Smartphone Addiction Linked to Chronic Spinal Pain in Young Adults.

Smartphone addiction is a behavioral dependence characterized by excessive, compulsive smartphone use that interferes with daily functioning, relationships, sleep, and mental well-being despite negative consequences. Questionnaires completed by 465 university students revealed that 31% met the criteria for smartphone addiction, which is associated with a two-fold elevated risk of chronic neck, mid-back, or low back pain.

Learning Music Boosts Brain Function in Seniors.

Researchers from University of Sheffield and Western Sydney University report that older adults who learned to play music using either a physical instrument or digital app experienced gains in cognitive and motor function, even if they had no prior musical training. Further, those who used their newly gained skills during improvisation sessions demonstrated even greater improvements in learning, memory, and executive function.

1 in 8 Teens Show Signs of Hearing Loss.

Examinations of more than 3,300 Dutch teenagers revealed 13% exhibited signs of noise-related hearing damage, with roughly 6% experiencing permanent hearing loss by age 18. The research team attributes these issues to frequent exposure to loud recreational noise—from earbuds, concerts, and fireworks—as a key risk, emphasizing the need for early screening, prevention, and safer listening habits during adolescence.

Just 20 Minutes of Exercise Twice a Week May Prevent Dementia.

Using data from the Health and Retirement Study, researchers found that older adults with mild-cognitive impairment were less likely to progress to dementia over an eight-year time period if they exercised at moderate-intensity—like brisk walking, for example—for at least 20 minutes twice a week. The findings demonstrate the ability of regular physical activity to delay or possibly prevent dementia.

Poor Cardiometabolic Health Influences Dementia Risk.

Using data from the China Kadoorie Biobank study, researchers found that individuals with a history of hypertension or diabetes were 21% and 36% more likely, respectively, to develop dementia over a twelve-year period. These findings suggest that preventive strategies targeting cardiometabolic disorders may also protect brain health.

Benefits of Daily Walks.

The Mayo Clinic notes that increasing daily step counts to 4,000–8,000 steps per day (about 2-4 miles or 3.2-6.4 kilometers) can improve blood pressure, weight control, mood, balance, blood sugar regulation, and overall chronic disease risk.

Mobilization Therapy Effective for Acute Whiplash Neck Pain.

A recent clinical trial that included 120 patients with acute neck pain following a motor vehicle collision found that mobilization therapy resulted in faster and better short-term improvement than standard treatment alone. Doctors of chiropractic are trained in the delivery of mobilization and other manual therapies for the management of whiplash-associated neck pain.

Nearly Three-Quarters of Adults Struggle with Daytime Sleepiness!

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine reports that 72% of adults in the United States experience daytime sleepiness, which can negatively affect mood, stress levels, productivity, and relationships. The Academy notes that chronic daytime tiredness may signal insufficient sleep or poor sleep quality due to an underlying health issue, such as obstructive sleep apnea.

Factors Linked to Central Sensitization.

Central sensitization is a state in which the nervous system becomes overly reactive, amplifying pain signals and lowering the threshold at which pain is perceived—an effect that can hinder recovery from chronic low back pain and other musculoskeletal disorders. A recent study found that central sensitization was not directly associated with psychological distress or pain intensity, but it showed mild associations with higher body mass index and low vitamin D status. These findings suggest that poor metabolic health may contribute to central sensitization and should be considered when patients fail to respond to conservative treatment approaches, such as chiropractic care.
