FDA Warning on Statin usage

The FDA announced this week new warnings on Statin Drugs.

Statin drugs are frequently used by medical doctors to attempt to lower cholesterol levels.   This drug process is often thought of by nutrition experts as a cash cow for the drug companies, since they are the kind of drug that is taken on forever basis.

Many nutritionists feel that the whole cholesterol concept is not founded on solid science.  Others find that lowering cholesterol is not difficult by change in nutrition and lifestyle.  If you’d like to join on of our nutrition workshops, send us a message from the contact us page.

Certain cognitive (brain-related) effects have been reported with statin use. Statin labels will now include information about some patients experiencing memory loss and confusion. These reports generally have not been serious and the patients’ symptoms were reversed by stopping the statin. However, patients should still alert their health care professional if these symptoms occur.

 

Increases in blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) have been reported with statin use. The FDA is also aware of studies showing that patients being treated with statins may have a small increased risk of increased blood sugar levels and of being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The labels will now warn healthcare professionals and patients of this potential risk.

 

Frye Chiropractic & Professional Volleyball

A wonderful article was published PlanetChiropractic.com yesterday about Dr. Suzanne Frye & Dr. Ted Magnuson.  Our doctors were invited to take care of the athletes at the Wide Open Volleyball Tournament on Hermosa Beach.  The tournament , which feeds the U.S. Open Volleyball Championships featured top Volleyball players from around the world.

Many of the athletes were under regular chiropractic care. Interestingly enough, most of the athletes suffered from conditions that affect tall people more often.
For example spondylolisthesis is an injury to the spine where a vertebrae slips forward, creating a stair stepping effect.  Usually this occurs in the low back at L-5.  The reason so many volleyball players have a ‘Spondy’ is because their height adds leverage to their low back when the fall.  Spondy’s can be very painful conditions.

The other very common complaint that volleyball players presented with was upper back pain.  This problem comes from not only their height, but also their frequent falls onto the sand.  Caught early, before becoming chronic, upper back pain is easy to manage.    The other cause of upper back pain is loss of curve in the neck, loss of lordosis.

naturally Better than the other 'sports drinks' A big thanks to the organizers of the tournament.  it was professionally run.  They gave us a wonderful location with VIP views of the play.  Their sponsors were extremely kind to us.  In particular Zico coconut water kept us, all of the kids and the athletes naturally hydrated all weekend without any of the chemicals and toxins that you find in all the other sports drink.

Torticollis… aka Acute Neck Pain

Torticollis… aka Acute Neck Pain.

94% of patients report success with Chiropractic!

neck pain, whiplash

neck pain

The patient comes in and the first thing we notice is that their head is tilted to one side.  Next we see they have a hard time turning their head or lifting it up or down.  Clearly they are in pain and experience even more pain with movement.

What caused this pain?  Sometimes nothing.  They just woke up with it, or turned their head or got up off the couch.  Other times it was a sharp turn of the head or a whiplash type injury from a car crash or other accident.

Examination by palpation frequently reveals inflammation, immobility, and muscle tenderness.   The pain and spasm can be so strong that it is hard to do standard orthopedic testing and range of motion is severely restricted.

When treated medically, the preferred pill is a muscle relaxer.  Other options include massage or acupuncture.  Chiropractic is extremely effective.

According to a study published in the  Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, patients with acute neck pain who were treated by a chiropractor improved significantly from a mean pain level of 7.6…before treatment to 1.9…after treatment… “The overall patient satisfaction rate was 94%(Haneline, 2006, p. 288).

“There were reductions in disability recorded during the study that were statistically significant. Approximately 84% of the patients related that their activities were restricted before chiropractic treatment because of their neck pain, whereas only 25% still had activity restrictions at the time of the interview. Furthermore, 57% of those with physical restrictions described their disabilities as moderately severe or greater before treatment, whereas at the time of the interview, just 12% did (Haneline, 2006, p. 294).

“When comparing trauma with no-trauma cases, Trauma cases received more than 3 times as many visits. This difference may be related to tissue damage that often accompanies trauma, which, many times, heals imperfectly. In addition, patients with this type of problem may have ensuing long-term pain and physical impairment, which further shows that trauma complicates the recovery of acute neck pain (Haneline, 2006, p. 294).

We are able to help many patients with both chronic (long term) and acute (short term) neck pain.  Out new Motion X-Ray helps us diagnose ligament laxity in the supporting structures of the neck.  This diagnosis often will explain why a person can experience neck pain yet all other tests might be normal.
