As the warmer months kick into gear, people all over the country are heading out to the golf course for a round with friends as a summer activity. While the game of golf looks relaxing, the sport places stress on the body, opening the potential for low back pain and other injuries.

Golf is attracting many younger players, but injury prevention remains important for young and old alike. Golfers often contort their bodies into challenging postures while maintaining a bent over stance for 18 holes. Over the course of a round, this movement, coupled with miles of walking, creates a workout. However, it also increases that chance for lower back pain and other injuries...

Whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) is an umbrella term used to characterize the myriad symptoms that can occur when soft tissues are injured during rapid acceleration and deceleration of the head and neck in a whiplash event, such as a rear-end automobile collision. Despite advances in the understanding and treatment of WAD, it is estimated that nearly half of whiplash patients continue to experience ongoing pain and disability for a year or longer. Recent studies have identified reduced neck muscle endurance as a risk factor for chronic WAD, but what happens in a real-world setting when neck muscle strengthening is included as part of treatment?

As comedian George Burns once observed, “You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old.” Burns, who lived to be 100, shared the sentiment of others who believe aging should not be an obstacle to a full and happy life. Yet chronic conditions and disability are common culprits that can rob the “life” out of our later years.

Conversations around what it takes to age well have become more frequent with the aging of the population. In the U.S., the baby boom generation (about 73 million strong) is now between the ages of 60 and 78. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of Americans aged 65 and older will increase 47% (from 58 million to 82 million) by the year 2050.

The primary reason (93%) patients go to chiropractors is for the management of spinal pain complaints. Specifically, 63% go to chiropractors for low back pain, and 30% go to chiropractors for neck pain.

Chiropractic care is primarily mechanical-based care. The distinguishing difference between the mechanical-based care of chiropractic as compared to other mechanical-based disciplines is the spinal adjustment.

The spinal adjustment is a form of manipulation that is delivered in a specific line of direction. A good description of the chiropractic adjustment is found in the publication by orthopedic surgeon William H. Kirkaldy-Willis that notes...

Pain can bring life to a standstill. When movement becomes painful and people are forced to stay home from work or reduce outside activities they enjoy, it can lead to a cascade of consequences including reduced function and productivity, isolation, depression and hopelessness.

“That’s the thing about pain. When you are in agony, it is all-encompassing,” writes Dr. Sanjay Gupta in his latest book about pain.(1) In it, the neurosurgeon acknowledges that, “Because opioids have consumed most of the conversation, most people don’t even realize there are plenty of other effective options to help relieve pain”...
