Back exercises One review found evidence that McKenzie treatment may be more effective than passive therapies (such as educational booklets, ice packs, and massage) and flexion exercises at improving pain and disability, but less effective than spinal manipulation or advice to stay active.Another review found no significant difference in short-term disability between McKenzie treatment and the NSAID ketoprofen (follow-up at less than 3 months). One RCT added found no significant difference between graded activity and usual care in pain severity and functional status at 12 months.One RCT added found that neuromuscular training plus CBT improved pain intensity for the 7 days before assessment, but not for the 2 months before assessment, compared with CBT alone. The RCT found no significant difference between treatments in functional status. Categorisation changed (from Unlikely to be beneficial to Unknown effectiveness). For specific exercises, there is a growing but still limited amount of evidence for short-term pain reduction and increased function. Given the methodological flaws associated with RCTs and systematic reviews of back exercises, and the lack of relevant detail of the primary studies, it is not possible to either support or oppose the use of exercise in patients with back pain.

Slow Nerves?

Not much of a reader? Listen...

What would you feel if your nerves were slow? Fatigue? Brain-fog? Pain? Weakness?

The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and connected nerves that go everywhere in the body. Most people don't realize that our nervous system controls every function in the body, from how fast your heart beats to the perception of pain to digestion, just to name a few. If your nerves aren't working right, then you aren't working right.

The speed of transmission of nerve signals is different for different things. For instance, pain travels slower than touch. Touch travels about 350 feet per second; pain travels two feet per second. When you stub your toe you feel the pressure first, then the pain. Thinking is in the mid-range of speed at about 100 feet per second. Maybe even slower for some people you know!

Exercise and movement will keep your nerves firing. This is described in a great book called "Spark" by John Ratey, MD. Dr. Ratey reviewed studies of children and academics as related to exercise and brain function. An excellent book if you like that amount of detail and are a biology nerd like me.

People come to my office with spinal dysfunction. One type of dysfunction is subluxation, an abnormal movement of a vertebra causing nervous system interference. An adjustment is fantastic at restoring the speed of the nerves in the area and allowing the nervous system to do its job.

Chiropractic care helps your spine and nervous system by maximizing nerve transmission. If your nerves are working slow then your body will not be working like it should. Without good nervous system function you are not going to function at 100%.

So don't let your bones get on your nerves. Get checked for subluxations and if found, get treatment. You will not only feel better but your nerves will be able to function better, making you a healthier person from the inside out.

Running on the River Ring in Florissant

I had the opportunity to go for a run yesterday on a trail not far from the office called the Sunset Greenway Trail. It's just north of the office on Humes. A nice path a little over 3 miles going from Old Town Florissant to the River at Sunset Park. You may not know that this path is part of the River Ring.

This River Ring is a plan by "The Great Rivers Greenway District" to create a 600 mile ring of trails around all of St. Louis. This project started 5 years ago with the plan to connect over 100 municipalities in Missouri and Illinois. This River Ring has a spur into Florissant called the Sunset Greenway. I wanted to invite you to get outside and walk, run or ride this season. Incorporate this trail into your walk or run next time your are out. For more information about the River Ring in Florissant visit their website.
