What Is Tennis Leg?

The term tennis elbow is widely known because it’s a common malady associated with tennis (and more recently, pickleball), primarily due to the use of a back-hand stroke. For those who play racquet sports, there’s another common orthopedic condition that includes the word tennis: tennis leg.

Cervical Spinal Stenosis and Whiplash Injury

Cervical spinal stenosis (CSS) is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spaces within the spine through which the spinal cord and the nerves pass. The condition becomes more common with age, affecting 6.8% of adults over age 50 and 9% of those over age 70. While it’s not unusual for a CSS patient to be asymptomatic, a sudden injury to neck tissues can compress, constrict, or injure the spinal cord (or associated nerves) and result in symptoms such as pain, numbness, and/or tingling along the course of that nerve that can affect physical function over time.

Loss of Cervical Lordosis and Its Connection to Headaches

According to a 2015 study, 85.7% of headache patients also experience neck pain, a percentage about 50% greater than the non-headache population. Additionally, several studies have shown that treatment to address musculoskeletal issues in the neck can reduce the frequency, intensity, and duration of several types of headaches, including migraines. One of the most important aspects of the neck is the cervical spine, which serves to protect the spinal cord and support the head with its unique curved shape, also known as cervical lordosis.

Vitamin D and Healthy Aging

Vitamin D, also referred to as calciferol, is a fat-soluble vitamin that is present in a few foods, is added to others, can be taken as a dietary supplement, and is produced endogenously when ultraviolet rays from sunlight reach the skin and trigger vitamin D synthesis. While many people associate a lack of vitamin D with conditions like seasonal affective disorder or rickets, few know the benefits of vitamin D for healthy aging!

Posture and Neck Pain in the Younger Population

After low back pain, neck pain is the most common reason for a visit to a chiropractic office. There are many risk factors for neck pain including postural faults in the neck and upper torso. Let’s look at how common poor posture is among youths and what can be done to reduce the risk for neck pain in children and teens both inside and outside of the doctor’s office.

Why Is Neck Pain So Common?

Neck pain is one of the most frequent reasons patients seek chiropractic care, second to low back pain. One study noted that neck pain was the primary cause for work absence among 25.5 million American adults in 2012. When considering lost productivity, disability, and healthcare spending, neck pain takes a heavy financial toll on society. Why is it so common?

The Relationship Between Migraines and the Neck

Migraine is a neurovascular brain disorder that affects about 15% of the population and is the number one cause of disability in adults under the age of 50. Neck pain has been estimated to be twelve times more likely to occur in migraine patients than in healthy subjects. Similarly, migraineurs with neck pain report more frequent and disabling headaches, as well as increased sensitization in the trigeminocervical complex where sensory input from the face and neck converge. However, there is debate on the nature of the relationship between neck pain and migraines.

Runner’s Knee

Running is a popular recreational activity, and it’s an effective form of aerobic exercise for both young and old. It’s estimated that 50-60 million Americans regularly run or jog on tracks, city streets, or trails. However, running also carries a risk for injury. It’s estimated that at least half of recreational runners will sustain an injury each year, and a common cause of running-related pain is runner’s knee.

Pronator Tunnel Syndrome Vs. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

The median nerve originates from nerve roots (specifically C5-T1) that exit the cervical spine and then merge together in the brachial plexus in the neck and shoulder region traveling down the arm, through the wrist, and into the hand. Compression or restriction of the mobility of the median nerve anywhere along its course can result in the symptoms commonly associated with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), including numbness, tingling, pain, and weakness in the thumb and index, middle, and the thumb-side of the ring finger. So how do doctors of chiropractic differentiate between CTS where the median nerve is compressed at the wrist and another peripheral neuropathy like pronator tunnel syndrome (PTS) in which compression occurs as the nerve passes through the forearm, just below the elbow?

Snapping Hip Syndrome

While chronic hip pain can affect individuals of all ages and activity levels, 30-40% of those who have a history of playing sports and 12-15% of adults over age 60 may develop the condition. Although hip pain can result in a variety of diagnoses, a common form is coxa saltans, or snapping hip syndrome (SHS). This variety of hip pain is characterized by an audible or palpable snap of the hip joint, which can occur on one side or both hips, be painful or painless, and may not always have an obvious or knowable cause.

Initial Provider Choice and Future Low Back Pain-Related Costs

Low back pain (LBP) is a global health problem that will affect most adults at least once in their lifetime. For many, LBP may become a chronic issue that can significantly affect their ability to work and carry out normal activities of daily living. While we often discuss how chiropractic care serves as an excellent front-line treatment for LBP, it’s seldom discussed how seeing a doctor of chiropractic first can save a patient and their insurer from future healthcare expenditures involving medications, advanced imaging, surgery, and adverse effects that can result from these services.

Herniated Disk Resorption

The intervertebral disk is made up of a tough outer annulus fibrosis while the central portion (called the nucleus pulposus) is soft, more liquid-like, giving it a shock-absorbing function. If the integrity of the annulus is compromised, the nucleus pulposus can leak through the torn fibers, which is known as disk herniation. If the direction of herniation is not near a nerve or pain-sensitive tissue, there may be few, if any, symptoms. However, if the herniated tissue presses on a nerve root as it exits the spine, an individual may feel sensory (numbness, tingling) and/or motor (muscle weakness and atrophy) symptoms in the buttock and down into the leg.
