CARE FOR MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN EARLY TO AVOID CHRONIC
DISEASES LATER
Musculoskeletal conditions, Vancouver back and neck pain and osteoarthritis of
the hip or knee, may precede chronic disease like cardiovascular
disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease or obesity. For instance, those|Vancouver
chiropractic patients who experience osteoarthritis seem
to have a higher risk of getting
cardiovascular disease. The latest report states
that those with musculoskeletal conditions enjoy a 17% higher risk of getting
a chronic disease. (1) What do the study’s authors propose?
Take care of musculoskeletal diseases early on in their development. Preventing and taking care
of 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 Vancouver
chiropractor at Vancouver Disc Centers urges you to take care of your Vancouver back pain and neck pain conditions
sooner than later and is ready to help our Vancouver
chiropractic patients!

with Dr. Vincent Pankonin on The Back Doctor’s Podcast with Dr.

chiropractic care using the Cox® Technic System.
TIP OF THE MONTH:
How Is Your Vitamin B12 Status?
Vitamin B12 maintains the health of nerves and blood cells. Mild B12 deficiency may be unnoticed.
More advanced B12 deficiency may produce anemia, fatigue,
pale skin, appetite drop, 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 be valuable. B12 may be received orally or via
injection. One injection study showed that B12 eased
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 Vancouver chiropractor about the best approach for you toward healthy B12 status!
