In this video we look at research undertaken to see how chiropractic care may help with enuresis (involuntary urination, especially by children at night). Nocturnal enuresis can cause many additional problems, such as frustration and disapproval from parents, along with low self esteem in the child, teasing from siblings, impacts on social and emotional wellbeing. A study done in 1994 found that 25% of kids had a 50% or more reduction in wet nights [...]
This video breaks down the science and studies behind joint cavitation – the popping noise that occurs when joints are cracked. Studies done on groups who did and didn’t crack the knuckles in their hands show that there is no link between knuckle cracking and arthritis. Modern studies show that popping or cracking of joints is perfectly healthy for joints. Although some chiropractic adjustments include popping sounds and some don’t, there are studies showing [...]
In this video, we look at how all of the body’s senses work and how your brain interprets them. There are millions of tiny senses in your body, located at the end of nerve cells. These sense respond to many things, like touch, chemical changes, temperature, etc. Inflammation from each sense, like sight or touch, notifies the brain that something is wrong. When your sympathetic system (pain and danger system) is constantly active due [...]
In this animation we look at what chronic pain is, and what you can do about getting rid of it. Pain is a bodily response that is supposed to help you – the brain alerts you when something is wrong, so you can fix it. However, chronic pain- pain that lasts more than 3 months, is no longer protective and informative, and is actually damaging. More than 1/3 of people with chronic pain become [...]
In this video, we explore the relationship between chiropractic and cholic. Cholic is an unexplainable condition that causes excessive crying and occurs in 10-30% of all babies. It occurs in otherwise healthy babies, has no known cause, and few solutions. A study done in 2020 recommended two things to reduce cholic – probiotics and chiropractic care. The babies in the study that received chiropractic care had a reduction in crying time, between 33 to [...]
In this video, we explore research with aging and chiropractic care. Older adults often experience many negative problems – many older adults experience memory loss, frailty, falls, arthritis, disorders, hearing and vision impairments, and more. Despite this common downhill spiral in health, there can be a healthy aging process. Chiropractic care can be a cornerstone of maintaining healthy aging. A study done in 2014 found that older adults that regularly received chiropractic care were [...]
In this video, we look at falls in older adults and chiropractic. Every year, 1/3 of older people have a fall – and falls are the leading cause of injury related hospital admission in older adults. Many researchers believe that chiropractic care can help you maintain balance and reduce risk of falls. Because older adults have a harder time processing multisensory information (things like sight and sound at the same time), they can [...]
This video looks at whether neck pain has an impact on sensorimotor function in older people. A study determined how good older adults were with motor functions, like balance. They did this with groups that did and did not have neck pain and found that the adults with neck pain were worse are most of the tests than the group without neck pain. The researchers determined that the ‘altered information’ or the neck pain, [...]
Research studies have shown that spinal function impacts brain function.
Americans are Going to the Chiropractor People visit chiropractors for many reasons. Maybe you have back or neck pain. Perhaps headaches sabotage many of your days, preventing you from focusing on work or family duties. Or joint aches could limit your mobility so workouts feel more painful. Chiropractic care can benefit everyone for these and many other conditions. The term combines the Greek words cheir (hand) and praxis (practice) to describe the hands-on therapy chiropractors use, especially adjusting your spine. [...]
