THE PANDEMIC OF LOW BACK PAIN
Here is a pandemic chiropractic is made
for: low back pain! A recent study in Healthcare journal
presents that “Low back pain is a pandemic and costly
musculoskeletal condition in the United States.” This report considered the cost-effectiveness of chiropractic and physical
therapy for low back pain. Interestingly, their next
study is said to ascertain if they decrease
the need for more costly health services like
surgery, injections, and ER visits. For the moment, though, they found
that the total average cost was $48.56 lower for chiropractic care
than PT and the daily adjusted life years was 0.0043 greater for
chiropractic than PT patients. They determined that
chiropractic was shown to be a cost-effective means
to ease low back pain in adults with at least 3 weeks of low back
pain over six months. (1) Come to Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation to find out for

Baton Rouge CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
B Vitamins for Diabetic Neuropathy
Chronic diabetic neuropathic pain is a
challenge. Inflammation has a role. Spinal
proinflammatory cytokines have a role. A new
report about rats demonstrated that B vitamins
not only suppress but significantly subdue
this pain by curbing the proinflammatory cytokines. (2) Unfortunately,
vitamin B12 deficiency is quite common among type II
diabetic patients who are prescribed metformin, a common diabetic
drug. (3) Researchers found links to anemia
and neuropathy with metformin use in diabetic patients. (4) Capitol Spine & Rehabilitation recommends
that our diabetic patients are encouraged to check
their vitamin B levels! B vitamins are quite important for health!
