Although hard to believe, scientific discovery has unearthed another new body part. Last year we covered how , In 2015, scientists discovered a “missing link” between the immune system and the brain which they called the “central nervous system lymphatic system vessels.” They believe that it is the “missing link” between the brain and the immune system.  Now Scientists have confirmed an new organ has been identified. The new organ is called the mesentery,and you can find it in our gut. The mesentery was previously believed to be made of fragmented, separate structures. New research has shown that it’s actually one continuous organ.  Grey’s Anatomy, the world’s most famous medical textbooks, have even been edited to include the update and the discovery may hold the key to better understanding digestive disorders. Still, it’s unclear exactly what the mesentery does. From a Chiropractic understanding we know that all body parts have a reason for being there but to the medical community  “The body part has been long ignored and believed to be otherwise useless, but scientists are beginning to change their ideas on its function”.       M.A.S.I… A 3D evaluation and peak specificity! This year we begin with our Multi Axial Structural Imaging (MASI) analysis for all our patients. This is a three dimensional imaging of the neck, which gives us a 3d model...

A new study was just published showing that correcting the Atlas (the top bone in your spine) can change the way your jaw moves. This is the first evidence in a published journal that helps explain why we have success working with patients with jaw pain and  TMJ disorders (temporo mandibular joint disorders) and is also a reason why I try to connect with the best dentists on the Sunshine Coast In short terms; the paper describes changes that can occur to dental occlusion following chiropractic Structural Correction intervention . This case controlled study discerned if occlusion changes are measurable using a dental force plate (T-Scan®) following an adjustment to the craniocervical junction (CCJ), the joint between your skull and the first bone of your spine. They found  that changes in posture and occlusion can be observed in some patients after the chiropractic procedure and that the findings may suggest interconnectivity between the CCJ and an individual’s occlusal contacts. There is a definite need  for further integration between chiropractors and dentists seeking to co-manage temporomandibular joint disorders.   http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08869634.2016.1235254 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08869634.2016.1235254 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08869634.2016.1235254 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08869634.2016.1235254 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08869634.2016.1235254 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08869634.2016.1235254 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08869634.2016.1235254         .

September this year marks the 100-year anniversary of Chiropractic in our family. My Great Grandfather Frank Tolleen was Sweden’s very first graduated Chiropractor back in 1916. Followed by both my grandparents May and Lars (1940 Palmer) and by my father Larry (1972 North Western: who at 76 is still working in Finland). My twin brother Finn also works as an animal chiropractor in Sweden. As far as I am aware, at this time there are 14 families in the world that have 4th generation Chiropractors in them.             September 18th is also considered the Chiropractic professions official birthday as on that day in 1895 the very first chiropractic adjustment was delivered by the founder of chiropractic, D.D. Palmer. Remember to visit your Preferred Patient Card Businesses for your discounted products and services     .

We recommend the following: 1). Classic Sihouette 8″ ($300usd for a king via Amazon..and far superior to ANY other memory foam mattress) https://www.amazon.com/Classic-8-Inch-Ventilated-Memory-Mattress/dp/B003XVKGP2?th=1&psc=1   SLEEP NUMBER are worthless, as are TempurPedic. They destroy spines. There are two companies that USED TO purchase their underlay foam from the best resource in China…one that is certified with respect to not using any toxic in their mattresses. TempurPedic and Classic (This underlay was very firm). About 4 years ago, in an effort to please the American consumer, TempurPedic stopped using firmer foam and moved to an inferior product (when they revised their line). The CLASSIC 8″ has 6 inches of the firm foam, with 2″ of a slightly softer foam on top. If you order from Amazon, a King is $265.00. It comes rolled up (vacuum sealed) in plastic and in a box. This is the best mattress out there (the Black Line Alexa is also nice) IF YOU are going to be spending 1/4 to 1/3 of  YOUR day on a mattress, then it only makes sense to use the best mattress out there. By the way…it is a memory foam mattress….so we recommend it on a platform or a GREAT boxspring. A bad boxspring is the kiss of death for a memory foam. TempurPedic is now an inferior product. They purchased SEALY and King...

All of us have bumped our heads here and there in a mostly harmless fashion. Some of us have suffered a concussion or more than one, which may have damaged some sensitive structures within our brain . Our brain has fluid filled chambers that help protect us from these minor knocks and pad our sensitive nervous system.  The fluid is cerebral fluid and this serves as protection, removes waste, provides nutrients and transports messenger substances. Sounds pretty important, right? Well scientists have only just discovered tiny cilia (hairs) on certain cell surfaces may be responsible for creating complex and dynamic “flows” in this fluid which send messages exactly to where they are needed. Thousands of these hairs in your brain beating in unison create powerful currents.   researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry,  succeeded in making the complex network of these flows visible. The researchers concentrated on the ventricle (fluid filled chamber), which is embedded in the hypothalamus. “The hypothalamus is a very important control center, regulating functions like the circulatory system, body temperature, sexual behavior, food intake, and hormonal balance. To our surprise, there is a sophisticated transport system to and from the hypothalamus for distributing messenger substances via cerebral fluid,”     ...
