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

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 improved patient Visual Analog Scale ratings of pain as well as Oswestry Disability Index ratings of disability. The bottom line is that for chronic low back pain patients, flexion distraction produced greater improvements in pain and function than HVLA. (1) It is no wonder that Aaron Chiropractic Clinic appreciates Cox® Technic! It’s gentle and effective for chronic back pain as well as neck pain, sciatica, radicular arm pain and many other spine pain conditions.

Fort Wayne chiropractic patients: Pay attention to your folate and B-vitamin status throughout life! Your Fort Wayne chiropractor is here for you. Folic acid (vitamin B9) is recommended to all pregnant women to decrease the risk of neural tube defects in newborns.  Low vitamin B12 status is affiliated with a higher 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 do not 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) reduces the risk of hypertension. (2) How is your B status? Shall we check that out together?  Aaron Chiropractic Clinic will be ready to address any concerns you may have about vitamin B and spinal nutrition.
