CARE FOR MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN EARLY TO AVOID CHRONIC
DISEASES LATER
Musculoskeletal conditions like McHenry neck and back 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|McHenry
chiropractic patients who have osteoarthritis seem
to have a higher risk of developing
cardiovascular disease. The newest study states
that patients with musculoskeletal conditions have
a 17% increased risk of acquiring
a chronic disease. (1) What do the study’s authors suggest?
Manage musculoskeletal diseases early on in their development. Preventing and treating these musculoskeletal conditions in a timely fashion
may help prevent the development of chronic diseases later. Just what the connection is between musculoskeletal
conditions and chronic disease risk is yet unknown. Your McHenry
chiropractor at OrthoIllinois Chiropractic urges you to address your McHenry back pain and neck pain conditions
sooner than later and is ready to help our McHenry
chiropractic patients!

with Dr. Vincent Pankonin on The Back Doctor’s Podcast with Dr.
Michael Johnson about chronic back pain and its McHenry
chiropractic care using the Cox® Technic System.
TIP OF THE MONTH:
How Is 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, fatigue,
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) Improving B12 status
can help. B12 may be delivered orally or via
injection. One injection study revealed that B12 eased
low back pain and disability and lowered 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 McHenry chiropractor about the best way for you to
maintain a healthy B12 status!
