🚨NEW RESEARCH ALERT🚨

When managing chronic pain, it is important to weigh the risks and benefits of various treatment options. Gabapentin, originally developed to control seizures, is now commonly prescribed for chronic nerve pain. While it can be effective, new research reveals that long-term Gabapentin use may significantly increase the risk of dementia and cognitive impairment.

Listen as Dr. Kurt Olding breaks down the findings and explains why the conservative decompression therapy offered at Minster Chiropractic Center could be a safer, more effective solution for your chronic spine-related pain.

The 5 Times Sit to Stand Test (5xSST) is not only a valuable tool for assessing fall risk in clinical and research settings—it also serves as a simple at-home exercise to help reduce your own risk.

Research suggests that greater ability to rise may be linked to longevity. In fact, difficulty performing this movement has been associated with increased mortality risk. This highlights how lower body strength/stability plays a key role in fall prevention and overall health.

Watch Dr. Kurt Olding demonstrate how to perform the 5xSST. Give it a try and let us know what you think!
