Gentle San Jose 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 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 as well as 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 is not surprising that Chiropractic Solutions values Cox® Technic! It’s gentle and helpful for chronic back pain as well as neck pain, sciatica, radicular arm pain and many more spine pain conditions.

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 reduce the risk of neural tube defects in newborns.  Low vitamin B12 status is affiliated 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 related 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?
