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

Gentle Groton chiropractic treatment of chronic low back pain is superior.

GENTLE IS BEST

Chronic low back pain responds 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 increased 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 offered greater improvements in pain and function than HVLA. (1) It is not surprising that Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office appreciates Cox® Technic! It’s gentle and effective for chronic back pain as well as neck pain, sciatica, radicular arm pain and many more spine pain conditions.

Groton CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: B Vitamins Vital Through All Life Stages

Groton chiropractic patients: Pay attention to your folate and B-vitamin status throughout life! Your Groton chiropractor is here for you. Folic acid (vitamin B9) is recommended to all pregnant women to decrease the risk of neural tube defects in babies. Low vitamin B12 status is associated 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 properly. A genetic variant (MRHFR) that is a common folate B9 polymorphism is connected to problems like stroke. Good news! Recently a unique interaction with riboflavin (vitamin B2) decreases the risk of hypertension. (2) How is your B status? Shall we check that out together? Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office will be ready to address any concerns you may have about vitamin B and spinal nutrition.
