I would guess that at one point or another you have had some type of ache in your body. This is a pretty safe assumption. I would bet that you have also had some kind of problem that was brought on by something very small. Let me give you an example. You wake up in the morning and walk into the bathroom and as you go to squeeze the toothpaste out of the tube you drop the lid on the floor. So you bend down to pick it up and zap, lightning sharp ache shoots up your spinal column and back down again. You try to stand up straight but for some reason it feels like someone is pressing against your back causing you to hunch over and making it impossible to straighten up.

British scientists examined 300 people who became severely obese at a young age. This research was done to determine whether a faulty gene was involved that may have caused them to become obese. Researchers were looking specifically at the gene in charge of the leptin receptor. Leptin is a hormone in the body that controls appetite and can influence how much we feel like eating. It has been formerly implicated in animal obesity studies.

The latest information does not come from Grandma Smith’s Home Book of Healthy Remedies but from the most prestigious orthopedic journal in the world, Spine. Three recent articles in this medical journal (The Impact of Positive Sagittal Balance in Adult Spinal Deformity (Spine Journal), Spinal Kyphosis Causes Demyelination and Neuronal Loss in the Spinal Cord: A New Model of Kyphotic Deformity (Spine Journal) and A hypothesis of chronic back pain: ligament subfailure injuries lead to muscle control dysfunction (European Spine Journal) ) not only have a lot of big words in their titles but they confirm the concept that the shape of your spine determines the function of your body.

Successful weight loss is not just a matter of losing pounds. The emphasis needs to be on abandoning body fat and avoiding loss of lean body tissue, primarily muscle mass. Why is this the key to long-term success? Because muscle requires 15 times the energy compared to fat to survive (7.5 Calories per day for muscle versus 0.5 calories per day for fat). The more lean tissue, the more calories one can consume once desirable body weight is achieved. Overall, a moderate diet of at least 1000 calories of high quality food per day and exercise is clearly the best approach because 80% of the weight lost is fat. This plan protects lean body mass, which is critical to keep from gaining the weight back again.

Can your chiropractor keep your brain from shrinking? The Journal of Neuroscience brings sobering news to chronic back pain sufferers. Scientists found that even one year of chronic back pain can age the brain 10 to 20 years. 26 people with chronic, continuous pain of more than a year were compared with 26 healthy people. The researchers theorize that the stress of chronic pain causes “burnout shrinkage.” But that may not be a life sentence.

New Century Spine Centers in San Diego offers some of the most advanced spinal decompression therapies for bulging and herniated discs. Since offering treatment for herniated and bulging discs with the drx9000 spinal decompression device, they have heard over and over things like “I can’t believe I was actually thinking about surgery. But when I got my results of my MRI and I had multiple herniated discs, my other doctor said it was my only choice. If it wasn’t for the news special they had seen on TV and your free reports with all the proof, I never would have known about the spinal decompression therapy program and I’d probably still be suffering today.

There is a lot of research about the treatment for back pain. One of these treatments for back pain is chiropractic care. There are lots of scientific studies and it is published in many Medical Journals. Some of the findings conclude that the average patient receiving care by a chiropractor for back pain is better off than fifty four to eight five percent of the patients receiving other common and accepted medical back pain treatments.
