Whenever your run, walk or stand, your feet form the foundation of your body. Sometimes, though, the shape of your foot or an injury can affect the angle at which your foot strikes the ground. If severe enough, this can cause pain in the foot, as well as in the legs, low back and other areas of the body.

Because of the importance of the feet in our lives, stabilizing them is an important part of chiropractic care. If you have an imbalance in your feet, your chiropractor may suggest orthotics. These customized shoe inserts can reduce symptoms and improve your walking and running without the need for treatments like surgery.

How Orthotics Work

Orthotics change the angle at which the foot strikes the ground. They can also absorb some of the impact when you walk or run, improve your balance and shift pressure from sore parts of the foot.

One type of orthotics is used for people with soft tissue problems, such as diabetes. These shoe inserts can reduce the pressure on areas of the feet where ulcers (open sores) may occur. This may reduce the need for amputation.
The other type of orthotics is designed to improve how the foot strikes the ground. They basically work by bringing the ground up to the foot. These can also be used to treat conditions such as tendinitis and shin splints.

For example, people whose ankle rolls inward as they walk or run — pronation — may be given orthotics to keep their foot, ankle and leg in alignment. This can reduce pain in the feet, knees and hips. It may also reduce the wear and tear on the joints.

Fitting of Orthotics

Over-the-counter shoe inserts are available at pharmacies and sports or shoe stores. In some cases, these will work fine. For more serious foot conditions, a customized orthotic can work better. These are shaped specifically to fit your foot. They are also made of stronger materials and will last longer.

To fit your orthotics, your chiropractor will examine your feet and watch you walk. He or she will also ask you about symptoms that you might be having, such as pain in the foot or legs, and whether you have any health conditions.

If your chiropractor decides that orthotics are a good option for you, he or she will take a three-dimensional picture of your foot or use a mold to create a replica of your foot shape. These will be used to create an orthotic that is designed to improve your comfort and mobility.

If you are experiencing pain with your feet, legs or lower back, ask us whether orthotics might be a good fit for you.

No one can be blamed for wanting relief, especially when acid reflux makes it feel like molten lava is shooting up through your esophagus. Antacids can bring quick relief, but their long-term use can also bring lasting problems. It’s better to identify and address the underlying causes of acid reflux than simply to squelch the symptoms.

Acid reflux occurs when the contents of the stomach backwash into the esophagus. These contents can include stomach acid, bile, food, or sour liquid. Although the lining of the stomach is designed to handle such an acidic environment, the more delicate tissue of the esophagus is not. As a result, symptoms include indigestion, a burning sensation in the chest (heartburn), and tasting regurgitated food or liquid in the back of your mouth.

Many factors can cause acid reflux, including overeating, obesity, or the types of foods you eat. Spicy foods, fried foods, coffee, chocolate, and citrus are frequently cited as triggering acid reflux. When the reflux becomes constant, it’s worth exploring some of the common underlying conditions.

Possible underlying causes of acid reflux

H. pylori overgrowth: An H. pylori infection occurs in the stomach and is the most common chronic bacterial infection, affecting more than 50 percent of the world’s population. An H. pylori infection may promote acid reflux by decreasing stomach acid. Although acid reflux is associated with too much acidity, the truth is in many cases too little stomach acid causes acid reflux, which I’ll explain in the next paragraph.

Too little stomach acid: Sufficient stomach acid is necessary to break down dietary proteins, ensure absorption of vital nutrients and minerals, and protect the digestive tract from harmful bacteria. It’s believed that low stomach acid, or hypochlorhydria, results in improperly digested food lingering too long in the stomach. Eventually it backwashes into the esophagus, and although the contents are not acidic enough for the stomach, they are too acidic for the delicate esophageal tissue. Factors that cause too little stomach acid include an H. pylori infection, a nutrient-poor diet, stress, and antacid medications.

Acid reflux usually just one of many digestive symptoms

Acid reflux is often just one of many digestive symptoms that can result from poor digestion, food intolerances, chronic stress, gut infections, and other factors. In fact, one study showed that participants with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) were nearly twice as likely as non IBS participants to suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a chronic, advanced form of acid reflux. Conversely, another study found a majority of participants with GERD also suffered from IBS.

