Probiotics May Help You Lose Weight - Ideal Wellness Chiropractic Center in Itaewon Seoul
Probiotics May Help You Lose Weight
Author: Marissa LuckA new study adds to the growing list of benefits from probiotics. Researchers from the Universite Lavel in Canada found that taking certain probiotics enhanced weight loss efforts in women.
According to Science Daily, earlier studies have demonstrated that intestinal flora differs in obese people compared to thin individuals. The reason behind that difference may lie in the fact that obese people are more likely to have a diet high in fat and low in fiber, which encourages certain bacteria instead of others.
In a new study published in the British Journal of Nutrition, researchers enrolled 125 overweight people to participate in a weight loss program. The study consisted of 12 weeks of focused weight loss efforts followed by a 12 weeks of a weight maintenance program. The participants were randomly assigned to receive either probiotic pills or placebo pills to be taken every day throughout the study.
By the end of the first 12 weeks, the women in the probiotic group had dropped 4.4 kg on average compared to just 2.6 kg lost in the placebo group, (or 9.7 lbs lost compared to 5.7 lbs). In the second half of the study, during the weight maintenance period, the women in the placebo group maintained a stable weight. However the women in the probiotic group lost an additional 5.2 kg (11.46 lbs) per person. They also experienced a decreased concentration of the intestinal bacteria tied to obesity, as well as a drop in the appetite-regulating hormone, leptin.
These changes were not seen in men however. It’s possible that the dosage may have been too low or the study period too short to see the effects in men, the authors hypothesized. Still the results of their study show that probiotics may play an important role in the prevention of obesity and type 2 diabetes, when used in combination with weight loss efforts like diet and increased physical activity.
The study specifically focused on lactobacillus rhamnosus, a probiotic strain that belongs to Nestle and is only available in European markets. However, the study authors suspect that North American products could have similar results.
Being overweight is known to exacerbate chronic musculoskeletal conditions, which is why many chiropractors advise their patients on safe, natural ways to lose and maintain weight.

Why Weight Loss Cuts Back Pain - Ideal Wellness Chiropractic Center in Itaewon Seoul
Why Weight Loss Cuts Back Pain
Author: Marissa LuckThere’s more to weight loss than fitting into your favorite jeans — it just may be your ticket out of chronic pain. So, how?
Research shows obesity not only increases your risk of lumbar disc herniation and pain in the lower back, it inhibits the effectiveness of back pain treatment. Like a smoker who continues to blow through a pack a day even as she receives cancer treatment, overweight people who fail to shed pounds cannot expect to get the full benefits of spinal treatments. When the spine is loaded with additional weight, the space between the spinal discs decreases, compressing or irritating surrounding nerves.
A 2008 study from the journal Spine sought to see just how much slimming down could impact treatment outcomes for back pain. A team of orthopedists studied 30 morbidly obese people who had just undergone a major weight loss procedure (bariatic surgery). Researchers then tracked the progress of pain as patients shed pounds. As BMI levels dropped, the space between the discs in the lumbar spine expanded. This freed up pressure on pinched nerves, and over time, reduced pain.
Fortunately you don’t have to resort to weight loss surgery to experience similar results. Exercise, diet and chiropractic care can often do the trick for many patients, according to recent research. So if you’re looking to rid yourself of pain while squeezing into those skinny jeans, give a chiropractor a call.

Headaches May Signal Serious Conditions in Pregnancy - Ideal Wellness Chiropractic Center in Itaewon Seoul
Headaches May Signal Serious Conditions in Pregnancy
Author: Christina DeBuskAs if raging hormones and growing pains weren’t enough, most pregnant women struggle with at least one bad headache or two. But a recent study from The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist suggests that not all headaches are created equal. In fact, some of them can even be signs of rare, serious conditions that require further medical treatment.
The literature review revealed that neurological issues are the third leading cause of maternal deaths in the U.K. Further, expecting mothers who suffer from regular migraine-type headaches have double the risk of developing a condition called preeclampsia, which is characterized as having dangerously high blood pressure and, in some cases, fluid retention and proteinuria (which may signal kidney damage).
Additionally, pregnant women who are classified as obese are at risk of a rare condition called idiopathic intracranial hypertension, which is when pressure increases in the skull, causing a headache and, if untreated, even possibly death.
A third cause of pregnancy-related headaches is a condition called cerebral venous thrombosis, or CVT. This involves having a blood clot in the venous sinuses which brings about symptoms such as head pain and vomiting, and can be brought about by a caesarean delivery, infection, or anemia.
For these reasons, it is important for pregnant women to report any headache-related issues to her obstetrician or gynecologist to rule out any serious issues. It is also imperative that chiropractors and other health professionals recognize that head pain in expecting mothers can be a sign of a more serious condition and urge her to seek testing and evaluation to ensure that this is not the case.
However, if the headaches are caused simply by stress, hormones, muscle contractions or nerve impingement, a chiropractor can help alleviate some of the pain through soothing and restoring manipulations. This allows proper blood flow to get to all areas of your body and creates a pregnancy that is full of joy and excitement – not pain and discomfort.
Previous research has demonstrated that chiropractic is effective for migraines and cervicogenic headaches.

