Researchers have confirmed a link between excessive texting and hand pain:

“There appears to be a linear association between frequency of text messages and incidence of (problems). “

Our top five tips:
✔️ Minimize thumb time to decrease the risk of repetitive trauma -- a big factor for carpal tunnel syndrome!
✔️ Use text-to-speak -- this will give your thumbs a break
✔️ Use the three text rule -- Call your contact rather than using long or repeated texts
✔️ Get a grip or pop-socket -- this will help you to avoid resting your device on your thumbs.
✔️ Switch hands frequently -- your hands need a break, also!

Yet another study has found that chiropractic care can help decrease opioid use:

"Compared to patients with neck pain who saw a primary health care provider, patients with neck pain who initially saw a conservative therapist were 72%-91% less likely to fill an opioid prescription in the first 30 days, and between 41%-87% less likely to continue filling prescriptions for 1 year."

Research has established similar conclusions for patients with low back pain. Check out this Opioid Crisis synopsis for more information! 👇

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, so it is sometimes referred to as "Runner's Knee". Researchers have found that chiropractic care can help:

“A single session of manipulation improved balance control and pain in patients diagnosed with (knee pain).”

✔ higher headache pain intensity
✔ dizziness or unsteadiness
✔ pre-existing headache
✔ older age
✔ unemployed work status
✔ lower recovery expectations

A very large research study has concluded that more than half of the population has neck arthritis, including disc degeneration. We also know that the majority of people with spinal arthritis do not have significant symptoms.

Q: How can that be?
A: Arthritis is usually a sign of an underlying problem rather than a cause.

Don’t let anyone tell you that you need to live with the pain just because you have a sign of degenerative change on an X-ray. Check out the attached infographic to learn more. 👇