Although antacids can bring temporarily relief, they may also worsen your acid reflux problem in the long run. Ultimately, antacids reduce stomach acid, hinder digestion, and inhibit nutrient absorption. In addition, antacids are shown to weaken bones and increase the risk of food poisoning.

Sciatica is a very common condition that affects many of us at some point in our life. Sciatic pain is typically a sharp electrical pain or dull ache that radiates down either one or both legs. The more swollen and irritated the nerve is, the further down the leg the pain goes.

Typically the pain is felt in the lower back, buttock and leg, though some only feel pain in their buttock and/or leg. The sciatic nerve is the largest and longest nerve in the body. It is made up of nerves from the 4-5th lumbar, and 1st-3rd sacral nerve roots. Nerves are normally able to handle compression and stretching that is part of day to day living without causing problems. Due to some traumatic event, or an unusual or prolonged activity, i.e. bending and twisting in the garden all weekend, or a long drive, the nerve can become swollen aka inflamed.

Sciatic pain is often associated with changes to the structure of the spine, i.e. degenerative changes such as degenerative disc disease, disc bulging and herniated discs, etc. Though it is important to understand that these degenerative changes are not always the cause, many of us have herniated discs and will never know it! The degenerative changes themselves are typically not enough to create the sciatic pain. It is the overdoing what are body can handle that causes the problem. The swelling is a signal for the brain to protect the area causing the back and/or leg to become painful and sensitiized. The swelling and sensiitization can then make movements and postures of the back and leg very uncomfortable.

Sciatic pain is usually worse with either sitting or walking/standing. Sometimes the pain is worse with both. Sciatic pain can come on very suddenly or can be gradual in nature. Sciatic pain maybe also present in signs of nerve compression like pins and needles, loss of feeling or loss of strength in the leg muscles.
Sciatic pain can typically be managed very well with a combination of manual and physical therapy, activity/posture modification, time and medication.

The manual and physical therapy first starts with a history taking to identify where the pain is, what has caused or is causing the problem, what you have found worsens or eases the pain, any other past medical history, medications, hobbies, sports, work, etc.

The physical exam would typically involve:

•Looking at your mobility to see if particular motions increase or decrease the pain.
•Testing the physical health of your nervous system.
•Palpation and mobility testing of the vertebrae.
•Testing movement and/or positions to determine which relieve or aggravate the leg pain.

Once the physical exam is completed treatment can be undertaken. There is good evidence that Manual Physical Therapy will get you better more quickly. Treatment can consist of:

•Manual therapy techniques directed at improving vertebral mobility to open the space or take pressure off the nerve.
•Exercises designed to improve mobility, open the space for nerve and/or reduce tension on the nerve.
•Education on pain management strategies, postures, sleeping position and activities to help reduce the pain.
•Physiotherapy modalities such as electrical stimulation, heat and ice to help with pain.
•Lumbar traction can be performed in a variety of positions to help reduce pain.

At home it is important to:

•Be patient and relax. There are lots of scary stories and words associated with sciatica i.e. ‘slipped discs’, ‘pinched nerves’, etc. Our body does an amazing job in dealing with the stress and strains we put it through. Our body and nervous system does well dealing with the natural wear and tear we go through as we age. Sometimes we over do it, then we need some treatment and need to let things settle down. The more stressed and anxious you are, the worse the pain will be. Deep breathing and progressive muscle relaxation exercises can really help.
•Find and use the positions and postures your manual or physical therapist has suggested.
•Try to remain as active as the pain will allow. Some discomfort with moving around is normal. Research has proven that keeping active i.e. puttering around (stand a little, sit a little, walk a little) will allow you to get better quicker.
•Find and use sleeping positions that will help alleviate the pain.
•Use ice and/or heat. If the pain is less than 48 hours old use ice. Use heat if the pain has been present for more than 48 hours. Heat can be in the form of hot showers, an electric heating pad, a microwaveable pad or hot water bottle.
•If the pain is constant you may benefit from anti-inflammatory medication. If the pain is keeping you from sleeping you might consider a muscle relaxant. If the pain is unbearable then you might consider a pain reliever. It is best to discuss this with your physician.

