When people suspect they have carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), it’s typical that their first thought is that their condition will require surgery and a lengthy recovery. While surgery may be warranted in emergency situations, treatment guidelines encourage patients to seek non-surgical options first. So how do non-surgical approaches like manual therapy interventions —provided in a chiropractic setting—compare with surgery to treat CTS?

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Linked to Higher Emotional Resilience.

In a study involving 40 healthy young adults, researchers observed that participants with higher cardiorespiratory fitness experienced lower levels of negative emotions, such as anger and anxiety, when exposed to stress-inducing images. The findings suggest that regular physical activity may help improve emotional regulation during stressful situations.

Headaches are a common complaint among patients with whiplash associated disorder (WAD) following a motor vehicle collision, slip and fall, or sports injury. While in some cases, the cause of WAD-associated headache can be a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI), in many instances the underlying cause of WAD-related headaches can be injury to the neck. How is this possible?

Several studies have found that a treatment approach that combines specific exercises with spinal manipulation, mobilization, and nutrition is often ideal for reducing pain and improving function in patients with low back pain. But how does your doctor of chiropractic know which low back exercises to recommend and which to avoid? The answer: it depends.

Healthier Lifestyle May Reduce Stroke Risk.

A recent study found that older adults who adopted a healthier lifestyle—which may include behaviors like a healthier diet, exercise, reduced sedentary time, not smoking, managing stress, and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption—had a 23% lower risk of stroke over the following seven years when compared with participants who maintained their baseline lifestyle. Conversely, study participants who transitioned to a less healthy lifestyle during this time frame experienced a 41% high risk of stroke.

A myofascial trigger point (TP) is a hyper-irritable area in skeletal muscle that is commonly detected by palpating (feeling with the fingers). Although more sophisticated ways exist for locating TPs—ultrasound, microdialysis, electromyography, infrared thermography, and MRI—palpation remains the most utilized due to its simplicity, efficiency, and low cost. For patients with migraine and tension-type headaches, TPs are commonly found at the base of the skull/upper neck, paraspinal neck muscles, the upper trapezius, and/or the levator scapulae musculature.
