Wisdom comes through experience. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic appreciates
the wisdom passed down from past clinical back
pain specialists who decided to write about their experiences in
treating back pain. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic especially values
how they incorporated nutrition into the back pain
relief treatment plan. The education your McHenry
chiropractor obtained in chiropractic school
pointed out how important
nutrition is to health and particularly the health of
the spine. New nutrition papers today
about the value of vitamins and minerals in treating back
pain built on the older ones benefitting today’s
McHenry back pain patient greatly!
NUTRITION’S HISTORICAL INFLUENCE IN BACK PAIN CARE
Nutrition as a part of the care of spinal
pain conditions is not new. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic knows
that. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic follows reports about nutrition in the spine
literature. Dr. Cox, developer of Cox Technic flexion distraction, wrote of
it back in 1993 (and even earlier). (1) A French researcher reported the benefits of vitamin B back in 1968.
(2) Another researcher in 1985 suggested the
connection between spinal canal size (as a small canal size does not
permit much room for a disc herniation, predisposing
a person to higher risk of low back pain) and infant
malnutrition. (3) The famed spine researcher, Alf
Nachemson, MD, pointed out that nutrition of the intervertebral
disc is improved by introducing motion to the
spine. (4) OrthoIllinois Chiropractic’s treatment of the spine involves
just that, motion. Cox Technic, the McHenry chiropractic treatment method
OrthoIllinois Chiropractic uses, generates motion in
the spine, segment by segment. Nutrition renders a positive
change in a person’s health state. Nutrition brings
about a welcomed difference in the McHenry
health of the spine. Nutrition may affect helpfully
the course of McHenry back pain relief and prevention.
TODAY: MULTIVITAMINS HELP
A recent medical research paper
reports on the benefit of multivitamin
nutrition for remedying disc herniation with
radiculopathy (aka a pinched nerve of the spine causing extremity pain), a
condition OrthoIllinois Chiropractic welcomes into its McHenry
chiropractic practice! A randomized trial of 100
patients who have this condition examined
how well treatment alone and how well treatment plus a multivitamin nutrition
supplement (with vitamins like B6, B12 and others) modified
their pain, disability and requirement for NSAID drugs. The
authors found that including
a multivitamin enhanced the treatment outcomes. (5)
Adding a nutritional element to the treatment seems unassuming,
but it does prove to be very effective for
McHenry chiropractic patients with back pain, neck pain, and
radiculopathy. OrthoIllinois Chiropractic creates such a nutritional section
to the McHenry chiropractic treatment plan just for you, the
McHenry chiropractic patient.