If you have sciatic pain, we look forward to helping you out. Please contact us at:

For some women, their monthly period is no big deal. For others, it’s a grueling journey through depression, anxiety, irritability, pain, and more. If you think premenstrual syndrome (PMS) is too awful to be natural, you’re right — PMS is a symptom of a hormone imbalance often caused by too much stress.
Although a variety of factors can cause hormonal imbalances and PMS, one of the more common is low progesterone caused by long term chronic stress.
Low progesterone symptoms:

Depression
Mood swings
Changes in weight or appetite
Insomnia
Anxiety
Crying easily
Irritability
Poor focus and concentration
Fatigue
Frequent or irregular menstruation
Low sex drive
Migraines

How stress lowers progesterone
Chronic stress causes pregnenolone steal, a situation that causes progesterone deficiency and hormonal imbalances. Pregnenolone is a precursor hormone used to make progesterone and the stress hormone cortisol.
The body can only make so much pregnenolone. This means that if stress is always high, it “steals” pregnenolone from progesterone to make cortisol in order to meet the demands of stress. This causes an imbalance between progesterone and estrogen.

Factors that cause pregnenolone steal
Progesterone cream use can further skew hormones. It’s better to address the causes of low progesterone, which is typically stress-induced pregnenolone steal. Causes of pregnenolone steal and PMS include:

•Sugar and sweeteners, excess processed carbs — rice, pasta, bread, pastries, etc.
•Excess caffeine
•Food intolerances — gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, corn, nuts, grains, etc.
•Digestive issues — bloating, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, leaky gut, pain, etc.
•Lack of sleep
•Inflammation — joint pain, chronic pain, skin rashes, brain fog, fatigue, etc.
•Autoimmune disease (such as Hashimoto’s)
•Overdoing it; over exercising
•Feeling constantly overwhelmed
•Poor nutrition
•Reverse pregnenolone steal to soothe PMS

Ways to reduce pregnenolone steal include an anti-inflammatory diet, restoring gut health, and managing autoimmunity.
A variety of compounds can help soothe PMS, such as omega 3 fatty acids and gamma-linoleic acid (GLA—evening primrose oil, borage oil, or black currant oil.

Supporting serotonin, a brain chemical that promotes well-being, may help with PMS mood symptoms — tryptophan, 5-HTP, St. John’s Wort, and SAMe.
This is a broad overview. Ask our office for more advice on using natural therapies to alleviate PMS and support healthy hormones.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, which leads to progressive deterioration of motor function due to loss of dopamine-producing brain cells. The cause of PD is unknown but researchers speculate that both genetic and environmental factors are involved; some genes have been linked to the disease.

Primary symptoms include:
Tremor
Stiffness
Slowness
Impaired balance
Shuffling gait later in the disease

Secondary symptoms include:
Anxiety
Depression
Dementia

Most people with Parkinson’s disease are diagnosed when they are 60 years old or older, but early-onset Parkinson’s disease also occurs.

Several staging systems for Parkinson’s disease exist.
The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation supports 5 stages, which include:
Stage 1 Symptoms are mild and do not interfere with the person’s quality of life.
Stage 2 Symptoms worsen and daily activities become more difficult and take more time to complete.

Stage 3 is considered mid-stage Parkinson’s disease. The individual loses balance, moves more slowly, and falls are common. Symptoms impair daily activities, for example, dressing, eating, and brushing teeth.
Stage 4 Symptoms become severe and the individual needs assistance walking and performing daily activities.
Stage 5 is the most advanced stage of Parkinson’s disease. The individual is unable to walk and will need full time assistance with living.

With proper treatment, most individuals with Parkinson’s disease can lead long, productive lives. The life expectancy is about the same as people without the disease.

