Surge in 'Digital Dementia'

You knew it was coming: a study is finally out showing how bad constant exposure to electronic devices can be. The "most-connected country" in the world -- South Korea -- has been the subject of a study on "Digital Dementia". Just as with any other tool available to us we can become dependent on it and less capable of functioning without it.

How to Prevent Shin Splints

When I started attending Mesa Community College I developed shin splints. I parked at one end of the campus and had classes from one end to the other. It really hurt! I had no alternative -- I continued to walk through the pain, and after several days the pains gradually subsided and, luckily, I have had no problems since.

When I was attending Palmer Chiropractic College 32 years ago, we were taught that shin splints were a spasm of the Tibialis Anterior muscle brought on by overexercise. Today the definition has broadened to include overloading all the muscles of the lower extremities, and is called medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS).

While the following information is targeted to people who run for exercise, the author has suggestions that can also be useful for people who do a lot of walking.

5 Foods to Help Fight Spring Allergies

We're getting an early start on the allergy season this year. Here in Arizona we are told that everyone gets allergies eventually.  Arizona used to be the place you came to get rid of allergies, but everyone came here bringing their allergies and their pollen-producing plants with them.

While I try to understand how miserable allergies can be, I still encourage people to utilize every natural remedy they can to relieve their symptoms. Here are some foods that help the body deal with allergies naturally.

Doctors Discover 'Super Honey' with Amazing Power to Treat Soldiers' Wounds and Kill Superbug Infections

Honey is a natural antibiotic. A study done in Egypt in the 1970's showed that surgical wounds taped together instead of sutured, and treated with honey instead of antibiotics produced faster healing, with less infection and less scar tissue (Honey, Mud and Maggots, and Other Medical Marvels by Root-Bernstein, Robert S. and Michele M.). Some people I have told about this over the years have tried it and been pleased with the results.

When the pollen contains certain other ingredients then it is able to help the body deal with the worst bacterial infections. Another honey with pollen from the trees which produce tea-tree oil, available only from Australia, also is effective against MRSA infections.

To Ration Healthcare: Sick Children In Seattle Denied Specialty Care

When you promise more than you can afford, something has to give. This is just as true in government programs as it is in your family budget. If you increase the number of people expecting to receive health care by 10%, but don't increase the money to pay for it, the only alternative is to do what they do in Canada and Great Britain and ration the services.

Luckily, no one has yet mentioned the next step:  making it illegal for you to spend your own money for your own healthcare, but remember, you heard it here first!

If you still think that Obamacare (I believe he deserves the credit for his creation) is going to provide more healthcare -- read on!

Caffeine-Use Disorder: Widespread Health Problem that Needs More Attention

I imagine that many of you are similar to me while I was attending chiropractic school (and for many years afterward): a caffeine addict. Each morning I would enjoy the 'Breakfast of Champions':  a handful of vitamins, two caffeine tablets, and a Pepsi (it didn't provide any assistance in staying awake). Many days after I was in practice would find me partaking of two to three cans of caffeinated soda. A variety of our favorite drinks have caffeine as a component, and it is easy to maintain a daily fix of this drug, but as with all addictive chemicals, we are healthier without it. I finally realized that I had become so accustomed to caffeine in my body that I had no more trouble going to sleep after consuming it than not. Luckily for me, my withdrawal symptoms were limited to moderate headaches for four to five weeks, and I now consider myself caffeine-free -- I probably drink caffeinated sodas no more than two or three times a month.

If you were raised with the old adage "Waste Not, Want Not" then this article will probably have you steaming. Our nation is so wealthy and become so spoiled that most of us make no effort at all to use much of the food we have available. In a world where people still go to bed hungry, a nation which is slowly moving toward obesity, and who's citizens throw away almost as much food as they eat, is a shame and a disgrace. Efforts to utilize more leftovers, and not overindulge, would make a noticeable difference in the amount of food discarded unnecessarily.

Anti-Inflammatory Diet Tips for Rheumatoid Arthritis Sufferers

We seem to be experiencing an increase in rheumatoid arthritis and other rheumatic and autoimmune conditions. There are a number of interesting theories as to the cause, but we will avoid those for now. Instead here is information that you, or a loved one, might find useful if suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or other rheumatic autoimmune condition. A variety of foods aggravate the problem and should be avoided. Here are some ideas to reduce the degree and frequency of flare-ups which can occur.

