Shoulder, Elbow, or Wrist Pain May Warrant a Spine Evaluation.

In a case series of three patients with spinal dysfunction and upper extremity pain that did not correspond with typical pain referral patterns from the spine, researchers found that spinal manipulation and mobilization—manual therapy techniques commonly used by chiropractors—were associated with clinically significant improvements in arm pain and disability. The findings suggest clinicians should include the spine when evaluating patients with shoulder, elbow, and wrist pain.

Heart-Healthy Habits May Support Independent Living.

The American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8 (LE8) is a set of health-related behaviors and clinical measures—including not smoking, achieving adequate sleep duration, maintaining a healthy weight, eating a nutritious diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and having healthy levels of blood glucose, cholesterol, and blood pressure—that are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. According to a recent study, older adults with high adherence to LE8 had lower odds of disability in basic activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, eating, and getting out of bed.

SI Joint Dysfunction Can Mimic Low Back Problems.

The sacroiliac (SI) joints connect the spine to the pelvis and help transfer forces between the upper and lower body. Previous research suggests SI joint dysfunction may contribute to 15–30% of chronic low back pain cases, yet it is often overlooked. In this study, 100 patients with suspected SI joint dysfunction experienced rapid and persistent improvements in pain after SI joint manipulation. These findings suggest it may be worthwhile to consider SI joint dysfunction when low back or sciatica-like pain does not respond as expected to lumbar spine-focused treatment.

Treatment for Neck-Related Headaches.

Cervicogenic headaches are secondary headaches that originate from dysfunction in the cervical spine or surrounding neck structures. A systematic review that included 29 studies found that manual therapies are an effective intervention for reducing cervicogenic headache intensity. Treatment for cervicogenic and other types of headaches are a leading reason patients seek chiropractic care.
