This is why joints hurt with the cold weather. When you have extreme cold like across most of the US and in the #midwest people tend to notice more #jointpain - So is #coldweather joint pain real?... - #webmd article Does Weather Affect Joint Pain stated, "Barometric pressure -- or the pressure of the air -- can affect joints" https://www.webmd.com/pain-manageme/weather-and-joint-pain - Mount Sinai Hospital co-director of sports medicine Dr James Gladstone was quoted in a weather.com article as stating "#arthritis affects everything else within the joint itself, including the joint lining, which we call the synovium, as well as the ligaments that are within the joint," "All of those tissues have nerve endings in them, so they're going to feel changes in the weather as tightness in the joint, or stiffness." - Cedar-Sinai Medical Center director of the program for #headache and #orofacialpain , Dr. Steven Graff-Radford, states that the same goes for #migraine , which patients also say are linked to weather patterns. #barometricpressure changes, as well as changes in humidity and temperature, might affect the pressure in the brain, or the way the brain blocks pain, though the mechanism is somewhat unknown. "What’s quite clear, however, is that overcast, cloudy and rainy days produce more migraine headaches," he said. https://weather.com//why-your-joints-hurt-when-weather-cha - We’re all getting hit by the #polarvortex That drastic change in weather has left a lot of people new to Vidan Family Chiropractic noting #jointpain . In contrast, established patients that in the past had complained of increased pain due to weather changes have not reported pain even with the drastic change in weather. - I explain what may be happening in your joint causing the pain and what you can do if you're looking for barometric joint #painrelief in #stlouis - #DrVidan #chiropractic #polarvortex2021 #whatilearned #learnedsomethingnew

According to Harvard, research out of Japan and #stlouis , we should look at how stimulating our #nervoussystem contributes to our bodies ability to handle #stress and the potential impact it may have on #immunefunction

One of the most exciting things we do here at our office is to change people’s lives by helping them regain function that their body won’t allowbut when that happens for an 11 month old baby, it’s an even more magical moment! Meet Baby Troy. Baby Troy visited us after seeing multiple physicians and therapists because he could not sit up and would not attempt to crawl or stand. He rolled around to achieve locomotion from one place to another, but his parents said that he appe...ared to be in pain when they would try to help him achieve other milestones and arched his back in protest. Troy’s mom had heard about gentle chiropractic care for babies and brought him in to see if we could help. After one adjustment, Troy could move more without showing signs of pain, and after only his second adjustment he was sitting up on his own! Now, after just a few gentle adjustments, he is sitting, crawling, and pulling himself up to stand! We are so honored to be a part of Troy’s progress and thankful that his parents were open to the benefits of gentle chiropractic care so that he can now continue to reach important milestones. According to the Australian Spinal Research Foundation, if movement doesn’t happen, then neurogenesis, the birth of the new neurons that will create the circuitry of the brain, is compromised. This fact has been supported by numerous studies that show how movement increases cognitive function at any age, but it is essential in development for babies. We are excited that Baby Troy is now moving like a pro and we can't wait to see his next steps...literally!

128 deaths every day from overdoses directly from opioids Leading cause of injury-related death in the United States. 450,000 deaths from an overdose involving any opioid from 1999-2018... Richard Sackler former President of Purdue knew his drug was highly addictive with a 26% chance that someone would be hooked on the drug from their first prescription. Then he had the audacity to blame people for becoming addicted to his drug. We have to hammer on the abusers in every way possible. They are the culprits and the problem. They are reckless criminals. It takes a twisted mind to blame others for your drugs monstrous addiction capability. For the sake of the families who have lost loved ones and to show future drug companies the consequences of their actions, I hope the Sacklers and Purdue are punished to the fullest. https://www.nbcnews.com//oxycontin-drugmaker-purdue-pharma

PEOPLE over Profits?!?! The link between obesity and more severe cases of Covid-19 may inspire governments to get involved by curbing junk-food advertising, banning certain promotions on sugary and fatty foods, and forcing cafes and restaurants to slap calorie labels on more products. The crackdown has given investors in the $3 trillion global food and drink sector reason for pause. As the pandemic throws a spotlight on the importance of a healthy diet, governments beyond ...the U.K. may choose to impose more anti-obesity measures, further shifting the way makers of sodas, breakfast cereals, chocolate bars, and ready-to-eat meals do business health costs will exceed $1.3 trillion a year in the next decade, according to the United Nations. Obesity has almost tripled worldwide in the past four decades and is on the rise all over the world. The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization warned in July of a global pandemic in its own right. Research has shown that obese and overweight people are at higher risk of suffering complications from Covid-19 and death, while at the same time being vulnerable to ailments such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and cancer. It’s a start... https://www.bloomberg.com//covid-puts-a-spotlight-on-the-f
