CARE FOR MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN EARLY TO AVOID CHRONIC
DISEASES LATER
Musculoskeletal conditions like Carrolltown back and 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|Carrolltown
chiropractic patients who have osteoarthritis seem
to have a higher risk of developing
cardiovascular disease. The newest study reports
that patients with musculoskeletal conditions have
a 17% increased chance of getting
a chronic disease. (1) What do the study’s researchers propose?
Manage musculoskeletal diseases at the
beginning in their development. Preventing and treating these musculoskeletal conditions early
may help prevent the development of chronic diseases later. Just what the connection is between musculoskeletal
conditions and chronic disease risk is not yet known. Your Carrolltown
chiropractor at Gormish Chiropractic & Rehabilitation encourages you to get a
handle on your Carrolltown back pain and neck pain conditions
sooner than later and is ready to help our Carrolltown
chiropractic patients!

TIP OF THE MONTH:
How’s Your Vitamin B12 Level?
Vitamin B12 keeps
the nerves and blood cells healthy. Mild B12 deficiency may be unnoticed.
More advanced B12 deficiency may produce anemia, fatigue,
pale skin, appetite decrease, constipation, diarrhea, heart
palpitations, etc. One concerning condition linked
to B12 deficiency is subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord after
nitrous oxide anesthesia. (2) Recovering B12 level
can help. B12 may be delivered orally or via
injection. One injection study revealed that B12 relieved
low back pain and disability and reduced patients’ consumption
of paracetamol for pain relief. (3) B12 deficiency may be avoided by
having meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, and eggs or taking
B12 supplements. Talk with your Carrolltown chiropractor about the best approach for you toward healthy B12 status!