Chiropractic and Your Marvelous Machine

Last week I stupidly cut my finger on my Ninja® blender blade doing something I didn’t have to, and knew I shouldn’t do. Anyway, as I tried to staunch the ooze of blood, I reflected on how blessed the majority of us are: we don’t have to do anything special, not even any particular thought process, for our bodies to quickly stop blood flowing from a wound, seal it, and then heal it to a condition very close to the original. This often occurs even in the absence of any care for cleansing or disinfecting the injured area (when I was growing up on the farm I seldom stopped to even wipe the dirt, grease, manure, etc. from my various damaged locations).

Our bodies are marvelous machines, miraculously performing as yet uncounted numbers of different processes which include collecting energy and converting it into a form that can be both used and stored, keeping us warmer when it is cold and cooler when it is hot, moving us around so that our goals can be achieved, repairing structural damage, etc. No matter who or what designed us, the architecture is impressive.

Dr. B. J. Palmer labeled the force that creates our bodies and allows them to perform so effectively as ‘Innate Intelligence’. This force controls and coordinates all the activities of our body and its interaction with our environment, the main organ being our nervous system. When the nervous system is unimpeded ‘Innate’ keeps us healthy, happy, pain-free, and able to accomplish the things we desire – all with minimal conscious exertion. At Val Vista Chiropractic all of our efforts are focused on removing the irritations from your nerves so that you can have the best life possible.

What’s Wrong With My Recliner?

On a regular basis patients tell me just how wonderful their recliner is. They read, watch TV, and even sleep in it.  It is so comfortable, and they really love it. Oh, and by the way, that low-back is still hurting and we just can’t seem to get it to stay in place.

Sorry to the recliner industry out there, but it appears to me, at least, that’s part of your problem! I realize that they are comfortable – I enjoy sitting in them, too. But, have you ever looked at someone sitting in one? From top to bottom:

There is a cushion under your head and a valley under your shoulders. This is so that your head is propped up to see the television properly (you will have noticed that it cannot be positioned properly to read that book in your lap). After two hours of television or reading is your attention drawn to the fact that your neck is stiff, probably sore, with the possibility of a headache besides? That cushion tilts your head in a manner guaranteed to flatten every last degree of curve from your neck, with the possibility of reversal.

There is a fairly firm cushion bulging out along the upper- and middle-back, and a nice big, soft cushion for the lower-back which flattens out to almost nothing when any pressure is applied. While giving the impression of comfort, the long-term affect is almost assuredly to force a flattening of the mid-back curve, and a sagging of the lower-back which decreases that curvature as well. Can anyone say, “Oh, my aching back?”

Our spines’ curvature serves an important shock-absorbing function, and research shows that a person who has every curve falling within an extremely narrow range is much less likely to experience disc herniation or other back problems. Poor sitting posture of any sort, including that encouraged by recliner design, makes it almost impossible for our bodies to maintain those curves.

Sitting in straight-backed chairs seems to assist our bodies in sustaining those curves through better posture. At this point I need to mention that I am not necessarily referring to uncomfortable, wooden kitchen chairs. Straight-backed chairs which are well-designed can be attractive and comfortable. My office reception area is filled with straight-backed chairs and I have never had a comment that they are undesirable.

If the only thing you ever do that is hard on your back is to sit in a recliner then, by all means, enjoy. If, however, you fall more within the reality realm which most of us inhabit, finding alternative seating accommodations might just be an additional avenue to decreased back pain and increased health. At Val Vista Chiropractic we stand ready to inform and assist you no matter what choices that you make.

Chiropractic Care Can Reduce Medicare Costs!

Patients constantly ask me, “Why doesn’t insurance, and especially Medicare, pay for maintenance care?  Prevention is always cheaper than cure.” That statement is correct, and now there is proof.

An interesting study was performed recently by Muse and Associates, an actuarial consulting firm based in Washington, DC. They reviewed Medicare claims of patients who regularly received chiropractic treatments compared to those who did not.  It was discovered that among those who were treated regularly by the chiropractor, the medical costs other than chiropractic charges averaged 48% less than those who did not seek chiropractic care.

While the final calculations and conclusions are not yet available, it is obvious that some overall reduction in Medicare costs could be realized by reimbursing for monthly chiropractic maintenance treatments. For more detailed information regarding this study read here and here.

I realize that almost every treatment regimen in the world, mainstream and alternative, claims to have the answer to lowering healthcare, particularly Medicare, costs, and insists  that they should be the exception to the maintenance care rule. In this case the difference is that there is hard evidence to back up the claim. If you feel that regular chiropractic care should be included in Medicare, contact your senators and representative and refer them to this study.

What Have I Done to Deserve This?

The questions I am most frequently asked include:  I’ve only been hurting for a week, why do I have to keep getting treatments?, Why do the vertebrae keep going out of place?, Why am I still hurting?, etc. An illustration is in order.

