Explaining the Chiropractic Adjustment

by

Comparing and Contrasting the Audible (“Pop, Crack”) to the Non-Audible Adjustment And Clinical Outcomes Chiropractic care does not involve drugs or surgery. Chiropractic care centers around the application of mechanical forces to a patient’s body, and primarily to their spine. Untrained lay practitioners who apply mechanical forces to a patient’s body call such a maneuver […]

A Common Cause of Kneecap Pain

by

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is characterized by pain in the front region of the knee, around the patella (kneecap), and is often described as stabbing, aching, and/or burning—especially during movements that increase pressure between the femur and patella. Common aggravating activities include prolonged sitting, transitioning from sitting to standing, climbing or descending stairs, kneeling, squatting, […]

Truck Driving and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

by

When we think of carpal tunnel syndrome, we often picture people whose jobs or leisure activities involve rapid hand movements—like typing, playing an instrument, or line work; heavy tool usage—like construction work; or prolonged time spent in awkward hand positions—like dentists and surgeons. One profession we don’t typically consider is professional drivers, especially those behind […]

Whiplash and Injury to the Facet Joints

by

The facet joints are located in the posterior (back) part of the vertebrae and are typically symmetrical, with four per vertebra—a left and right superior facet and an inferior facet set. The superior and inferior facets articulate with the corresponding facets of the adjacent vertebrae, contributing to spinal stability, mechanical load distribution, and controlled movement. […]

Coenzyme Q10 in the Management of Heart Failure

by

Heart failure has been described as a clinical syndrome with symptoms and signs stemming from a structural and/or functional cardiac abnormality, which is confirmed by elevated natriuretic peptides (hormones that play a crucial role in regulating blood pressure, fluid balance, and heart function) levels and/or objective evidence of pulmonary or systemic congestion. It’s estimated that […]

The Gut Microbiome and Degenerative Disk Disease

by

Degenerative disk disease (DDD) is a condition where the intervertebral disks gradually break down leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced flexibility in the spine. While DDD is influenced by factors such as aging, mechanical stress, obesity, inflammation, trauma, and genetics, the exact mechanism that triggers the condition is not well understood. In recent years, scientists […]

Decision-Making Factors for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Care

by

While carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a very common condition, controversy still exists among researchers and healthcare professionals regarding best practices for managing the condition. Most studies on musculoskeletal disorders, including CTS, focus on identifying treatments that provide symptom relief rather than exploring the factors influencing patients’ decisions, particularly when choosing between surgical and non-surgical […]
