THE PANDEMIC OF LOW BACK PAIN
Here’s a pandemic chiropractic is built
for: low back pain! A recent study in Healthcare journal
shares that “Low back pain is a pandemic and costly
musculoskeletal condition in the United States.” This report looked
at the cost-effectiveness of chiropractic and physical
therapy for low back pain. Curiously, their next
study is set to determine if they decrease
the need for more costly 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 greater for
chiropractic than PT patients. They deduced that
chiropractic was confirmed to be a cost-effective means
to ease low back pain in adults with at least 3 weeks of low back
pain over 6 months. (1) Come to Layden Chiropractic to find out for

Plainville CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
B Vitamins for Diabetic Neuropathy
Chronic diabetic neuropathic pain is challenging. Inflammation has a part. Spinal
proinflammatory cytokines play 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 quite common in 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) Layden Chiropractic recommends
that our diabetic patients are urged to test
their vitamin B levels! B vitamins are quite important for health!
