𝙁𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙎𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙨 𝙈𝙚𝙖𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙪𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 🤕🏈

A recent study concluded: “When used in the acute setting, (manipulation) significantly decreased concussion symptom number and severity. This study demonstrates that manipulation is safe and effective in the management of new-onset symptoms of uncomplicated concussions."

Here are our top tips for acute concussions:

✔️When in doubt, seek immediate medical attention.
✔️If you do not need hospitalization and you are allowed to return home, you should have a responsible attendant stay with you for the first 24 hours.
✔️You should sleep with your head slightly elevated for the first 24 hours.
✔️You should drink only clear fluids for the first 8-12 hours.
✔️ Avoid alcohol, sedatives, sleeping pills, aspirin, and Ibuprofen unless your medical physician has directed otherwise.
✔️After 8-12 hours, you may begin with light meals and progress to a normal diet over the next day.
✔️You should avoid unnecessary physical and mental activity for the first 24 hours.
✔️Call our office, as new research has found that manipulation can potentially improve concussion symptoms.

𝙎𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙁𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙇𝙤𝙬 𝘽𝙖𝙘𝙠 𝙋𝙖𝙞𝙣? 😫

A large review of more than 5000 acute low back pain patients concluded:

"NSAIDs seemed slightly more effective than placebo for short-term pain reduction, disability, and global improvement, but the magnitude of the effects is small and probably not clinically relevant."

Check out the infographic below to see what works (and what doesn’t) for low back pain! 👇

Keep Those Joints Moving! 🏃‍♀️

In the past, treatment of acute injuries, like sprains and strains, employed the acronym RICE:
✔️ Rest
✔️ Ice
✔️ Compression
✔️ Elevation

Now, some of these recommendations are under question...

A new study on early compression concluded:
“We could not demonstrate either a beneficial or harmful effect from the application of a compression or elastic bandage.”

And many studies have found that early mobility is better than rest or immobilization of many injuries. (When’s the last time you saw a foam neck collar?) 🤔

Yes, the new standard of care for many conditions is to keep joints moving. And that’s exactly why so many studies support chiropractic care! 👍

If you’re suffering from joint pain, let’s chat! You can call to schedule an appointment with our clinic today. 📱

Suffering From Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome?

👉 Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) describes a painful irritation of the cartilage behind your kneecap.

Although anyone may be affected, it is often the result of overuse of the knee in sports that require jumping or running so it is sometimes referred to as Runner's knee.

PFPS is the most common cause of knee pain in the general population, affecting an estimated 25% of adults.

If you or someone you know is suffering from PFPS our office can help! Check out this explainer video to learn more about the most common cause of knee pain. ▶️