When you wake up one morning with a toothache, you go to the dentist and he finds a hole in your tooth.  Does he say, “You ate CANDY last night, didn’t you?” NO! He asks instead, “What have you been doing for the last SIX months?” Our spines are no different than our teeth – when we begin feeling the pain, the problem has already been around for a long time.

Vertebrae can only go out of place when the soft-tissue support structures have been damaged. The muscles, tendons, ligaments, discs, and other connective tissues are stretched and torn during a traumatic incident which allows the vertebrae slip out of their normal alignment.

Soft tissues never heal back to 100% -- it is always some percentage less. As a ridiculous example, if a muscle cell is damaged badly enough that it cannot be repaired, it is not replaced with another muscle cell, but by scar tissue. Scar tissue is not as flexible as muscle tissue, and contributes nothing to the strength of the muscle, and so it is now one cell weaker than it was before the injury. In the event of future trauma, that area of muscle, being weaker and less flexible, is more likely to be re-injured than the remaining healthy muscles.

Additionally, if the vertebrae are out of their correct position as the soft tissues are healing, the final positioning will be causing irritation to the nerve roots, which leads to body pain and organ malfunction. Placing the vertebrae into their correct position initially only confuses the body and it will actually pull the vertebrae out of place again in less than 48 hours. The body can be retrained to hold them in place again for some length of time, but this can only be achieved if they are IN PLACE more than they are OUT OF PLACE during this process.

As you can see, the sooner after an injury that chiropractic treatments are begun, the faster and more effective the healing will be, but it is never too late to help the body to improve itself. Our bodies have miraculous recuperative abilities when given the proper encouragement and support, and many conditions that the medical doctors have told us we will have to live with can be improved or eliminated.

At Val Vista Chiropractic we have the knowledge and ability to give your body its best chance for a healthy and pain-free life, all done the natural way, without drugs or surgery. Come in today and discover what we can do for you.

What is Chiropractic? – Part 2

Chiropractic is a clinical discipline for health and a clinical science based upon:

The law of biology called Homeostasis.  This law states that there is born within an organism an ability to remain stable and healthy, within itself, and within its environment.

The theory of physiology that there is a system, called the nervous system, consisting of the brain, spinal cord, cranial and spinal nerves, autonomic nervous system, and other special sense organs, such as the eye and ear, whose function it is to control and coordinate all other organs and structures, and to relate the organism to it's environment.

The hypothesis that there is a relationship between the health, harmony and control of the nervous system, and health in the total body.

The premise or conjecture of a relationship between the musculoskeletal systems and the nervous system.  That is, faulty musculoskeletal relationships can cause faulty nervous system function, and thereby a loss of health.

To interpret – Chiropractic care is based upon the scientific principles:

The law that our body is designed to take care of itself.

The theory that the nervous system controls and coordinates all functions within the body.

The hypothesis that the body can only be healthy if the nervous system is functioning properly.

The premise that musculoskeletal problems can cause the nervous system to malfunction.

The medical and chiropractic paradigms are in complete harmony regarding these statements. The opinions differ over whether the musculoskeletal system problems can be sufficiently corrected by external influences to allow the nervous system to resume normal function.

As chiropractors, we find that a large majority of health problems include a component of spinal misalignment, and that when these areas are realigned properly the health problems are spontaneously healed, even in the absence of medications or surgery. At Val Vista Chiropractic our goal is for all of our patients to be healthy and pain-free, and to accomplish this in the least-invasive approach possible. Come in to Val Vista Chiropractic today to see how chiropractic can help you feel better.

What is Chiropractic? – Part 1

In our medically oriented society there is confusion about what chiropractic care is intended to accomplish and why. In the next two posts I will attempt to clarify our understanding of the purpose of chiropractic care. Much of this information was distilled from Essential Principles of Chiropractic by Virgil V. Strang, D.C., H.C.D. (Hon.), and Chiropractic Philosophy classes taught by Dr. Strang at Palmer College of Chiropractic, Davenport, IA.

Dorland’s Illustrated Medical Dictionary defines ‘health’ as “a state of optimal physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity” (underline emphasis added). The medical model teaches that disease is caused by ‘germs’ which must be actively attacked by the doctor, placing the patient in the role of passive victim. While this approach has some effectiveness, even casual observation reveals that a person cured of illness is not necessarily healthy.

A large percentage of the population believes (encouraged by the medical profession) that medical doctors are the only scientific healthcare providers. Allopathy (medicine), as chiropractic, is not a pure, but rather an applied, science. This science is clinical in nature, meaning that decisions are made based on statistical analyses of scientific data.

