CHIROPRACTIC MANIPULATION FOR SPORTS-RELATED BACK PAIN
Low back pain in adult athletes is common with a lifetime prevalence of 63%.
The annual prevalence was 51%. Risk factors were a previous episode of low back pain, high training volume, and periods of load increase and exposure to such.
(1) How might it be treated? Physician members of the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine are recorded as using a variety of different complementary alternative medicine treatments for sports related pain issues. A recent survey of these physicians reported that 88% of the 11% who replied that they suggested CAM had done so for at least one type of CAM in the past year.
The top 3 types of CAM recommended were chiropractic/osteopathic manipulation, acupuncture/electroacupuncture and yoga. (2) Another study stated that 53.1% of physicians advocated at least one such CAM option in the past year. Massage therapy,
chiropractic/osteopathic manipulation, herbs/non-vitamin supplements, yoga, and acupuncture were most advocated. Family/general family practice physicians suggested chiropractic/osteopathic manipulation most often. Female more than male physicians were more prone to recommend massage, herbs/supplements, yoga, acupuncture, and mind-body therapies.
(3) Our chiropractic clinic invites all referrals and is grateful that our chiropractic spinal manipulation is high on the list of medical physician referrals! And our Cox® Technic spinal manipulation is safe, gentle and effective.

Montreal CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
Osteoporosis Preventative Diet and Nutrition
Osteoporosis develops later in life yet is preventable by modifying diet and lifestyle beginning in childhood. Improved nutrition and a decrease in consumption of sugar, saturated fat, sodium, and phosphorous are good starts. Adequate levels of vitamin D and calcium are quite important along with vitamins K, C, Bs, magnesium, potassium, iron, zinc, copper, fluorine, boron, silicon, and manganese. Diet recommendations include increased dairy, fish, fruits, and vegetables intake.