Lifestyle Management
While the medical community still tries to figure out which therapy works best to cure IBM, a recent technological breakthrough called KeegoTM , allowed patients with PD to achieve a remarkable improvement in their lifestyle and overcome feelings of guilt and fear. Without the KeegoTM device, patients walked slowly, had to stop when taking stairs from exhaustion, had a difficult time picking up objects from the floor, exerted strenuous effort, when getting up from a chair to walk down the hall. Patients with PD wearing a KeegoTM device were able to achieve healthy movement patterns during several clinical trials. The same patients were able to walk about quickly, had no trouble walking up or down the stairs, picked up objects from the floor with little effort, and were able to easily sit down, and get up from the seat without propping themselves up with their hands.

If you suffer from PD, please see a specialist at the PRI clinic. They are specifically trained to properly introduce your body to the KeegoTM device, which will allow your body to achieve a remarkable improvement in your lifestyle. We’ll be more than glad to help you when you call or follow these links.

Check Yourself, Before You Wreck Yourself
Ah, yes, Tis’ the holiday season again! The following top 7 tactics will help get you through the holidays without disaster.

1. Bring your own.
Potluck dinners make the perfect opportunity to “sneak” in a healthy veggie dish or that new chicken recipe you’ve been dying to prepare. Better yet, become the host, which gives you hands-on abilities to make succulent yet healthy dishes that even your most carbohydrate-crazy friends will enjoy.

2. Eat before you go.
Think about your last dinner party. It probably started an hour late, which meant you felt famished by the time the salad arrived. Take control and go to your next social function pleasantly full. You can still enjoy the food but you’ll bypass the temptation to devour stale fruitcake cookies as you wait for dinner.

3. Wear fitted clothing.
Elastic waistbands have no business at holiday social functions. If nothing else, they give you permission to indulge in second helpings of cranberry-walnut stuffing. Instead, wear your most fitted little black dress or the slimmest (and slimming) top and skinny jeans you can find. You’ll think twice before devouring that gooey cinnamon-raisin bread.

4. Have a serious bathroom talk.
You’ve reached an excruciating dilemma: go for that second apple cinnamon pasty or respect yourself in the morning. Proceed to the bathroom or nearest private space immediately. You’re going to need to have that talk with yourself in the mirror: are you going to let a wimpy pastry be your undoing? Hopefully in your purse or your wallet you have your mission statement and that picture of who you want to look like (Just position your head on a picture of your ideal body). Time for some tough love: pull those out and talk your way through this temptation.

5. Bring your best friend to call you out.
Speaking of tough love: nothing like a tell-it-like-it-is friend to give you the “oh no you don’t!” look when you’re about ready to nose dive into the turtle cheesecake or smell the wonderful waft of cinnamon buns in the mall. Face it, even the best of us lapse in judgment sometimes, and brutal honesty from a friend or family member can be your best defense against succumbing to a pear-cranberry streusel.

6. Keep my 3-bite rule.
A world-renowned pastry chef has catered your office party with his dark chocolate petites fours. Have 3 polite bites – (we’re talking how you would eat it on live TV, not in your living room) – of dessert and step away. You’ll appease your sweet tooth without coming off as a wet blanket. Just be warned: not every baked good your co-worker brings in and other holiday indulgences constitute the 3-bite rule. Choose judiciously.

7. Go for the healthy stuff first.
Holidays are synonymous with buffets and endless potluck dinners. Just because you have an all-you-can-eat invitation doesn’t mean you need to do so. One trip through the line and call it quits. Fill up on lean protein and leafy greens and you’ll be less likely to crave the candied walnut sweet potato casserole.
This holiday season let’s engage in mindful indulgence. Afterwords, make sure to do a checkup with your chiropractor. Chiropractic works to restore the health of your central nervous system, so your entire body can reap the benefits. To experience the perks of regular chiropractic care, schedule an appointment with PRI today!

Some people mistakenly think that people who are overweight or obese would never feel hungry—after all, they have all that extra fat to burn. But in a cruel twist of metabolic trickery, carrying excess fat can actually make you hungrier thanks to a phenomenon called leptin resistance.
What is leptin?

Leptin is a “satiety” hormone secreted by fat cells that tells the brain when you have had enough to eat. Eating causes the secretion of leptin, which signals that the stomach is full and it’s time to stop eating. Between meals or during long periods without food, leptin levels drop, triggering hunger and motivating you to eat and replenish the body’s energy stores.

