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

Chronic low back pain reacts more positively to gentle spinal manipulation than more forceful. A new research paper conveys 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 improved 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 more improvements in pain and function than HVLA. (1) It’s not surprising that Most Chiropractic Clinic appreciates Cox® Technic! It is gentle and useful for chronic back pain as well as neck pain, sciatica, radicular arm pain and many other spine pain conditions.

Murfreesboro chiropractic patients: Take notice of your folate and B-vitamin status throughout life! Your Murfreesboro 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 chance of cognitive dysfunction, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. For some people, making sure that optimal vitamin B status may be harder than for others. Older folks just don’t absorb it optimally. A genetic variant (MRHFR) that is a common folate B9 polymorphism is related to issues like stroke. Good news! Recently a unique interaction with riboflavin (vitamin B2) reduces the risk of hypertension. (2) How’s your B status? Shall we check that out together?  Most Chiropractic Clinic will be ready to answer all your questions about vitamin B and spinal nutrition.
