HOW TO BE A HAPPY SANTA…
Chiropractic’s Contribution to Depression Relief
“It’s the most wonderful time of
the year…” or so the song goes. Whether it’s due to
being 2020 or having normal holiday stress, the
wonderful-ness of this time of year might not be so wonderful for you. Symptoms of depression like high cortisol and
adrenalin, agitation, anxiety and insomnia are reportedly due to
an overactive sympathetic nervous system. A new study on the effect of chiropractic
and spinal manipulation along with vagal nerve stimulation announced
some good news. These approaches may well be positive
treatment options for depression through the regulation
of the autonomic nervous system which chiropractic care and spinal manipulation
do at the peripheral nervous system level and extend to the
central nervous system. The parasympathetic system in so doing can counterbalance the
sympathetic system while vagal stimulation releases neurotrophines known for
being essential for anti-depressive therapies’ effectiveness. (1) What does all this really mean? Come in for a Baton Rouge
chiropractic visit for Baton Rouge back pain and neck pain relief and
other spine related issues. Leave with a little more cheer. During
this wonderful time of year, we want a happy Santa…and a happy you!

Baton Rouge CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Electrical Stimulation for Calf Cramps
Calf cramps are painful!
Back pain sufferers with lumbar spinal stenosis or lumbar disc herniation often
get calf cramps, interrupting good
sleep and daily lives. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation of the calf muscles
prone to cramps reduced cramping. Just 25% of
patient maximum tolerated stimulation intensity was helpful!
It doesn’t take much. 55%
and 85% were effective as well. The reduction in
cramps was linked to a boost in cramp
threshold frequency, too. A bonus! (2) This new study confirmed
what a 2018 study found as well. (3) If calf cramps bother
you, let us know at your next chiropractic visit. Spine & Sports Rehab Center will work on them!
