study using rats showed that B vitamins not only suppress but greatly subdue this pain by curbing the proinflammatory cytokines. (2) Unfortunately, vitamin B12 deficiency is very common in type II diabetic patients who take metformin, a common diabetic drug. (3) Researchers found associations of anemia and neuropathy with metformin use in diabetic patients. (4) Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office urges our diabetic patients are urged to check their vitamin B levels! B vitamins are very important for health!
