Gentle New York City Chiropractic Treatment of Chronic Low Back Pain; B Vitamins Are Important

Chronic low back pain reacts more positively to gentle spinal manipulation than more forceful. A new research paper conveys 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 improved patient Visual Analog Scale ratings of pain in addition to Oswestry Disability Index ratings of disability. The bottom line is that for chronic low back pain patients, flexion distraction produced greater improvements in pain and function than HVLA. (1) It’s no wonder that Rosenberg Wellness Center values Cox® Technic! It is gentle and effective for chronic back pain in addition to neck pain, sciatica, radicular arm pain and many more spine pain conditions.

New York City chiropractic patients: Pay attention to your folate and B-vitamin status throughout life! Your New York City chiropractor is here for you. Folic acid (vitamin B9) is recommended to all pregnant women to decrease the risk of neural tube defects in babies.  Low vitamin B12 status is affiliated with an increased risk of cognitive dysfunction, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. For some people, ensuring ideal vitamin B status may be harder than for others. Older folks just don’t absorb it optimally. A genetic variant (MRHFR) that is a common folate B9 polymorphism is related to problems like stroke. Good news! Recently a unique interaction with riboflavin (vitamin B2) decreases the risk of hypertension. (2) How’s your B status? Shall we check that out together?  Rosenberg Wellness Center will be ready to answer all your questions about vitamin B and spinal nutrition.
