43 yo housewife presents with left shoulder pain which began 2 yrs ago after a kettlebell class. Orthopedist sent her for 6 mos of physical therapy with minimal effect. When that was ineffective, the orthopedist decided she just hadn’t had enough physical therapy and ordered another 6 months-to no avail. 2/10 pain at rest with “tingles.” Particularly sore when driving her children to and from various activities. Raising her arm 90 degrees to the side results in 7/10 pain radiating to her elbow. She is unable to raise her arm higher due to the pain. No imaging was ordered. She wondered if she had a torn rotator cuff and if she should get an MRI.
After the first visit she had full range of motion and no more pain. I have seen her 7 times in the last two years for occasional relapses, but she is otherwise doing well. , ,

Tea Anyone? This article summarizes to say that the active compound EGCG in green tea helps to stablize and fight cancerous cells in the p53 region of the human genome. I recommend organic matcha, and if you're interested in me posting more on this, please comment below!

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is a catechin flavonoid which induces apoptosis in cancerous cells, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here authors use an interdisciplinary approach to show a direct interaction between EGCG and the tumor suppressor p53 and demonstrate....

very active, 62 yo male presented with a stooped, “old man” posture. He complained of severe reflux (GERD) and right-sided low back pain made worse with rightward bending-resulting in a painful, recurring “pop.”

Upon postural examination, his scoliosis (abnormal curvature of the spine) was evident. He couldn’t even lay flat comfortably—he needed several pillows to prop himself up. He had to sleep that way no less than 4 hours after eating to avoid reflux. He was able to bend to the left uninhibited but bending to the right resulted in a recurring “pop” and pain-limiting his full range of motion. I hypothesized that his reflux was at least partly due to the scoliosis and that the lowest rib was buckling under the superior rib, causing the painful “pop” whenever he bent to the right. To confirm my theory, I ordered lateral flexion and standing x-rays.

The x-ray report demonstrated a 25 degree rightward lumbar curve and confirmed my theory regarding the “buckling” of the 12 rib under the 11th on rightward bending. The x-ray also showed degenerative changes to the low back discs and joints-which helped explain the low back stiffness and general achiness. My treatment goals were to prevent progression of the spinal curve, minimize or eliminate the low back pain, and reduce his reflux. I judiciously employed chiropractic joint manipulation, therapeutic exercise, supplements, and lifestyle modifications. The patient has been extremely proactive since day one-which is the main reason for the success achieved despite infrequent visits:

On his 6th visit (9 mos later) pain was absent on right flexion “pop.” 15 mos since his first visit, the “pop” vanished and his reflux was significantly reduced. 2 yrs (11 visits) after I first met him, he is pain free. He stands straight naturally and lays down without needing pillows to prop himself up. His reflux is also significantly improved. I will see him again in 6 months for maintenance care.

I shared this story with a friend who knew of a similar situation in a young woman. In that case, the medical doctors removed the lower ribs to “fix” the problem. I suppose we all have health decisions to make. What would you do? ,

Just in time for Valentines. We've put together a group of tests we feel are vital but rarely done for measuring heart health and preventing heart disease. And we've discounted them all for the month of February to make it easier for you and your loved ones to practice an ounce of prevention.

Plastics found in otherwise healthy human foetus. Very disturbing. Please do your part to limit use of plastics. Use silicone bags instead of ziplock, reusable water bottles instead of plastic ones bought in stores. We owe it to ourselves, our environment and our future generations!!

Plastic has reached the mother's womb. At least a dozen microplastic particles were found in the placenta of 4 mothers. Experts say plastic may have entered ...

Do you know your vitamin D status? We have most of our patients in a vitamin D supplement because it is so important for the immune system (especially now)!

A new study conducted at Northwestern University has concluded that vitamin D may be an essential ingredient to protecting oneself from the coronavirus.
