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

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

GENTLE IS BEST

Chronic low back pain reacts more positively to gentle spinal manipulation than more forceful. A new research paper states 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’s not surprising that Arctic Chiropractic, Sitka appreciates Cox® Technic! It is gentle and helpful for chronic back pain in addition to neck pain, sciatica, radicular arm pain and many other spine pain conditions.

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

Sitka chiropractic patients: Pay attention to your folate and B-vitamin status throughout life! Your Sitka chiropractor is here for you. Folic acid (vitamin B9) is suggested 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 optimal vitamin B status may be tougher than for others. Older folks just do not absorb it properly. A genetic variant (MRHFR) that is a common folate B9 polymorphism is connected to problems like stroke. Good news! Of late a distinctive interaction with riboflavin (vitamin B2) reduces the risk of hypertension. (2) How is your B status? Shall we check that out together?
