Bad Posture and Chronic Neck Pain

While most of us have a look in the mirror at least once a day, few of us look at our appearance from a different angle, such as from the side. But, the view from the side can be quite revealing if you suffer from chronic neck pain.

The Role of the Feet and Hips in Low Back Pain

The body is an interconnected whole and needs to be looked at as such in order to get at the root of a spinal problem. We are all familiar with low back trauma, bending, and stooping in awkward positions to lift something from a trunk, or the slip and fall on ice. In these examples, it's easy to see how the trauma preceded the low back pain.

Four Reasons Shoulder Injuries Heal So Slowly

Shoulder injuries are a common complaint, affecting approximately 40 out of every 1,000 people each year. While the causes of shoulder pain and dysfunction vary, they all share one frustrating trait: they tend to heal slowly. In fact, many clinical guidelines published around the world recommend longer treatment durations for shoulder complaints compared to other soft tissue injuries. That raises the question—why does the shoulder take so long to recover?

Car Accidents and Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain following an automobile collision is probably more common than you think. Whiplash injuries, especially serious ones, are notorious for causing pain and disability beyond the neck. Whiplash is considered a full-body disorder and symptoms can range from pain to dizziness, headache, and fatigue. Depending on the type of collision and what type of restraints were in use in the vehicle, other body parts may be injured as well. One study (Abbassian A, Giddins GE. Subacromial Impingement in patients with whiplash injury to the cervical spine. J Orthopedic Surgery 2008;3:25.) looked at shoulder complaints in individuals who had suffered a whiplash type of trauma. Out of 220 patients with whiplash, 26% had shoulder symptoms and 5% had what is known as an impingement syndrome.

When Surgery Is Needed for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition that occurs when the median nerve is compressed as it passes through the wrist. The carpal tunnel is a narrow passage in the wrist that also contains several tendons and blood vessels. Any factor that reduces the cross-sectional area of the tunnel or increases the volume of its contents—such as inflammation, swelling, or structural changes—can compress the median nerve and trigger the hallmark symptoms of CTS, including pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and fingers. Clinical guidelines generally recommend conservative care as the first line of treatment for CTS. Chiropractic care, which may include manual therapy, nerve gliding techniques, exercise, and ergonomic advice, is a well-supported conservative approach. However, in some cases, more invasive interventions such as surgery may be necessary.

Low Back Pain: Is It Serious?

Back problems can cause a good deal of worry and for good reason. Any problem that doesn't go away on its own in a reasonable period of time should be a cause for concern. Rarely, severe back pain can be caused by tumors and other destructive processes, so it's important to have these serious conditions ruled out with a thorough examination and x-rays or other imaging.

Treatment for Whiplash-Injured Cervical Facet Joints

The sudden acceleration and deceleration of the head and neck during a whiplash injury commonly damages soft tissues such as muscles, tendons, and ligaments. However, among the most frequently injured structures are the facet joints. In fact, research suggests that approximately half of neck pain cases—including those unrelated to whiplash—involve the facet joints. Why are these joints so vulnerable during whiplash?
