THE PANDEMIC OF LOW BACK PAIN
Here is 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 study considered the cost-effectiveness of chiropractic and physical
therapy for low back pain. Curiously, their next
study is said to determine if they decrease
the need for expensive health services like
surgery, injections, and ER visits. For the moment, though, they discovered
that the total average cost was $48.56 less 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 confirmed to be a cost-effective way
to help adults with at least 3 weeks of low back
pain over six months. (1) Come to Palmer Chiropractic Center to find out for

Lynchburg CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
B Vitamins for Diabetic Nerve Pain
Chronic diabetic neuropathic pain is tough. 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 suppressing the proinflammatory cytokines. (2) Sadly,
vitamin B12 deficiency is very common among type II
diabetic patients who take metformin, a common diabetic
drug. (3) Researchers found links to anemia
and neuropathy with metformin use in diabetic patients. (4) Palmer Chiropractic Center recommends
that our diabetic patients are encouraged to test
their vitamin B levels! B vitamins are very important for health!
