Communication is the nerve systems most important function as it runs every single cell tissue and organ either directly or indirectly. Scientists think they’ve identified a previously unknown form of neural communication that self-propagates across brain tissue, and can leap wirelessly from neurons in one section of brain tissue to another – even if they’ve been surgically severed. Chiang, C., Shivacharan, R. S., Wei, X., Gonzalez‐Reyes, L. E., & Durand, D. M. (2019). Slow periodic activity in the longitudinal hippocampal slice can self‐propagate non‐synaptically by a mechanism consistent with ephaptic coupling.

If you have a friend or family member that has struggled with sciatica, lower back pain, hip pain or other conditions related to lower spinal pain, or if you have struggled with these conditions yourself and now you’ve seen the results because of upper cervical care, you may have a hard time explaining how it helped you. We have found that many conventional treatments focus on the lower back when the actual cause of the problem may be in the upper spine. The upper neck can be a factor in the development of lower back pain for two reasons. First, the upper cervical spine (neck) has thousands of “sensors” responsible for maintaining both the proper posture and alignment of the spine, as well as the balance and stability of the head. These sensors are constantly monitoring the head position, making the necessary changes throughout the lower spine to assure that the head remains upright. Secondly,the spine works and moves as one continuous unit. The top two vertebrae, called the atlas and axis, are the most mobile segments in the spine. These two bones move in six different directions, allowing the head to move up or down, bend side to side, and turn left to right. The other vertebrae move primarily in two directions, making them stronger and more...

Could Inner Ear Muscle Dysfunction Be The Cause? Tinnitus is one of the most misunderstood and most difficult conditions to correct. Current medical science has little to offer on what causes tinnitus, and even less to offer in forms of successful treatment. While we do not have a magic bullet for tinnitus, in the following blog we will attempt to shed some light on what some of the literature is saying about its origin and how Structural Correction may help end your nightmare. Tinnitus is defined as a ringing, roaring, or whining in the ear that may be either constant or transient. Some patients find that tinnitus is made worse by stress, however, many find no real correlation to what makes it ebb and flow. Tinnitus is also very common with, vertigo, TMJ, and cognitive fog. What Does The Research Say? There are several peers reviewed studies in the literature that implicate the tensor tympani and stapedius muscles involvement. Hypertonicity of these muscles can cause tension on the insertion of the muscle that connects to a piece of cartilage in the inner ear. This increase in tension creates stress that then alters sensory input to the nerve system. Another article suggests that clonus (tightening of the muscle) is responsible for the clicking sensation that some tinnitus sufferers experience. Medical Intervention: There is...

A single session of chiropractic care increases maximal bite force in healthy individuals with potentially long-lasting effects! This year continues to be a great one for the Centre for Chiropractic Research. One of our studies that has recently been accepted for publication showed that a single session of chiropractic care increased jaw muscle bite strength in a group of healthy individuals (1). In this study, we measured the bite force of 28-subjects jaw muscles which was assessed before and after a single session of chiropractic care or a control intervention (sham adjustment) and then again one week later. The chiropractic care given to these healthy people, who had never received chiropractic care before, comprised of full spine adjusting wherever subluxations were found through clinical assessment. The results of this study showed that bite force significantly increased in the chiropractic group (by 11%) compared to the control group (no significant difference). This group difference was also seen a week later where the chiropractic group bite force remained increased (by 13%) while the control group decreased (by 6.3%). This study is really interesting because it showed that adjusting the spine impacted jaw muscle strength, which is controlled by cranial nerves. This supports the growing body of research that suggests that chiropractic care impacts human performance by changing brain function (2-5). Further...