To define chiropractic properly, it is first necessary to understand the meaning of certain terms:

LAWS - Proven facts of science, or often the principles of science.

THEORIES - The generally accepted knowledge of science with data tending toward proof, none seriously challenging.

HYPOTHESES - A statement made, presumed leading to a conclusion; often called the working tools of science, or questions in a data-gathering mode. A hypothesis cannot be agreed or disagreed with, it can only be investigated.

PREMISES or CONJECTURES - A statement made from qualification regarding an occurrence in nature. In other words, an educated guess by one who is qualified to make it.

In the next post, I will explain how chiropractic care assists our bodies in being as healthy, and pain-free, as they can be.

Chiropractic Has Trade-Offs Too – Part 2 (Continued Use Pain vs. Faster Healing)

I keep running into a particular situation in my office and it involves a trade-off – I call it Grandparents’ Syndrome.

Men and women come to me with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, lower-back pain, upper-back pain, neck pain, etc. I ask, “What are you doing to cause this?” They reply, “It hurts when I crochet/work in my woodshop/pick up the baby.” I say, “You need to stop doing that for a while.” The response, “NO!”

I explain that if they are constantly re-injuring the area with activities that are aggravating, the problem will not heal, but continue to get worse. “I HAVE to crochet ten afghans, OR finish building these presents, for the grandchildren.” “I HAVE to pick up the baby.”

I now clarify that if they want to get well as quickly as possible, these activities will have to be temporarily dropped. I can still help it to heal, but the process will be much slower and take longer if they continue. I ask, “Is it worth it to have your hands so numb that you have to be looking at them to continue to crochet? Is it worth back pain and spasms so bad that you can’t sleep at night to finish those woodworking projects. Do you HAVE to pick up the baby?” The answer, “YES!” (Usually, the best concession I can get on picking up the baby is that the children will be taught that Grandma only picks them up when she is sitting down.)

So I tell them that they will be coming to me very often for treatments until the projects are completed, and that the rate of improvement and pain relief will be much slower, but that they can expect to get some relief of their symptoms with each visit to Val Vista Chiropractic.

Imagine:  Patients trading their health and well-being to make their grandchildren happy! There are ALWAYS trade-offs.

Chiropractic Has Trade-Offs Too – Part 1 (Example: Cortisone - Patients Must Choose Their Consequences)

Most things in life have trade-offs. While I don’t want to be perceived as slamming the medical profession, the fact remains that medical care has some of the biggest trade-offs in the world, but many times they aren’t pointed out to us.

Cortisone shots can seem to provide miraculous healing, but the trade-offs are rarely mentioned. Sometimes the trade-offs are worth the risks, but THE PATIENTS should be the ones making the decision, not the doctors. Most medical providers appear to start with the premise that the effects of drugs and surgery are so inconsequential that they are ALWAYS worth the risks.

The first thing that you probably have not been told about cortisone is that the body builds a tolerance to it. Every time you are exposed to cortisone, it is less likely that your body will mount the hoped-for response of decreased inflammation and pain. It appears that the 50% rule applies: 50% of the people will have no response the first time they receive an injection, of the ones who did, 50% will have no response the second time, and so on. We are able to purchase cortisone creams over the counter, and this exposure alone may be sufficient to trigger the tolerance and the body’s resistance to even the first injection.

The importance of this information is that if you have only one or two chances to enjoy a major decrease in pain, you might prefer to save them for a time when you believe there is no other solution. Studies show that when people are told of the risks of painkillers and then allowed to determine their own schedule for receiving them, the necessity for the painkillers is markedly reduced. Many times our pains are not as bad as we first thought.

The second item you may not have heard about is that repeated cortisone exposure causes joint surface deterioration and tendon ruptures. The very joints that we are treating experience a more rapid erosion of the joint surfaces, and tendons in the area become weakened, with an increased likelihood for ruptures and tears, resulting in circumstances worse than those for which we were injected. Interestingly, since cortisone also causes atrophy or loss of the fat pads, someone being injected for plantar fasciitis may actually experience MORE pain when walking due to the decreased cushion.

Thirdly, Prednisone, the long-term version of cortisone, usually in pill form, often causes dramatic weight-gain, generally uncontrollable by standard means.

I recognize that none of these are absolute, and that life-threatening circumstances, or unbearable pain must be alleviated whenever possible. But, all of this knowledge should be shared, and then the patient allowed to make an informed decision regarding the risks he is willing to take.

Cortisone is only one example of the trade-offs made under medical care. In the next post I will talk about a common trade-off that is made under chiropractic care.

