April 2020 Healthy News from Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic

Here is a pandemic chiropractic is built for: low back pain! A new report in Healthcare journal reports that “Low back pain is a pandemic and costly musculoskeletal condition in the United States.” This report compared the cost-effectiveness of chiropractic and physical therapy for low back pain. Curiously, their next study is said to reveal if they decrease the need for more costly health services like surgery, injections, and ER visits. For now, though, they discovered 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 confirmed to be a cost-effective means to help adults with at least 3 weeks of low back pain over six months.

Montreal CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

B Vitamins for Diabetic Nerve Pain

Chronic diabetic neuropathic pain is tough. Inflammation has a part. Spinal proinflammatory cytokines have a part. A recent study using rats showed that B vitamins not only suppress but significantly suppress this pain by curbing the proinflammatory cytokines. (2) Unfortunately, vitamin B12 deficiency is very 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) Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic urges our diabetic patients are encouraged to check their vitamin B levels! B vitamins are quite important for health!
