Did You Know?

Gabapentin was originally developed to help manage seizures and certain types of nerve pain.

Today, it’s commonly prescribed for a wide range of conditions including back pain. However, emerging research (including a 2025 study analyzing over 26,000 patient records published in Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine) suggests a possible association between long-term use and increased rates of cognitive decline, including dementia particularly in adults under 50.

Gabapentin works by dampening activity in the central nervous system. While this may help reduce symptoms, it doesn’t address the underlying cause of dysfunction. In some cases, it may simply quiet the signals rather than restore proper communication within the body.

If your nervous system isn’t functioning optimally, the goal shouldn’t just be to suppress symptoms but to improve how your body communicates and heals.

Great share this morning from a mentor of mine.

My dad used to say that as a Chiropractor, many patients come in and it’s bottom of the ninth, two outs and you have to step up and hit a homerun. Many times, and in fact most times we do, but sometimes we strike out.

I wish patients would consider us first and not as a last resort. It’s hard to undo decades worth of damage and dysfunction. This is a woman who is 62 years old and has absolutely no quality-of-life because of her spine being severely subluxated and her nervous system being compressed. She can’t walk for more than 50 feet without intense pain.

What has been her solution from her doctors over the years? Pain management and drugs. There is no chemical solution to a structural problem. Long standing misalignments in peoples spine ruin their life.

If you have a loved one and they look crooked or are in pain, get them to a good Chiropractor, it could be the difference between truly living and just existing.

Your spine does more than just hold you up… it tells a story. 👇

Headaches.
Mid-back tension.
Low back pain.
Pelvic rotation.

Sometimes the root cause isn’t where you feel the pain. Occiput and cervical compression can trigger headaches. Mild scoliosis can create uneven loading. Anterior pelvic rotation can stress the entire chain.

The body is connected and small imbalances add up over time.
