  • Say Goodbye to Cervicogenic Headaches with Health Wise Chiropractic

  • Chiropractic Treatment for Meniscal Injuries: A Comprehensive Guide

    Chiropractic Treatment for Meniscal Injuries: A Comprehensive Guide What is the Meniscus A meniscus is a crucial part of the knee as it provides cushioning between the femur and the tibia (aka between the thighbone and the shinbone) It often gets injured following a rotational injury like twisting whilst playing netball/basketball.  After the initial trauma to the knee, swelling and then knee locking can occur, unfortunately. How Can Health Wise Chiropractic Help The good news is if it is a vertical stable tear, it will most often heal. Chiropractic adjustments may be helpful in reducing meniscus symptoms. I often find that ultrasound therapy in the acute stages can help with the pain and swelling. We have been helping our community for over 10+ years with their muscle and spinal problems.

  • Is Your Diet Killing Your Brain? An Overview of How Nutrition Impacts Brain Health.

    Is Your Diet Killing Your Brain? An Overview of How Nutrition Impacts Brain Health. Thomas Edison once famously said the chief function of the body is to carry the brain around. Some interesting facts about the brain are It weighs approximately 3 pounds has one hundred thousand miles of blood vessels contains MORE connections than there are stars in THE milky way is the fattest organ in the body? In this post, we draw from the book Grain Brain, to talk about the importance of nutrients and brain function To start let us inform you that glucose is the major source of energy for most cells. The body can manufacture glucose from fat or proteins. Insulin is essential for cellular metabolism. It moves glucose from the bloodstream into muscle, fat, and liver cells. Once it is deposited there, it can be used as fuel If we have too much processed foods, (too much glucose) our cells adapt and cells desensitise themselves to insulin, then insulin resistance occurs. This leads to cells ignoring the insulin and failing to retrieve glucose from the blood. The pancreas is then forced to produce more insulin and people then develop type 2 diabetes. This can lead to high blood sugar and leads to toxic levels in the bloodstream leading to blindness, infections, nerve damage, heart disease, and Alzheimers. From a chiropractic point of view, inflammation runs rampant in the body leading to a lot of muscle problems Researchers here in Australia have also shown that people who have high blood sugar are at a much greater risk of brain shrinkage. Specifically, the loss of brain volume was in regions involved in memory and cognitive skills. We have been helping our community for over 10+ years with their muscle and spinal problems.

  • The Surprising Connection Between Your Brain Health and Your Waistline

    The Surprising Connection Between Your Brain Health and Your Waistline Visceral Fat is the fat that is wrapped around our internal 'visceral" organs like the liver, pancreas, heart, and intestines. Visceral fat is able to trigger the inflammatory pathways in the body and can cause signaling molecules that can disrupt the body's normal course of hormonal actions. As stated in previous health blogs, excessive body fat increases insulin resistance, but also the production of inflammatory chemicals that can lead to brain degeneration. A 2005 study compared waist-to-hip ratios of more than 100 individuals. The larger the person waist to hip ratio, the smaller the brain's memory center (the hippocampus) Another study looked at brain images of individuals in their 60s and 70s. They found that individuals who had a body mass index of over 30, had brains 16 years older than people who had a healthy weight. BUT THERE'S HOPE! A study involved people who were overweight and had insulin problems Those after a year of only dieting had a 70% increase in insulin sensitivity. Those who dieted and exercised had an 86% increase in insulin sensitivity A low-carb high-fat diet is always recommended over a low-fat high-carb diet.

  • How does body size affect life expectancy in men and women?

    How does body size affect life expectancy in men and women? A new study looking at the life expectancy of men and women from the Netherlands has just come out with some interesting results! The study was conducted in 1986 and involved men and women between the ages 50's to 60's and of those 16.7% of men lived to 90 and 34.4% of women lived to 90 The woman that did get to 90, were statistically taller, weighed less, and put on less weight than others researched. Women who were more than 175cm in height were 31% more likely to reach 90 than women less than 160cm in height. With men, no association of height was noted. However, with men, men who did more than 90 minutes of exercise were 39% more likely to reach 90 versus men who did 30 minutes of exercise or less. With exercise in men, for every 30 minutes of exercise, there is a 5% increase chance of reaching 90. For women, it was a bit different. It is recommended that they get 60 minutes of exercise a day We have been helping our community for over 10+ years with their muscle and spinal problems.

