Low Back Adjustment May Help Treat Common Knee Disorder.

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a condition characterized by anterior knee pain that can range from mild to severe and is often associated with abnormal contact or tracking of the posterior surface of the patella (kneecap) against the femur (thigh bone). In a study involving 30 individuals with PFPS, researchers found that spinal manipulative therapy applied to the lumbar spine twice weekly for four weeks was associated with improvements in knee pain and quadriceps strength. These findings suggest that spinal manipulation may play a supportive role in the management of PFPS.

Sleeping in on Weekends Can Be Okay.

While ideally adolescents and young adults would get adequate sleep during the week and wake at consistent times each day, this is not always the case. In a study of nearly 1,100 adolescents and young adults, those who routinely slept in on weekends to compensate for lost sleep had a 41% lower risk of daily depressive symptoms than their peers who experienced insufficient sleep but did not catch up on weekends.