Battling Fatigue as We Age - Ideal Wellness Chiropractic Center in Itaewon Seoul
Battling Fatigue as We Age
Fatigue strikes everyone at one time or another - after vigorous exercise, a long workday, or prolonged stress. In the elderly population, fatigue can be a severe problem, especially for seniors suffering from physical ailments.
How serious is the problem? According to a study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, very serious. A survey of 199 residents at a residential care facility revealed that almost all of the participants reported some fatigue symptoms: 51% reported mild fatigue, 40% reported moderate fatigue, and 7% reported severe fatigue. Fatigue also influenced depression, activities of daily living, pain, medication use, and the ability to perform a three-minute walk. Even more distressing, one in four seniors reported suffering chronic fatigue (1-5 years), and 11% reported fatigue lasting more than five years!
Whether you’re young or old, the battle against fatigue is an important one. How do we fight fatigue? There’s no single answer, but consistent exercise and a sensible diet might be a good place to start. Your chiropractor can tell you more about fatigue and outline a wellness program to keep you active now and in the future.

High-Risk Moments for Your Low Back - Ideal Wellness Chiropractic Center in Itaewon Seoul
High-Risk Moments for Your Low Back:
How to Avoid Injury and Pain
By Marc Heller, DC
What are the high-risk times and events for your lower back? Why can you get into more trouble doing something as simple as picking up a loaf of bread from the trunk of the car, rather than doing something more challenging? What simple steps can you take to avoid injury and pain? Let's get the answers to these questions and more.
Two Critical Moments
When it comes to your lower back and injury risk, there are two critical times when you need to be especially careful. One is first thing in the morning. Your back is actually swollen at that time. You are substantially taller, and the discs have extra fluid in them. A careless forward bend or twist first thing in the morning can do substantial damage to your discs or other back structures. It doesn't seem fair that such a simple thing, bending and twisting, something you have done thousands of times before, can suddenly cause big problems.
The other critical time is after you have been sitting. Long car drives or airplane trips are especially challenging. In this case, the culprit is something called "creep." This means that your ligaments and tendons lengthen into the position that you have been in. Think of sitting as a bent-forward position, as your legs are forward. The ligaments and tendons do not provide protection properly when they have been lengthened by creep. When you first get up from sitting, you are at risk. The longer you have been sitting, the higher the risk. If you sit more upright, with good lumbar support, you will have somewhat less risk.
Here are some common events that can contribute to lower back pain. Keep in mind that in all of these scenarios, your back was already vulnerable.
Scenario #1: You didn't sleep well last night, perhaps from sleeping in an unfamiliar bed after travel, after sitting too long. You get up, feel stiff, but ignore it. You sit down in a soft chair to enjoy your morning hot drink. You get up and get a sudden sharp stab in the back.
Scenario #2: You get up from sleeping, and sit at your laptop, and get entranced by a video or article. You end up sitting far longer than you planned. You get up, and can't completely straighten up.
Scenario #3: You get up from sleeping, drink your morning coffee, which wakes up your gut, and you go to bathroom to empty your bowel. You are a bit constipated, and have to strain. When you get up from the toilet, your back spasms.
Overnight sleeping, even a good sleep on your favorite bed, leaves your back somewhat swollen. Swollen may be an exaggeration, but the reality is that there is extra fluid in all of your joints.
If you have a good back, none of this matters. If you have a vulnerable back, it all matters. Ideally, when you get up, you should do some kind of activity that warms up and "wrings out" the excessive fluids. A short walk, some simple movements, can make a real difference. Sitting down at the computer, sitting on the toilet, etc., can get you in trouble.
So, who has a good back versus a bad back? Unfortunately, most of us have bad backs, at least in the sense that they can be subject to injury and pain at any time. In fact, studies suggest that as many as eight in 10 people experience low back pain during their lifetime. That's a lot of back pain already happening or waiting to happen. And as you can tell from the above discussion, some of the scenarios whereby people experience back pain are all too common.
How to Avoid Injury and Pain
Don't bend over immediately after sitting. Sitting, even in good posture, puts you at risk. The longer you sit and the worse the seat, the more at risk you are. Airlines are very risky; it's hard to get up and move around because of the tight quarters, and the minute the plane stops, you bend over and get stuff from under the seat, or reach up, and twist and lift to get your bag from the overhead compartment. After a long sit, give yourself at least a few seconds of backward bending and/or moving around to reset your spine. Then you can carefully, using your hips rather than your back, bend over to pick up something.
When you sit, don't slump. Slumping reinforces the risks, makes it more likely for something bad to happen to your discs or joints or muscles. So, sit up straight, and keep your back in neutral. Neutral means that you keep a bit of a lordosis in your lower back, keep the lumbar spine from slumping forward, stay more upright. This simple action can make a huge difference. Like any habit, this will require you to "Just Do It" for a few weeks.
Talk to your doctor about these and other high-risk moments for your lower back and what you can do to relieve low back pain or avoid the pain altogether. And make sure to review "Self-Care for Back Pain" in the May 2010 issue, which provides information on exercises your doctor may prescribe if you are experiencing back pain.

Leg pain can be sign of a dangerous heart condition - Ideal Wellness Chiropractic Center in Itaewon Seoul
Leg pain can be sign of a dangerous heart condition
Author: Megan Churchwell
In the United States, almost 30 million people have peripheral arterial disease, or PAD, though the vast majority do not realize that they have this dangerous condition.
Most people assume that clogged arteries only happen in the heart. But in fact, this condition can occur anywhere in the body. In some people, this blood vessel blockage, which interferes with the flow of blood to the extremities, leads to leg pain. Such pain serves as an early warning of high risk for strokes and heart attacks, as people with PAD have a much higher risk of these serious, life-threatening health problems.
People who are over 50, are overweight, or have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or diabetes have the highest risk for PAD. Factors such as smoking and a diet high in fat can cause cholesterol, scar tissue, and blood clots that block the arteries going to the legs. If you have unexplained pain in your legs, especially if it lasts more than a week, talk to your doctor. Your doctor may perform an ultrasound test to check for arterial blockage, which indicates PAD.
To prevent PAD or keep it from becoming more serious, quit smoking, follow a healthy diet, exercise, and get your cholesterol and blood pressure levels checked. Your doctor may also advise you to take a daily aspirin or other drugs to prevent clots or reduce your cholesterol and blood pressure. In severe cases, procedures such as angioplasty or bypass surgery may be required.
Leg pain can also be a sign of sciatica which can be treated naturally with chiropractic and exercise.

Chiropractic Patients Have Better Knees - Ideal Wellness Chiropractic Center in Itaewon Seoul
Chiropractic Patients Have Better Knees
Author: Marissa Luck
Chiropractic care and massage therapy was tied to better knee function in patients with knee osteoarthritis in a recent study.
The prevalence of arthritis is growing by nearly 1 million every year, according to a CDC report. An increasingly obese and arthritic population has also contributed to a rise in total knee replacement surgeries in younger patients. These younger patients may require new knee replacements within 5-10 years of their original surgery with more complications arising with each additional operation due to bone loss. Fortunately, there are non-invasive options for knee osteoarthritis that do not involve the risks and costs of surgery.
A recent study, published in the journal Clinical Therapeutics, found that patients who received either massage therapy or chiropractic care had better knee function compared to patients not seeing a chiropractor or massage therapist.
The study included an analysis of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use in 1,121 adults with knee osteoarthritis. Researchers found:
Almost one third of older adults used CAM therapies
People with more stiffness and severe knee pain were more likely to seek CAM therapies
Adults over the age of 75 were more likely use dietary supplements than adults between the ages of 65-75 years
18% used glucosamine and chondroitin in addition to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
These findings add to earlier research showing the benefits of non-invasive treatments for osteoarthritis. A 2008 study demonstrated that chiropractic adjustments improved mobility and decreased clicking and grinding sensations among people with knee osteoarthritis. Another study published last year showed that regular exercise plus physical therapy was as effective as surgery for knee OA. The benefits of exercise and chiropractic also extend to patients with hip osteoarthritis.

89% of Office Workers Have Musculoskeletal Pain - Ideal Wellness Chiropractic Center in Itaewon Seoul
89% of Office Workers Have Musculoskeletal Pain
Author: Marissa Luck
If you spend your days in an office, you’re probably familiar with the aches and pain that come with long hours of computer work. A new study showed that up to 89% of office workers suffer from some sort of musculoskeletal pain; whether that be in the neck, back, shoulders, wrists, or knees.
Although this pain can start as a dull ache at work, if left unaddressed, it may develop into a repetitive motion injury or other serious disorder. Seeking early treatment can reduce your risk for developing these conditions. Studies suggest that chiropractic care can relieve and prevent carpal tunnel syndrome, back pain, and neck disorders associated with working.
Work-related Pain Study
To estimate the prevalence of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions in office workers, researchers surveyed 91 employees who worked at a university office setting. The employees rated their pain and responded to questionnaires on job satisfaction and health.
Neck pain was the most common complaint, affecting 69.2% of workers. Lower back pain was the second most common (58.2%), followed by knee problems (41.8%), shoulder concerns (35.2%) and pain in the upper back (34%). People with MSK complaints were also more likely to be dissatisfied with their jobs. Wrist, shoulder, and low-back pain were most the significant predictors of poor job satisfaction.
Other recent research has shown that stressed, over-worked employees have an increased likelihood of suffering from back pain, headache, and shoulder problems.Stress of course isn’t the only thing causing musculoskeletal pain. Poor posture, unhealthy work stations, and previous musculoskeletal injuries can exacerbate the risks associated with repetitive motions or long hours hunching over a computer.
Doctors of chiropractic can create treatment plans that address the multifaceted nature of work-related pain. Not only do chiropractors work to correct dysfunctions in the joints and spine, they’ll also help you identify appropriate preventive measures through posture correction, ergonomic training, and exercise therapy. Some studies suggests that chiropractic adjustments may also improve your body’s response to inflammation and stress, providing you with protective benefits against further MSK injuries.
