43 yo housewife presents with left shoulder pain which began 2 yrs ago after a kettlebell class. Orthopedist sent her for 6 mos of physical therapy with minimal effect. When that was ineffective, the orthopedist decided she just hadn’t had enough physical therapy and ordered another 6 months-to no avail. 2/10 pain at rest with “tingles.” Particularly sore when driving her children to and from various activities. Raising her arm 90 degrees to the side results in 7/10 pain radiating to her elbow. She is unable to raise her arm higher due to the pain. No imaging was ordered. She wondered if she had a torn rotator cuff and if she should get an MRI.
After the first visit she had full range of motion and no more pain. I have seen her 7 times in the last two years for occasional relapses, but she is otherwise doing well. , ,

Tea Anyone? This article summarizes to say that the active compound EGCG in green tea helps to stablize and fight cancerous cells in the p53 region of the human genome. I recommend organic matcha, and if you're interested in me posting more on this, please comment below! https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-21258-5

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a catechin flavonoid which induces apoptosis in cancerous cells, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here authors use an interdisciplinary approach to show a direct interaction between EGCG and the tumor suppressor p53 and demonstrate....

“22 million Americans visit chiropractors annually” Says WebMD. https://www.webmd.com/pain-management/guide/chiropractic-pain-relief Based on a US population of about 331 million, that’s roughly 7% of the US population. 35% of individuals seeing a Continue Reading →

very active, 62 yo male presented with a stooped, “old man” posture. He complained of severe reflux (GERD) and right-sided low back pain made worse with rightward bending-resulting in a painful, recurring “pop.”

Upon postural examination, his scoliosis (abnormal curvature of the spine) was evident. He couldn’t even lay flat comfortably—he needed several pillows to prop himself up. He had to sleep that way no less than 4 hours after eating to avoid reflux. He was able to bend to the left uninhibited but bending to the right resulted in a recurring “pop” and pain-limiting his full range of motion. I hypothesized that his reflux was at least partly due to the scoliosis and that the lowest rib was buckling under the superior rib, causing the painful “pop” whenever he bent to the right. To confirm my theory, I ordered lateral flexion and standing x-rays.

The x-ray report demonstrated a 25 degree rightward lumbar curve and confirmed my theory regarding the “buckling” of the 12 rib under the 11th on rightward bending. The x-ray also showed degenerative changes to the low back discs and joints-which helped explain the low back stiffness and general achiness. My treatment goals were to prevent progression of the spinal curve, minimize or eliminate the low back pain, and reduce his reflux. I judiciously employed chiropractic joint manipulation, therapeutic exercise, supplements, and lifestyle modifications. The patient has been extremely proactive since day one-which is the main reason for the success achieved despite infrequent visits:

On his 6th visit (9 mos later) pain was absent on right flexion “pop.” 15 mos since his first visit, the “pop” vanished and his reflux was significantly reduced. 2 yrs (11 visits) after I first met him, he is pain free. He stands straight naturally and lays down without needing pillows to prop himself up. His reflux is also significantly improved. I will see him again in 6 months for maintenance care.

I shared this story with a friend who knew of a similar situation in a young woman. In that case, the medical doctors removed the lower ribs to “fix” the problem. I suppose we all have health decisions to make. What would you do? ,

Just in time for Valentines. We've put together a group of tests we feel are vital but rarely done for measuring heart health and preventing heart disease. And we've discounted them all for the month of February to make it easier for you and your loved ones to practice an ounce of prevention.

Plastics found in otherwise healthy human foetus. Very disturbing. Please do your part to limit use of plastics. Use silicone bags instead of ziplock, reusable water bottles instead of plastic ones bought in stores. We owe it to ourselves, our environment and our future generations!!

Plastic has reached the mother's womb. At least a dozen microplastic particles were found in the placenta of 4 mothers. Experts say plastic may have entered ...

Do you know your vitamin D status? We have most of our patients in a vitamin D supplement because it is so important for the immune system (especially now)!

A new study conducted at Northwestern University has concluded that vitamin D may be an essential ingredient to protecting oneself from the coronavirus.

Hello, everyone! Hope this message finds you all safe and well!
We’re excited to announce one more measure we’ve taken to protect our patients during this COVID-19 epidemic. We now have a professional 9-stage DFS air purification system in the office. This is the same technology that is used in hospital clean rooms. It captures an impressive 99.99% of all particles as small as 0.007 microns. This includes viruses! It removes 94-100% of harmful viruses, molds and bacteria.
We will have this up and running in our waiting area starting tomorrow!
We originally ordered this to deal with the fumes from the renovations on our floor. Since we can’t open windows to air things out, we wanted to make sure we invested in something that was capable of filtering out such small particles. Since HEPA filters do not filter out VOCs (they only go as small as 0.3 microns), we ordered this.
We’ve opened an account with Healthway and managed to secure a few other air filters for neighbors/family/friends. If any of you would like us to order one for your family/home/office or would like more information on this air filter, please let us know. Supplies are very limited now due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we will do our best to get more for anyone who is interested.

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. Just want to take a minute to tell you a little about the effects of blue light from screens on your ability to sleep. The retinal ganglion cells respond most strongly to blue light and effectively decrease your body's production of melatonin (an important hormone for good quality sleep). So it takes longer to fall asleep, decreases the amount of REM sleep & makes it harder to wake up. Consider investing in a pair of blue light blocking glasses if you are looking at screens past sunset or within two hours of bedtime. Ideally they should block light in the 280-510 nm range. I’ve found they really do make a difference for our family. They even fit my four year old. The one downside to these orange ones is that we can’t see yellow highlighter on computer screens, so consider yourselves forewarned. 😉
Choosing light bulbs with a warmer light can help as well.

Hope you’re all staying safe and well.
With the shelter at home extended, we thought now might be a good time to review home office / home school ergonomics and talk about what posture is best for your spine.
Minimizing the stress on our spines from all this extra time at home in front of screens is an important measure to prevent problems and aches/pains.
Hope this helps in some small way. Happy to cover other topics in future videos, so let us know what you want to see!
Also, please excuse my head being slightly forward — trying to stay in the shot... We will have to discuss awkward camera angling with Dr Renner. 😉
