Mobilization Therapy Effective for Acute Whiplash Neck Pain.

A recent clinical trial that included 120 patients with acute neck pain following a motor vehicle collision found that mobilization therapy resulted in faster and better short-term improvement than standard treatment alone. Doctors of chiropractic are trained in the delivery of mobilization and other manual therapies for the management of whiplash-associated neck pain.

Midlife Depressive Symptoms Linked to Dementia.

Using data from the Whitehall II study, researchers found that the following depressive symptoms at midlife are associated with an elevated risk of dementia in old age: losing confidence, not able to face up to problems, not feeling warmth and affection for others, nervous and strung-up all the time, not satisfied with the way tasks are carried out, and difficulties concentrating.

Ultra-Processed Foods May Stimulate Overeating in Young Adults.

In a recent trial, researchers found that that healthy young adults, aged 18-21, consume more calories and are more likely to eat when not hungry after two weeks on a diet high in ultra-processed foods—foods that include added sugars, fats, and salt to enhance flavor and prolong shelf life—than after two weeks on a diet containing few, if any, ultra processed goods.

Many Lung Cancer Deaths Could Be Prevented with Improved Screening.

Despite evidence that low-dose chest CT scans can detect lung cancer early in at-risk adults—such as those with a history of smoking or occupational exposure to certain pollutants—and reduce lung cancer mortality nearly threefold, new research suggests that only 19% of eligible adults undergo screening.

Nearly Three-Quarters of Adults Struggle with Daytime Sleepiness!

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine reports that 72% of adults in the United States experience daytime sleepiness, which can negatively affect mood, stress levels, productivity, and relationships. The Academy notes that chronic daytime tiredness may signal insufficient sleep or poor sleep quality due to an underlying health issue, such as obstructive sleep apnea.

For psychiatric patients under treatment for depression, anxiety disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, a recent study found that structured therapeutic climbing sessions provided benefits with respect to mood, mental focus, social connection, and physical confidence. Participants found the intervention enjoyable and were likely to continue climbing after the study.

Factors Linked to Central Sensitization.

Central sensitization is a state in which the nervous system becomes overly reactive, amplifying pain signals and lowering the threshold at which pain is perceived—an effect that can hinder recovery from chronic low back pain and other musculoskeletal disorders. A recent study found that central sensitization was not directly associated with psychological distress or pain intensity, but it showed mild associations with higher body mass index and low vitamin D status. These findings suggest that poor metabolic health may contribute to central sensitization and should be considered when patients fail to respond to conservative treatment approaches, such as chiropractic care.

Dementia Increasing Worldwide.

Using data from the Global Burden of Disease study, researchers report that the global age-standardized rate of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias increased from 1990 to 2021. Because burden growth was highest in richer nations, the authors suggest that declines in metabolic health may be a contributing factor to the increased incidence of dementia, highlighting the importance of maintaining good metabolic health through regular exercise, a high-quality diet, healthy body weight, adequate sleep, and effective management of stress and inflammation.
