Shock-Absorbing Insoles May Support Knee Recovery.

Meniscal tears are a common sports injury that can increase stress on the knee during jumping and landing movements. A recent study found that highly cushioned insoles reduced both impact forces and stress concentrations within the knee joint in individuals recovering from a meniscal tear injury.

Multimodal Approach for Migraine Treatment.

For migraine patients with concurrent neck pain, a recent study found that a treatment approach combining manual therapy, exercise, education, and lifestyle strategies—commonly used by chiropractors—may help reduce migraine intensity, frequency, and disability. The findings suggest that migraineurs who do not respond to usual care or self-management strategies may benefit from a more comprehensive, multimodal approach.

Device Use Linked to Better Emotional Health in Seniors.

While device use in younger populations is often associated with worse physical and mental health outcomes, a systematic review that included 28 studies found that older adults who use smartphones or tablets to connect socially, access health information, and engage in mentally stimulating activities were 32% less likely to experience depression than peers who limited technology use.

Low Zinc Levels May Increase One-Year Mortality Risk in Dementia Patients.

Zinc helps the brain work properly by supporting communication between brain cells and playing a role in memory, learning, and overall mental function. Using data from the TriNetX Research Network, researchers found that zinc deficiency raises the one-year mortality risk in dementia patients by 54%, with severe deficiency increasing the risk by 85%. Future studies will evaluate whether zinc supplementation can improve outcomes in dementia patients with low zinc levels.

Resistant Hypertension Strongly Linked to Severe Sleep Apnea.

Assessments of 300 adults revealed that 94% of those with treatment-resistant hypertension had sleep apnea, with 37% classified as severe—compared to just 2% among normotensive participants in the same study. Repeated oxygen drops during sleep increase cardiovascular strain and may interfere with blood pressure control. These findings suggest that adults whose hypertension does not respond to usual care may benefit from screening for sleep apnea.

Higher Fitness Supports Brain Health.

A study that included 4,030 adults revealed that fitness levels above nine metabolic equivalents a week—15–30 minutes of fast cycling, 20–30 minutes of vigorous flow yoga, or just 5–15 minutes of fast-paced jumping rope, for example—are linked to a 53% lower risk of stroke over a 26.5-year period.

Mid-Back Treatment May Reduce Shoulder Pain.

Subacromial impingement is a shoulder condition in which the tendons of the rotator cuff become pinched between the top of the upper arm bone and the shoulder blade during movement, leading to pain and limited range of motion. A recent meta-analysis of data from twelve studies found that mobilization therapy applied to the mid-back to help restore scapular alignment resulted in improvements in pain and disability in subacromial impingement patients.
