B Vitamins As Effective Helpers to Chiropractic Care of Radiculopathy
Vitamins for back pain? Vitamins for leg pain? Yes!
VITAMIN B FOR YOUNGER WOMEN
Younger Richmond women develop new bodies in their own bodies when pregnant. It is a big deal to form the body for a new person! Taking 400 mcg of folic acid daily decreases the risk of neural tube defects (like spine-related spina bifida and anencephaly) in the first 28 days of pregnancy by 50% to 70%. (1) It is advantageous to start life with as much favorable development as possible and to look after the body you have when young to support it as it grows older.
VITAMIN B FOR OLDER WOMEN’S SPINES
Older Richmond women feel some unique Richmond spinal and body issues. After menopause plasma homocysteine increases and elevates the risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis for women. Folic acid (vitamin B9) reduces the homocysteine levels (as well as the associated risks for disease). (2) Johnson Chiropractic is all about heart and bone health, too! Low levels of B vitamins are related to a higher risk of degenerative diseases like osteoporosis. (3) Research shows that B vitamins influence bone health likely because of their influence on total plasma homocysteine concentrations (TCHY). B12 and THCY may alter osteoclasts or osteoblasts or modulate collagen cross-linking in bone health. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) helps the body maintain normal nerve function. (4) Bone health and nerve function are surely integral to spine health and Richmond back pain incidence. Johnson Chiropractic witnesses it every day!
VITAMIN B FOR Richmond BACK PAIN RELIEF
Taking B vitamins can reduce the risk of adverse effects of taking NSAIDS to which many Richmond back pain sufferers turn to for some pain relief. (5) Adding a multivitamin to the treatment plan for pain relief for patients who are experiencing L5S1 vertebrogenic radiculopathy (sciatica) positively influences the pain relief outcomes. (6) Cases of vitamin B12 deficiency may come into the office with acute neurological symptoms but improve with vitamin B2 supplementation. (7) In patients who have sciatic leg pain for longer than one month, including vitamin B complex supplementation to the use of diclofenac (NSAID) furthered pain relief outcomes. (8) Johnson Chiropractic certainly enthusiastically shares such positive methods for better patient outcomes!
