CARE FOR MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN EARLY TO AVOID CHRONIC
DISEASES LATER
Musculoskeletal conditions, Sitka 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. Such as, those|Sitka
chiropractic patients with osteoarthritis appear have a higher risk of developing
cardiovascular disease. The latest study reports
that patients with musculoskeletal conditions enjoy a 17% increased risk of developing
a chronic disease. (1) What do the study’s researchers 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 not yet known. Your Sitka

handle on your Sitka back pain and neck pain issues

TIP OF THE MONTH:
How’s Your Vitamin B12 Status?
Vitamin B12 keeps
the nerves and blood cells healthy. Mild B12 deficiency may be unnoticed.
More advanced B12 deficiency may result in anemia, tiredness,
pale skin, appetite drop, constipation, diarrhea, heart
palpitations, etc. One bothersome condition related
to B12 deficiency is subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord after
nitrous oxide anesthesia. (2) Recovering B12 status
can be valuable. B12 may be received orally or via
injection. One injection study revealed that B12 eased
low back pain and disability and reduced patients’ consumption
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 Sitka chiropractor about the best way for you to
maintain a healthy B12 status!
