Whiplash Prevention Strategies that Benefit Everyone

Not only do whiplash associated disorders affect an individual’s health and wellbeing but they can also impact their family and society overall. With that in mind, let’s discuss strategies to reduce the prevalence of automobile collisions and the severity of injury when a car crash does occur.

Internal vs. External Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Most adults will experience shoulder pain at some point during their lifetime, and it’s estimated that nearly one-third of adults are affected each year. Among the many possible diagnoses, shoulder impingement syndrome accounts for roughly half of all shoulder pain cases. However, current understanding indicates that shoulder impingement syndrome is not a single diagnosis, but rather a cluster of symptoms that can arise from multiple anatomical and biomechanical factors. The condition is typically classified as either internal or external, depending on where and how the impingement occurs.

Contrarian Whiplash Facts

While any sudden back and forth motion can lead to a whiplash injury, the most common cause is a motor vehicle collision. Because these incidents often result in litigation, there has been plenty of research on whiplash associated disorders that has produced conclusions that may be contrary to what some might expect.

Midlife Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs when the median nerve becomes compressed or restricted as it passes through the wrist. Early on, this may cause mild, intermittent tingling, numbness, or pain in parts of the hand, but over time, symptoms can become more frequent and activity-limiting. While CTS can develop at any age, it’s most common during midlife due to the convergence of three key factors: occupational stress, hormonal and metabolic changes, and age-related anatomy.

Risk Factors for Postpartum Low Back Pain

It’s estimated that as many as 50–70% of new mothers experience low back pain and related disability, which can hinder their ability to carry out daily activities such as household chores, self-care, and meeting the physical demands of infant care—including feeding, lifting, and carrying. When severe enough, these physical limitations can contribute to stress, anxiety, and postpartum depression, further interfering with the mother’s ability to bond with her newborn and diminishing her overall quality of life. What are the underlying causes of postpartum low back pain?

Chiropractic Management of Tennis Elbow

When an individual experiences pain in or near the wrist, the first thought may be carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), but there are many conditions that affect the upper extremities. One such condition is lateral epicondylitis, which is more commonly known as tennis elbow.

The Four Grades of Whiplash Associated Disorders

Whiplash occurs when the head suddenly accelerates and then rapidly decelerates, placing excessive strain on the soft tissues that support the neck. In addition to neck pain and stiffness, this motion can produce a variety of symptoms collectively known as whiplash-associated disorders (WAD). To better define and manage these injuries, the Quebec Task Force on Whiplash-Associated Disorders (1995) developed a classification system that grades whiplash severity from I to IV.

Whiplash Challenges & Chiropractic Care

The term whiplash refers to a sudden forward (acceleration) and backward (deceleration) movement that results in hyperextension of the cervical spine. This process can injure the various soft tissues in proximity of the neck, which can lead to a wide collection of symptoms that fall under the umbrella term whiplash associated disorders (WAD). While this description may seem simplistic, the condition is anything but, and it be quite a challenge for healthcare providers to manage. In fact, the current research suggests that between 20-50% of WAD patients will continue to experience some degree of life-interfering pain and disability.

Chiropractic Treatment for the Post-Back Surgery Patient

Chiropractic care is a great conservative treatment option for the low back pain patient. While many patients visit a chiropractor to avoid progressing to surgery, there are individuals with a history of back pain who did opt for surgery but continue to experience pain and disability. Can a doctor of chiropractic help the post-surgery low back pain patient?

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome as a Cumulative Trauma Disorder

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) occurs when the mobility of the median nerve is constricted as it passes through the wrist, leading to symptoms in parts of the hand and fingers such as numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness. While it’s possible for CTS to arise following an acute injury—like a wrist fracture—or from hormonal changes that cause swelling in the wrist—like pregnancy—the disorder often progresses subtly and over time due to an accumulation of micro traumas. Hence the term cumulative trauma disorder (CTD).

Life’s Simple 7 Guidelines for Cardiovascular Health

Presently, someone in the United States suffers a heart attack about every 34 seconds, on average. In an effort to improve cardiovascular health and reduce the incidence of poor cardiovascular outcomes like heart disease and stroke, the American Heart Association released their Life’s Simple 7 guidelines in 2010. These include four modifiable behaviors and three biometric measures that can each reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease when achieved:
