Vancouver Healthy News - October 2020

Best practice recommendations based on best available scientific evidence for Vancouver chiropractic patients with uncomplicated neck pain as well as those with neck pain with headache or radicular arm pain state that chiropractic manipulation and multimodal care are recommended. (1) A recent study of 288 chiropractors found that almost a third of their chiropractic patients are older adults over the age of 65. Of these persons, 45.5% experienced neck pain. 31.3% had accompanying headache. Vancouver neck pain and headache are issues for Vancouver older folks! Fortunately, chiropractic care for these older adults living with neck pain integrates easily with care by other healthcare providers. (2) The safe, gentle Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management has shown beneficial relief of neck and arm pain via 15 treatments over 10 weeks using Cox® Technic and adjunctive modalities.

Vancouver CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH:

Look at Vitamin D for Headache and Neck Pain

Vitamin D deficiency is a worldwide concern estimated to affect 30% to 50% of the population. (4) Researchers report that vitamin D deficiency may well produce or exacerbate neck pain, back pain, and muscle spasm. They state that fixing vitamin D deficiency is vital when treating these conditions since it’s not too costly and delivers good results in terms of quality of care and cost. (5) Another review of studies performed regarding vitamin D and headache revealed that there is a connection between vitamin D levels and headaches (the strongest link being that between vitamin D levels and migraine). Researchers suggest that headache sufferers, especially those with migraines, may lessen the frequency of headache by supplementing with vitamin D. (6) Simple! Check your vitamin D level, and increase it if necessary!