Leptin resistance causes you to always feel hungry
Because fat cells secrete leptin, overweight and obese people should never feel hungry. Unfortunately, the reverse happens. Excess fat secretes too much leptin, bombarding leptin receptors on cells. Eventually these cells become overwhelmed and shut down their leptin receptors to protect themselves. This is called leptin resistance—leptin can no longer get into the cells to deliver their message that the stomach is full and it’s time to stop eating.
Hence the leptin-resistant person always feels hungry and is prone to overeat, even if she or he is carrying plenty of fat. In addition to causing chronic hunger, leptin resistance doubly vexes the overweight person by promoting fat storage and making it tough to lose weight.

Leptin serves other roles beyond hunger and satiety. It is also important for fertility, libido, and puberty. Leptin resistance could explain why obese girls are 80 percent more likely to start puberty earlier than girls of normal weight.
High triglycerides block leptin.

High triglycerides have been shown to block leptin. Diets high in alcohol, sugars and carbohydrate-rich foods, such as breads, pasta, rice, and potatoes, raise triglycerides considerably. High triglycerides have been shown to block the ability of leptin to pass into the brain to tell it you’re full.

Diet can reverse leptin resistance and chronic hunger
The key to unwinding leptin resistance is to adopt a diet that will restore leptin sensitivity. The eating habits that typically lead to being overweight or obese—overeating and eating too many sweets and starchy foods, processed foods, and foods fried in industrialized fats—also lead to leptin resistance, high triglycerides, and hence the feeling of always being hungry.

To restore leptin sensitivity, diminish chronic hunger, and release excess fat, consider the following leptin facts and begin making the changes you need to your own diet and lifestyle.
•Regular exercise, particularly strength training and interval training, lowers leptin.
•Sugar, corn syrup, and high fructose corn syrup found in sweets and sodas make the brain resistant to leptin. Sweets also raise triglycerides so leptin can’t reach the brain.
•Healthy fats activate leptin’s satiety switch. Eat coconut oil, coconut butter, olive oil, avocado, salmon, etc. as part of a lower-carb diet.

•Omega-3 fatty acids regulate leptin sensitivity. PRI can help you choose an omega-3 fatty acid that is best for you.
•Overeating causes leptin resistance. Ditch the sodas, sweets, processed foods, and high-carbohydrate foods, which trigger cravings in many people. Healthy fats and sufficient protein curb cravings.

If you feel you are suffering from leptin resistance, please call and make an appointment so that a nutritionist at PRI can discuss a plan that would best benefit you.

Chiropractors work with the nervous system. Therefore, the scope of chiropractic goes far beyond just neck and back pain. Although many chiropractors and those they serve tend to focus on disorders associated with the physical body, it is obvious that abnormal nervous system function may also affect emotional and psychological health.

According to B.J. Palmer, “D.D. Palmer was the first man to discover that insanity was caused by displaced cervical vertebrae, that by replacing them the patient could be restored to normal condition.” B.J. also described his expert testimony in a case where he stated, “If an atlas is subluxated it makes abnormal the functions of the brain” In answer to the question, “What is to be done in insanity?” he admonished his reader to “Go back to cause. Adjust that and return that brain to its normal capacity and capability.”

Several inpatient mental health facilities were established, where chiropractic adjustments were the dominant clinical service provided. Two of these were located in Davenport. In 1922, the Chiropractic Psychopathic Sanitarium was established. The facility was later known as Forest Park Sanitarium. North Dakota Judge A. W. Ponath noted that at the North Dakota state mental hospital, the “cure and discharge rate” ranged from 18-27%, compared to 65% at Forest Park. The second facility, Clear View Sanitarium, was established in 1926. In 1951, Clear View was acquired by the Palmer School of Chiropractic. Dr. W. Heath Quigley, who directed the sanitarium, described the clinical protocol: “Each day, each patient was examined with the neurocalometer (NCM). If the clinician interpreted the NCM to indicate nerve impingement, the patient was adjusted.” Quigley reported that the rooms were “sunny and bright,” and that meals included “large servings of fresh vegetables…from a garden.”