Chiropractic Care is Necessary ASAP After an Auto Accident!

I just had it happen again, and everyone needs to hear this.

An existing patient stopped into the office, obviously in pain, and wanted to ask me some questions. She told me she had been in an auto accident five weeks previously, and had left on vacation shortly after.  While she was out of town her neck and back began to hurt and the pain had increased to the point where it was constant, and bad enough to make it hard to sleep.

She said she had been the passenger in a vehicle which had been T-boned and totaled, and asked if I would be able to help her. I told her that we are very successful in assisting people to recover from whiplash-type injuries. She told me that she would pay for it, and I informed her that we either accept Medical Payments coverage, or would wait until the case was settled, since the accident was not her fault. She said her cousin (the driver) told her she had no Med-Pay, and that she couldn’t be treated by me until she saw her medical doctor and had x-rays and an MRI.

I said that her cousin was incorrect: she did not have to see her medical doctor first, and that any physician that ordered an MRI without first seeing the x-rays was, at the least, incompetent. I further stated that it had been my experience that if you went to the medical doctor first, most would do everything they could to dissuade you from coming to see a chiropractor, and would instead prescribe muscle relaxers and painkillers, and possibly physiotherapy, and tell you to be patient because it would just take time.

She told me that she had already been to the medical doctor once, and he had said that it would be fine for her to see a chiropractor, after he had determined that it was necessary. While I am NOT antagonistic toward most medical doctors, my training did not qualify me to perform brain surgery, and their training certainly did not qualify them to evaluate the benefits of chiropractic care. She said she would be calling me within a week to set up the appointments, and start being treated.

Here it is, more than TWO weeks later, and I haven’t heard from her yet. This is a patient who has already been helped by me for another condition, but she apparently has been convinced to avoid seeking chiropractic care for her injuries.

Please take note and understand, NOBODY can tell you what care you have to get – not a relative, not the insurance company, not your attorney, and certainly not your medical doctor. Research has shown chiropractic care to be the most effective treatment for whiplash-type injuries. Chiropractic care can be augmented, but not replaced, by certain types of physical therapy treatments. Muscle relaxers, painkillers, and anti-inflammatories cover, but do nothing to heal, the injuries.

Friends, PLEASE don’t allow yourself to be suckered or strong-armed into NOT getting the chiropractic care you NEED. Untreated whiplash injury symptoms get worse as the years go by (why do you think the insurance companies are so eager to settle as quickly as possible and be released from liability?), and our Arizona state laws allow two years after the accident to file a claim. See a chiropractor immediately and start getting better right away. It will be the best decision you ever made.

Stretches Can Be Hard on the Spine

I recently attended a continuing education seminar conducted by Dr. Charles Annunziata, a chiropractor from the east coast, on “Spinal Disorders from Diagnosis to Treatment”. One of the first things they talked about were stretching exercises. It has been known for many years that the standard stretching exercises provided by most healthcare providers are of no clinical benefit in reducing back and neck pain. More recently the research shows that, when applied in the most common manner, these stretches actually cause disc problems, particularly long-term.

At night, when we are lying down and gravity is not pushing down on our spine, the discs are re-absorbing moisture and ‘pumping’ back up to full capacity. Everyone gains between three-quarters of an inch and two inches in height while sleeping. When we first wake up the discs are stretched and straining from the internal pressure, and anything that increases external pressure causes micro-tears and ruptures of the disc structures.

There are three things that most people do upon awakening that injure their backs every morning:

1. Stretching before getting out of bed. I’m not referring to the ‘yawn and stretch’ before hopping up and heading to the bathroom – I mean pulling both knees up to the chest as hard as possible and holding it for 30 seconds or more before moving on to other similar stretches.
2. Going to the exercise room and doing calisthenics or lifting weights, or going right to work and immediately begin heavy (and usually awkward) lifting with concurrent bending and stooping required by the job.
3. Sitting in a lousy chair with poor posture reading, eating breakfast, or watching TV.

Instead we should be standing and walking, minimizing the above-mentioned activities as much as possible. The research shows that when we are upright, with gravity doing its thing, it takes between one and two hours for our discs to deflate sufficiently for the risk of injury to become minimal. If you still absolutely must do these particular stretches, do them as a cool-down after exercising, or after climbing into bed before going to sleep.

If you want more information, e-mail me and I will send you the references cited by Dr. Annunziata. As always, when the spine is out of place, all of these problems will be magnified. Chiropractors can help you sustain less injury, get rid of pain, and be more healthy – call and give us a chance to show you how!
