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

Montreal chiropractic care at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic is prepared for the pandemic of low back pain.

THE PANDEMIC OF LOW BACK PAIN

Here’s a pandemic chiropractic is made 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. Interestingly, their next study is set to reveal if they reduce the need for expensive 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 higher for chiropractic than PT patients. They concluded that chiropractic was shown to be a cost-effective means to help adults with at least 3 weeks of low back pain over 6 months.

Montreal diabetic patients with neuropathy may benefit from checking their B vitamin deficiency.

Montreal CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

B Vitamins for Diabetic Neuropathy

Chronic diabetic neuropathic pain is challenging. Inflammation has a role. Spinal proinflammatory cytokines play a role. A new study using rats showed that B vitamins not only suppress but significantly overpower this pain by curbing the proinflammatory cytokines. (2) Sadly, 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!
