Herniated Disk Resorption

The intervertebral disk is made up of a tough outer annulus fibrosis while the central portion (called the nucleus pulposus) is soft, more liquid-like, giving it a shock-absorbing function. If the integrity of the annulus is compromised, the nucleus pulposus can leak through the torn fibers, which is known as disk herniation. If the direction of herniation is not near a nerve or pain-sensitive tissue, there may be few, if any, symptoms. However, if the herniated tissue presses on a nerve root as it exits the spine, an individual may feel sensory (numbness, tingling) and/or motor (muscle weakness and atrophy) symptoms in the buttock and down into the leg.

Long-Standing Hip and Groin Pain

Simply put, long-standing hip and groin pain (LHGP) is discomfort in the hip and groin region lasting six weeks or longer that often limits physical function and reduces quality of life. For some patients, simple activities like walking, climbing stairs, and sitting for prolonged periods of time can feel impossible. Unfortunately, LHGP tends to come on gradually over time and has no easily identifiable cause, which can make diagnosis (and treatment) a challenge.

Risk Factors for Chronic Whiplash

Whiplash describes a mechanism of injury that occurs following the sudden acceleration and deceleration of the head and neck that stretches its various soft tissues beyond their physiological limits leading to sprains, strains, tears, etc. The resulting cluster of symptoms is collectively known as whiplash associated disorders (WAD). Past research suggests that up to half of WAD patients will continue to experience chronic symptoms for up to a year or more following the initial injury event, which can place a heavy burden on the individual and their family. In recent years, much research has been conducted on uncovering why some patients experience a resolution of their symptoms and why some progress to chronic WAD.

Cyclist’s Palsy

Though peripheral neuropathies often develop in individuals whose daily activities involve fast, repetitive motions, no rest, awkward hand postures, firm gripping, and excessive vibration exposure like office workers, construction workers, line workers, etc., there is one group that meets these various criteria that we hardly consider: cyclists.

Runner’s Knee

Running is a popular recreational activity, and it’s an effective form of aerobic exercise for both young and old. It’s estimated that 50-60 million Americans regularly run or jog on tracks, city streets, or trails. However, running also carries a risk for injury. It’s estimated that at least half of recreational runners will sustain an injury each year, and a common cause of running-related pain is runner’s knee.

Dietary Nitrate and Exercise Enhancement

Athletes from the amateur to professional levels have long sought methods to improve their performance, with some even resorting to risky and unsafe strategies that can lead to poor long-term outcomes. However, there are many natural methods to enhance exercise performance that are nutrition-based and safe. One such compound that has gained attention is dietary nitrate, which is also known as inorganic nitrate in a supplement form.

Daily Living with a Herniated Lumbar Disk

While disk herniations in the lumbar spine are fairly common and may resolve on their own or persist without symptoms, if a herniation places pressure on the spinal cord or nerves exiting the spine, the patient may experience radiating pain into one or both legs. While chiropractic care can help individuals with a herniated lumbar disk, patients often ask what they can do and what they should avoid between visits to facilitate the healing process.

Tools for Managing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome...

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition that occurs following compression or restriction of the median nerve as it passes through the wrist and into the hand. Thus, the focus of treatment is to alleviate pressure on the median nerve, allowing it to transfer motor and sensory information to and from the hand. Clinical guidelines recommend exhausting conservative treatment options before considering surgery, of which chiropractic is an excellent choice. Let’s discuss the various tools at a chiropractor’s disposal for managing carpal tunnel syndrome.

Why Is Neck Pain So Common?

Neck pain is one of the most frequent reasons patients seek chiropractic care, second to low back pain. One study noted that neck pain was the primary cause for work absence among 25.5 million American adults in 2012. When considering lost productivity, disability, and healthcare spending, neck pain takes a heavy financial toll on society. Why is it so common?

Dietary Strategies for Healthier Bones

Bone is a living tissue that naturally and continuously breaks down (osteoclastic activity) and is replaced (osteoblastic activity). Peak bone mass is achieved at around age 30 with breakdown accelerating thereafter. If sufficient bone mass and microstructure is lost, an individual may be diagnosed with a condition known as osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can affect both men and women; however, the condition is significantly more common in women, particularly following menopause in response to hormonal shifting. There is presently no cure for osteoporosis, rather the current treatment approach is to slow the disease process. One such approach involves dietary strategies.

The Importance of the Hamstrings

The hamstrings consist of four muscles in the back of the thigh and upper leg—the biceps femoris (long and short heads), semitendinosus, and semimembranosus—that connect the ischial tuberosity to the knee area. This collection of muscles performs a variety of functions including bending or flexing the knee joint; extending the hip joint; internal hip rotation; decelerating knee extension and hip flexion during high-velocity actions; and absorbing kinetic energy and protecting the knee and hip joints during walking. The state of the hamstrings can also contribute to musculoskeletal issues involving the knees, hips, and lower back.

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:
