Health Alert: Weekend Binge Drinking Tied to Higher Risk of Liver Damage.

Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a form of liver disease associated with metabolic dysfunction rather than excessive alcohol use. According to a recent study, MASLD patients who binge drink—defined as consuming five or more drinks within a few hours—at least once per month had nearly a threefold higher risk of advanced liver fibrosis compared with those who consumed a similar total amount of alcohol spread over time. These findings suggest that patterns of alcohol consumption may be just as important as total intake when assessing liver health.

IBD May Worsen Outcomes for Heart Attack Survivors.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of nine cohort studies involving nearly 10 million patients found that heart attack survivors with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) had a 22% higher risk of recurrent heart attack. These findings suggest that post–myocardial infarction patients with IBD may benefit from closer monitoring.

Health Alert: Long-Term Excess Weight Raises Heart Risks.

Using data from the Nurses’ Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, researchers found that adults who remained overweight throughout the 1990s had up to a 60% higher risk of cardiovascular disease over the following two decades compared with those who maintained a healthy weight.

Health Alert: Neighborhood Traits May Influence Biological Aging.

Living in a neighborhood without access to things like green spaces, clean air, good jobs, quality schools, and affordable housing may increase chronic stress, which can speed up aging at the cellular level and raise the risk of developing health problems earlier in life.

Fluctuating Sleep Apnea May Signal Hidden Heart Risk.

While obstructive sleep apnea is associated with elevated cardiovascular risk, recent research suggests that individuals whose sleep apnea varies in severity significantly from night to night show signs of accelerated vascular aging—approximately 30% greater compared to those with more stable patterns—regardless of their average severity level. These findings indicate that single-night sleep studies may underestimate cardiovascular risk, and multi-night monitoring may provide a more accurate assessment.

Health Alert: Prediabetes Increases Heart Risks, Especially Paired with Obesity.

An analysis of data from 1.3 million adults found that prediabetes is associated with a nearly 21% increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease over the following five years. Among individuals with both prediabetes and obesity, the risk was even higher at about 32%. These findings add to a growing body of evidence highlighting the importance of regular blood testing (including monitoring HbA1c levels) and lifestyle interventions to better manage blood sugar and reduce cardiovascular risk.

Shoulder Pain in Pickleball

If you’ve ever felt shoulder soreness after a long day of pickleball, you’re not alone. Shoulder irritation is very common, especially with overhead shots, serves, and quick reaction swings at the net.
The shoulder is designed for mobility, but that also means it relies heavily on surrounding muscles and proper coordination to stay stable. When that balance is off, the rotator cuff can become irritated, leading to pain, weakness, or limited movement.
Many players notice discomfort when reaching overhead, putting on a shirt, or even sleeping on that side. It may start as mild soreness but can gradually build if the underlying issue isn’t addressed.
Often, the problem isn’t just in the shoulder itself. Limited movement in the upper back or poor posture can change how the shoulder functions, putting extra strain on certain muscles.
Chiropractic care focuses on improving movement in the upper body as a whole. By helping restore mobility in the spine and shoulder, and improving how the shoulder blade moves, the stress on the joint can often be reduced.
At Lake Wylie Family Chiropractic, care is centered around helping your body function better so you can stay active. For pickleball players, that often means getting the shoulder moving the way it should so you can keep playing comfortably.

Health Alert: Cold Weather Poses Greater Risk to Heart Health Than Heat.

While heat waves often come to mind when considering the impact of temperature on cardiovascular health, researchers report that 1 in 16 heart-related deaths are associated with cold exposure, compared to just 1 in 300 linked to heat. Experts point to the effects of low temperatures—particularly their ability to raise blood pressure and increase cardiac workload to maintain body heat—as key drivers of heart attack and stroke risk during colder weather.

Health Alert: Pre-Existing Conditions May Worsen Outcomes for Older Trauma Patients.

Following a review of the Japan Trauma Data Bank, researchers report that older adults hospitalized for blunt or penetrating trauma face an elevated risk of complications due to reduced physiological reserve if they have existing conditions such as metastatic solid tumors, liver disease, renal impairment, leukemia, congestive heart failure, connective tissue disease, or chronic lung disease. These findings suggest that clinicians should closely review medications, monitor for complications, and individualize care in older trauma patients to reduce the risk of adverse outcomes.

Health Alert: E-Scooter Injuries in Kids and Teens.

The growing use of electronic scooters (e-scooters) in cities and towns across the United States has been linked to more than 2,100 injuries among children and teenagers between 2020 and 2024, with boys aged 11 to 14 at the highest risk. Notably, nearly 42% of these injuries occurred in 2024 alone, raising concern among researchers. Common injuries included fractures, sprains, and cuts, while more severe cases involved internal trauma and traumatic brain injury. According to lead author Dr. Mary Beth Howard, “Younger adolescents have less-developed motor skills, poorer judgment, and limited experience with traffic and road safety, making them more susceptible to injuries.”

Pickleball Elbow

Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports around Lake Wylie, and it’s easy to see why. It’s fun, social, and a great way to stay active. But one of the most common problems players run into is pain on the outside of the elbow, often called “pickleball elbow.”
This usually comes from repetitive paddle use, especially with backhand shots and quick volleys. Over time, the muscles and tendons in the forearm can become irritated, leading to pain, weakness, and even difficulty gripping everyday items like a coffee cup or steering wheel.

What many people don’t realize is that elbow pain is often not just about the elbow. The way the wrist, shoulder, and even neck move can all contribute to extra stress in that area. If those joints aren’t moving well, the elbow ends up doing more work than it should.

A chiropractic approach focuses on improving how the entire arm moves together. This may include restoring motion in the wrist and shoulder, addressing tight muscles in the forearm, and helping improve overall movement patterns so the stress on the elbow is reduced.

At Lake Wylie Family Chiropractic, many active adults come in with this type of issue, especially after playing more frequently. The goal is simple: help your body move better so you can keep playing without that nagging pain slowing you down.
