B Vitamins As Effective Helpers to Chiropractic Care of Radiculopathy
Vitamins for back pain? Vitamins for leg pain? Yes!
VITAMIN B FOR YOUNGER WOMEN
Younger Ashburn and Herndon women carry new bodies in their own bodies when pregnant. It’s a big responsibility to form the body for a new person! Taking 400 mcg of folic acid daily decreases the chance of neural tube defects (like spine-related spina bifida and anencephaly) in the first 28 days of pregnancy by 50 to 70 percent. (1) It’s advantageous to start life with as much favorable development as possible and to look after the body you have when young to maintain it as it ages.
VITAMIN B FOR OLDER WOMEN’S SPINES
Older Ashburn and Herndon women undergo some unique Ashburn and Herndon spinal and body issues. After menopause plasma homocysteine rises and elevates the risk of cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis for women. Folic acid (vitamin B9) decreases the homocysteine levels (as well as the associated risks for disease). (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn is all about heart and bone health, too! Low levels of B vitamins are related to a higher risk of degenerative diseases like osteoporosis. (3) Research reports that B vitamins affect bone health likely because of their influence on total plasma homocysteine concentrations (TCHY). B12 and THCY may alter osteoclasts or osteoblasts or modulate collagen cross-linking in bone health. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) assists the body in maintaining normal nerve function. (4) Bone health and nerve function are surely important contributors to spine health and Ashburn and Herndon back pain incidence. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn observes it daily!
VITAMIN B FOR Ashburn and Herndon BACK PAIN RELIEF
Taking B vitamins can decrease the risk of unpleasant effects of taking NSAIDS to which many Ashburn and Herndon back pain sufferers try for some pain relief. (5) Including a multivitamin to the treatment plan for pain relief for patients who have L5S1 vertebrogenic radiculopathy (sciatic leg pain) helpfully impacts the pain relief outcomes. (6) Cases of vitamin B12 deficiency may present with acute neurological symptoms but recover with vitamin B2 supplementation. (7) In patients who have sciatic leg pain for more than one month, adding vitamin B complex supplementation to the use of diclofenac (NSAID) increased pain relief outcomes. (8) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn certainly enthusiastically shares such positive methods for better patient outcomes!
