The question of whether a doctor’s gender impacts a patient’s treatment outcome is not a new one. For instance, a systematic review and meta-analysis published in the Journal of Health Services Research & Policy in July of 2013 looked at this very same issue.

Medial tibial stress syndrome can signal more serious injury

Stephanie Kramer November 22, 2017

Research Results Chiropractors see a lot of running injuries. Shin splints are among the most common and persistent types of injury among them. A recent study found that medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS) can sideline a new runner for 70 days or more. The diagnosis is usually uncomplicated, but chiropractors should also rule out other causes. Occasionally, a painful shinbone may be a sign of a more serious problem. “Shin splints, stress fractures, and anterior compartment syndrome can look alike,” says Jason Hare, DC, who owns Pure Chiropractic in Nanaimo, BC, Canada. “All three injuries are easily confused.”

Research Results In your practice, it is likely that you have a significant number of patients who deal with carpal tunnel, diabetic neuropathy, and general muscle pain. In addition to a treatment plan of regular adjustments, there are nutrients that can help: vitamin B6, magnesium, and zinc, to name three. And while each one is probably in your patients’ regimens, they may not be experiencing the full potential of these ingredients. And that is because the forms of vitamin B6, magnesium, and zinc make all the difference.

Decreasing 3 definitive conditions of lumbar spine function

Kristina Petrocco-Napuli October 5, 2017

Most chronic low back pain is the result of some form of structural weakness or failure. If leg or foot asymmetries or misalignments exist, abnormal forces can interfere with spinal function and contribute to health concerns all along the kinetic chain—especially the generalized condition of “back pain.” The following conditions can have a major impact on lumbar spine function. In each case, orthotic supports can decrease external forces and contribute significantly to a cost-effective treatment outcome: Excessive pronation and/or arch collapse.

Are you missing the natural way to adapt to stress?

Terry Lemerond October 3, 2017

Research Results Recommending an adaptogen can be the perfect answer for your patients dealing with physical and mental stress. Adaptogens, a class of herbs that help the body adapt to stress, include many botanicals like ashwaghanda (shown upper left) and rhodiola (shown upper right) that are safe, natural, and backed by clinical research. While adaptogens have been used medicinally for thousands of years, we are still learning about these unique medicinal plants. Most experts agree that the effects of adaptogens involve the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, inflammation, and various gene pathways.