The 1970s saw a renewed interest in chiropractic care and mental health issues. In 1973, Dr. Herman S. Schwartz, a chiropractor, published a book titled “Mental Health and Chiropractic: A Multidisciplinary Approach.” In 1949, Dr. Schwartz had published a preliminary report of 350 patients afflicted with a “nervous or mental disorder” and reported that the majority of them showed improvement under chiropractic care.

Everything we experience is processed through our nervous system. When our perception of the world is distorted by nerve interference, it compromises our ability to respond appropriately. In addition to damaging our physical health, it could result in impaired psychological and emotional function as well. When this happens to a significant number of people in a society, a sick society results. So, what’s the solution? To locate and correct the cause of that interference!

At PRI, we have a dedicated training facility and a team of trained chiropractors, who will check your nervous system for interference and help improve your Well-being game. We look forward to helping you out!

A lot of competitive swimmers spend many years getting up at the early hours of 4:30am to get to the pool on time to start training. To most people that might seem like one of the big drawbacks to being a swimmer, however many athletes would concur that, the hardest part would include being out of the pool, when injuries prevented athletes from training and competition. Although the pool is a non-weight bearing environment, some people are unaware of the high number of injuries there are associated with the sport. In fact, a study revealed that between 40-91% of elite swimmers age 13 to 25 reported at least one episode of shoulder pain.

THE SHOULDER
The shoulder offers unrivalled mobility due to its structural advantage, which is classified as a ball and socket joint. It creates the greatest amount of forward propulsion during your stroke, which is most apparent through the use of internal rotation and adduction. Consequently, training aims to push athletes to their limits, which in swimming can lead to fatigue across several areas including the rotator cuff, upper back, serratus anterior and pectoral muscles. When these muscles become exhausted the shoulder has decreased stabilization of the humeral head.

Considering that one training session can involve thousands of shoulder revolutions, it’s easy to understand how this can manifest in to an overuse injury from repetitive micro trauma. If this dysfunctional movement and associated damage goes untreated, it can lead to injuries such as articular impingement of the anterosuperior labrum, rotator cuff tendonitis, bursitis and damage to the glenoid labrum and surrounding ligaments.
What can WE do for you at PRI?

1 – Identify early signs and symptoms of shoulder injury with orthopaedic and functional assessment.
2 – Provide you with manual therapy to return shoulder and spinal range of motion back to normal with adjustments, mobilizations and muscle releases
3 – Restore scapular control with activation and strengthening exercises.
4 – Rehabilitation and conditioning of the shoulder by strengthening the rotator cuff
What can YOU do?
1- Tell your coach, trainers, PRI therapist of your shoulder pain so you can closely monitor your condition.
2 – Change your stroke; go back to bilateral breathing patterns,
3- Have more postural changes eg, switching to backstroke to reduce the load through the front of the shoulder and strengthen scapular stabilizers
4 – Avoid crossing your hands past your body’s mid line with hand entry and underwater pull phase
5 – Reduce the use of hand paddles, which create extra load through the shoulder capsule
6- If there are any signs of inflammation or pain, simply follow the RICE protocol of Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation over the affected area for 20mins, every 2hrs.

Groin pain is an umbrella term encompassing a great range of pathologies in the inner hip region. It may not prevent you from participating but rest does not seem to settle it.
The hardest question to answer is: where is it coming from? A systematic history is essential to firstly exclude non-musculoskeletal drivers of pain.

Davies et al. (2012) dissected cadavers and found that the adductor longus (one groin muscle) and the rectus abdominus (your six-pack) fuse together. The adductor brevis and gracilis (two more groin muscles) also fuse together. So it is not as simple as individual muscles working in a team.

A clinical examination will investigate whether the pain is related to the adductors, abdominals, hip flexor, the individual architecture of the sacroiliac and/or femoroacetabular joint (such as bone stress or labral tears) or even an abdominal hernia.

Palpation is key.

Once a diagnosis is established, an appropriate program can be built to challenge deficits in strength, flexibility, control and movement strategies.
