August 2021 Healthy News from Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic welcomes all spine pain patients! Spine pain is disconcerting for its sufferers. Fort Wayne chiropractic spinal manipulation is beneficial for many. Though low back pain is a major cause of disability globally, its sufferers who have persistent or recurrent episodes of low back pain realize that chiropractic maintenance care is beneficial as it is patient-centered care. (1) Neck pain sufferers, too, discover relief with chiropractic. Neck pain patients who undergo spinal manipulation – 90% of which is delivered by chiropractors in the US – were found to be 2.38 times less likely to need higher level and more expensive care like imaging, injection, emergency room or surgery (just 26%) than patients who were treated with other type of care (46%). (2) A recent study of Medicare patient claims reveals that patients who had decreased access to chiropractic care had an increase in visits (32.3 a year) to primary care physicians for spine pain and an increase in spine surgeries (5.5 a year) costing an extra $114,967 per 1000 Medicare beneficiaries and $391 million nationally. (3) Your Fort Wayne chiropractor is well-experienced in performing spinal manipulation. Spinal manipulation is and has been advised as first-line treatment for low back pain. Medicare claims’ reviews point out that chiropractors are the majority of healthcare providers for spinal manipulation and that the overall supply of spinal manipulation providers is dropping. (4) Do not worry! Your hometown, Fort Wayne chiropractor does not intend to stop providing pain-relieving spinal manipulation, particularly the gentle, research-backed Cox® Technic style of spinal manipulation.
Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Kurt Olding on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he discusses the place of spinal manipulation in the Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management for the relief of spinal stenosis, a common spine pain condition in the over-65 age set.
Beneficial B Vitamins
The benefits of B vitamins is undeniable. B12 deficiency is often associated with dementia in patients over 65 years of age. It has also been found in younger people who have normal B12 levels but have a high methylmalonic acid (MMA) level. Testing the MMA level may be a useful test in patients with symptoms that seem unrelated as in one patient with neuropathy, depression and stomach issues who tested a high level of MMA. (5) Biotin (B7) supplementation is showing potential in the treatment of neuropathic pain and could reduce the necessary doses of analgesic drugs. (6) Riboflavin (B2) in foods and via supplements is renowned for its antioxidant, anti-cancer, and anti-inflammatory effects among others. A new study reported that B2 offers anti-itch properties. (7) Are your B levels good? Let’s talk at your next visit!
