THE PANDEMIC OF LOW BACK PAIN
Here is a pandemic chiropractic is made
for: low back pain! A recent report in Healthcare journal
shares that “Low back pain is a pandemic and costly
musculoskeletal condition in the United States.” This report compared the cost-effectiveness of chiropractic and physical
therapy for low back pain. Interestingly, their next
study is said to ascertain if they reduce
the need for expensive health services like
surgery, injections, and ER visits. For now, 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 determined that
chiropractic was confirmed to be a cost-effective means
to help adults with at least 3 weeks of low back
pain over six months. (1) Come to Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC to find out for

La Grande CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:
B Vitamins for Diabetic Neuropathy
Chronic diabetic neuropathic pain is a
challenge. Inflammation has a role. Spinal
proinflammatory cytokines have a part. A new
study using rats demonstrated that B vitamins
not only suppress but greatly overpower
this pain by curbing the proinflammatory cytokines. (2) Sadly,
vitamin B12 deficiency is quite common in type II
diabetic patients who are prescribed metformin, a common diabetic
drug. (3) Researchers noted links to anemia
and neuropathy with metformin use in diabetic patients. (4) Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC recommends
that our diabetic patients are encouraged to test
their vitamin B levels! B vitamins are quite important for health!