    How Chiropractors Can Support Recovery from Muscle Sprain in the Hip and Groin There are so many hip and thigh muscles but we will focus on a few to show how you can help treat and prevent the muscles from re-spraining. Adductor Sprain Most of my patients are usually in sports where there are kicking, sprinting, or jumping (like high jumps or hurdles) You may experience a sudden pulling sensation in the groin which usually makes you stop the activity that you are doing due to the pain and limitation in movement. Most of the pain is around the pubic attachment. How Health Wise Chiropractic Can Help: - Stretching and muscle therapy along with chiropractic adjustments around the hip and pubic symphysis is usually performed. - Taping in a figure of 8 may also be applied to help with walking. Hamstring Strain Did you do a lot of gardening over the weekend? Did you play golf for the first time in yonker donkers? My weekend warrior patients are usually the ones who get problems with the hamstring. Pain is often more distal in the muscle belly and treatment is often the following : - Rest and ice for the first week are often recommended The Chiropractors will ensure both the hamstrings and quadriceps are functioning properly to make sure one does not overcompensate for the other. Quadriceps Strain Do you have to pull pain the anterior tight? Was it after a sprint, kick, or suddenly stopped? It could have been a quadriceps strain people more likely to have a quadriceps strain are people with a leg length difference or an imbalance between the quadriceps of the opposite leg.

  • The Sweet and Bitter Truth About Sugar's Impact on Inflammation and Ageing

    The Sweet and Bitter Truth About Sugar's Impact on Inflammation and Ageing We know that there are different types of sugars so let's talk about them first Fructose, a sugar found in fruit and honey, is a monosaccharide, like glucose, whereas table sugar ( sucrose) is a combination of glucose and fructose, making it a disaccharide (meaning two molecules linked together) High fructose corn syrup (the ones found in soft drinks and processed foods) is a combination of molecules and is dominated by fructose. When we eat whole fruits, which contain fruit sugar, the water, and the fiber will dilate the blood sugar effect that can occur. When we combine fructose and glucose, the fructose might not do much to our blood sugar right away, but the glucose stimulates insulin secretion and alerts fat cells to create MORE storage. The more sugars we eat, the more we tell our bodies to transfer them to fat. Glycation is when sugar molecules bond to proteins, fats, and amino acids.  Advanced glycation end products AGEs, are what cause premature aging of the skin, sogginess, and discolored skin. If we have a high-carb diet, this will speed up glycation. We have been helping our community for over 10+ years with their muscle and spinal problems.

  • Gluten and Headaches: Is There a Connection?

    Gluten and Headaches: Is There a Connection? What is it? Why going gluten-free could help your headaches! Gluten is Latin for... you guessed it glue. It is a protein that holds flour together to make bread products. Most people probably think gluten is just found in the bread you eat, did you know it is also found in cheese spreads, margarine ( to help give it that nice smooth texture) as well as hair conditioners and volumizing mascaras Gluten is made of two main groups of proteins. Glutenins and Gliadins. Gluten sensitivity is caused by elevated levels of antibodies against the Gliadin component of gluten. Genes are activated and the inflammatory cytokines chemicals collect and can attack the brain. Elevated Cytokines are seen in Alzheimer's, Parkinsons' and MS. Researchers have completed brain scans on people with gluten sensitivity and have shown people who suffer headaches and migraines have abnormal white matter in the brain. A 2009 article stated that gluten can cause "interference with the body's neural networks" and that "the implication of gluten causing neurologic network damage is immense" The best thing you could do is go to your G.P and ask about taking a test to see if you are sensitive to Gluten and then try to eliminate gluten to see if that is effective.
