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

Gentle San Jose 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 several different tests that flexion distraction improved patient Visual Analog Scale ratings of pain along with Oswestry Disability Index ratings of disability. The bottom line is that for chronic low back pain patients, flexion distraction produced more improvements in pain and function than HVLA. (1) It is not surprising that Chiropractic Solutions appreciates Cox® Technic! It is gentle and helpful for chronic back pain in addition to neck pain, sciatica, radicular arm pain and many more spine pain conditions.

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

San Jose chiropractic patients: Take notice of your folate and B-vitamin status throughout life! Your San Jose chiropractor will help 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 chance of cognitive dysfunction, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. For some people, ensuring optimal vitamin B status may be tougher than for others. Older folks just don’t absorb it very well. A genetic variant (MRHFR) that is a common folate B9 polymorphism is connected to issues like stroke. Good news! Of late a distinctive interaction with riboflavin (vitamin B2) decreases the risk of hypertension. (2) How’s your B status? Let’s find out!  Chiropractic Solutions will be ready to address any concerns you may have about vitamin B and spinal nutrition.
