CARE FOR MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN EARLY TO AVOID CHRONIC
DISEASES LATER
Musculoskeletal conditions like Richmond back
pain, neck pain and osteoarthritis of
the hip or knee, may lead to chronic disease like cardiovascular
disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease or obesity. For example, those|Richmond
chiropractic patients with osteoarthritis seem
to have an elevated risk of getting
cardiovascular disease. The newest study reports
that those who have musculoskeletal conditions have
a 17% higher possibility of developing
a chronic disease. (1) What do the study’s authors propose?
Take care of musculoskeletal diseases early on in their development. Preventing and treating these musculoskeletal conditions early
may help avoid the development of chronic diseases in the
future. Just what the connection is between musculoskeletal
conditions and chronic disease risk is yet unknown. Your Richmond
chiropractor at Johnson Chiropractic encourages you to get a
handle on your Richmond back pain and neck pain issues
sooner than later and is here to help our Richmond
chiropractic patients!
Listen to this PODCAST
with Dr. Vincent Pankonin on The Back Doctor’s Podcast with Dr.
Michael Johnson about chronic back pain and its Richmond
chiropractic care using the Cox® Technic System.
TIP OF THE MONTH:
How’s Your Vitamin B12 Level?
Vitamin B12 keeps
the nerves and blood cells healthy. Mild B12 deficiency may be undetected.
More advanced B12 deficiency may produce anemia, tiredness,
pale skin, appetite drop, constipation, diarrhea, heart
palpitations, etc. One bothersome condition linked
to B12 deficiency is subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord after
nitrous oxide anesthesia. (2) Improving B12 level
can be valuable. B12 may be received orally or via
injection. One injection study showed that B12 relieved
low back pain and disability and reduced patients’ use
of paracetamol for pain relief. (3) B12 deficiency may be evaded by
eating meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, and eggs or taking
B12 supplements. Talk with your Richmond chiropractor about the best way for you to
maintain a healthy B12 status!
