Today I read an article entitled: Long-term Use of Anti-inflammatory Drugs and Risk of Atrial Fibrillation that was published in 2010 in the journal, Archives of Internal Medicine.

The purpose of their study was to see if there was a relationship between NSAID’s (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) and atrial fibrillation. NSAID’s include Acetaminophen (Tylenol) & Ibuprofen (Advil). Atrial fibrillation is a problem in the top chambers of the heart where they fall out of the normal heart rhythm. This is a serious situation because atrial fibrillation can result in a stroke.

Previous studies have described an association between atrial fibrillation and the use of corticosteroid medications or SAID’s (steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Popular SAID’s include Hydrocortisone & Prednisone.

The results of the study showed that there is an increased risk of atrial fibrillation and the use of NSAID’s and that risk went up with treatment duration longer than 1 year.

The question you should be asking is, “is there an alternative to Tylenol & Advil?” The answer to that question is a resounding “Yes!” If you want to naturally reduce your pain & inflammation Orem Chiropractor – R. Ned McArthur, D.C. provides gentle chiropractic and effective nutritional solutions.

I came to Dr McArthur’s office a wreck. I had severe headaches, nausea, dizziness, stiffness in the neck and my shoulders were as hard as rocks. Dr McArthur was concerned about me and made sure I understood the process I needed to go through to get better. I have made drastic improvements on my overall health since then. I almost never get a headache. My nausea and dizziness are gone. My energy is back. My neck and shoulders feel like they should. My body is more capable of moving how I need it to. Thanks so much for helping me feel like a normal person. Something I haven’t felt very often in my life

Orem Chiropractor & Benefits of Chiropractic Care

If you are looking for a chiropractor in Orem, Utah, then you should check out the Google directory under Orem chiropractors, which gives a list of some of the most popular chiropractors in Orem, their education, their techniques, their therapies and their specializations.

I read a study today where the nervous system influences the immune system in the blood. The researchers looked at what happens when you get an adjustment to your middle back. It turns out, when you get an adjustment to your mid back your immune cells make more antibodies in the blood.

The researchers first took blood from everyone in the study. Next, they divided the people up into three groups. The first group got nothing done to them – they were the control group. The second group got their backs pushed in a funny way, but nothing was really done to them. The third group received real adjustments to their mid back where there was a popping sound. Then, they measured the blood again 1/2 hour later, and again 2 hours later. The adjustment group won.
Researchers said,

“…results of the present pilot study provide the first experimental evidence that systemic sequelae of spinal manipulative therapy include functional changes in the ability of peripheral blood lymphocytes to respond to immunoregulatory mediators and the clinical relevance of such alterations should be further explored.”

English please?

Those who get adjusted have more efficient cells in their immune system.

WOW!

The researchers found that those who received the real adjustments didn’t make new immune cells, but their immune cells were more efficient at fighting infection. When researchers injected inflammatory chemicals, those who got adjusted made more antibodies (proteins that fight bacterial and viral infections) compared to those who didn’t get adjusted.

VERY COOL!

This study shows that because the nervous system is so closely involved spine and the immune system, that chiropractic adjustments when needed in the area, can boost the immune response to infection. Of course more work is needed to find out exactly what’s going on, but this is an example of a controlled scientific study that shows just one of the many benefits of chiropractic care.

Orem Chiropractor Car Accident Injury Whiplash Neck & Back Pain

A recent report states that car accidents cost over 99 billion annually and that about 50% of low impact accidents go unreported. Needless to say there is a lot at stake.

The question is can injury severity be associated with amount of car damage following a car accident? Meaning that if you are involved in a “minor” fender bender are your injuries going to be less than someone who has been involved a “major” accident.

To answer this question let’s review a study titled Risk factors for long term treatment of whiplash injury in Japan: Analysis of 400 cases by Hijioka, et al. (1) This is an important study because it answers to very important questions:

1. Does crash severity correlate with the risk for injury?
2. Does crash severity correlate with the severity of injury?

Researchers classified car damage on the basis of six grades:

Degree of Property Damage

Grade 0 No damage
Grade 1 Slight damage
Grade 2 Damage to bumper
Grade 3 1/3 of car damage
Grade 4 ½ of car damaged
Grade 5 Total destruction of car

Although this grading scheme is not described in detail, the type of damage described by Grade 1 most likely represents cosmetic damage, such as scuff marks, paint transfers, scratched paint, broken trim pieces or taillight lenses, etc. These types of crashes are often characterized as no damage accidents in the U.S. Thus, the first two grades (Grade 0 & Grade I) are the same as “no damage” crashes.

When the authors break down the 400 cases on the basis of damage alone, it turns out that a large number of the people (over 25%) were injured in the Grade 0 & Grade 1 categories, which is an interesting fact in light of the false idea that injuries are unlikely when there is no car damage.

In fact, if this were true we would expect few injuries in the first two categories and a increasing number of injuries as accidents severity increases. Instead, we see just the opposite. As damage increases, there are fewer people injured. The researchers also showed quite clearly that treatment duration – which is used to measure injury severity – also fails to follow a linear pattern. Meaning that as accident severity increases, we should see an increase in the amount of treatment. The researchers did not find this relationship. Thus, this study offers very compelling evidence that the “no damage – no injury” notion cannot be supported.
