Gentle Ashburn and Herndon Chiropractic Treatment of Chronic Low Back Pain; B Vitamins Are Important

Gentle Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic treatment of chronic low back pain is superior.

GENTLE IS BEST

Chronic low back pain responds more positively to gentle spinal manipulation than more forceful. A new research paper states that for chronic low back pain patients, gentle flexion-distraction (aka Cox® Technic) is superior to high velocity low amplitude thrust (HVLA), a common form of manipulation. The randomized clinical trial found via several different tests that flexion distraction increased patient Visual Analog Scale ratings of pain along with Oswestry Disability Index ratings of disability. The bottom line is that for chronic low back pain patients, flexion distraction offered greater improvements in pain and function than HVLA. (1) It’s no wonder that Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn appreciates Cox® Technic! It is gentle and effective for chronic back pain in addition to neck pain, sciatica, radicular arm pain and many other spine pain conditions.

Ashburn and Herndon CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: B Vitamins Vital Through All Life Stages

Ashburn and Herndon chiropractic patients: Pay attention to your folate and B-vitamin status throughout life! Your Ashburn and Herndon chiropractor will help you. Folic acid (vitamin B9) is suggested to all pregnant women to decrease the risk of neural tube defects in newborns.  Low vitamin B12 status is affiliated with an increased chance of cognitive dysfunction, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. For some people, ensuring optimal vitamin B status may be harder than for others. Older folks just don’t absorb it properly. A genetic variant (MRHFR) that is a common folate B9 polymorphism is related to issues like stroke. Good news! Of late a distinctive interaction with riboflavin (vitamin B2) decreases the risk of hypertension. (2) How’s your B status? Shall we check that out together?  Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn will be ready to address any concerns you may have about vitamin B and spinal nutrition.
