CARE FOR MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN EARLY TO AVOID CHRONIC
DISEASES LATER
Musculoskeletal conditions, Pflugerville 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|Pflugerville
chiropractic patients with osteoarthritis appear have a higher risk of acquiring
cardiovascular disease. The latest study reports
that patients who have musculoskeletal conditions enjoy a 17% higher chance of getting
a chronic disease. (1) What do the study’s authors propose?
Manage musculoskeletal diseases early on in their development. Preventing and treating these musculoskeletal conditions early
may help avoid the development of chronic diseases later. Just what the connection is between musculoskeletal
conditions and chronic disease risk is yet unknown. Your Pflugerville
chiropractor at Pflugerville Wellness Center encourages you to get a
handle on your Pflugerville back pain and neck pain conditions
sooner than later and is ready to help our Pflugerville
chiropractic patients!

TIP OF THE MONTH:
How Is Your Vitamin B12 Level?
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 concerning condition linked
to B12 deficiency is subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord after
nitrous oxide anesthesia. (2) Improving B12 level
can help. B12 may be delivered 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 avoided by
eating meat, poultry, seafood, dairy products, and eggs or taking
B12 supplements. Talk with your Pflugerville chiropractor about the best approach for you toward healthy B12 status!
