Here are some ideas with respect to standing platforms while utilizing a standing desk. There are some folks who like to use a treadmill with a standing desk, but I personally find that undoable and a perceivable pain in the ass. The BEST SOLUTION (in many forms) is basically a wobble board on steroids. The high-end product out there is made by FLUIDSTANCE and is called THE ORIGINAL (www.fluidstance.com). It costs $489.00 usd and is their top of the line model made with bamboo and hand-cast aluminum. Just below that is THE LEVEL at $289.00 usd (also well made, but can’t handle the same weight as THE ORIGINAL). Finally, they just released their latest and least expensive offering called THE PLANE at $189.00 usd. THE PLANE is made from recycled product and will do just fine. There is also the WURF BOARD. The WURF BOARD ranges in price from $199.00 to $269.00 usd depending on size. If you use Promo Code WURFIN20, you can save $20.00 usd off your purchase . The WURF board is customizable because it has air cells (comes with a mini air pump). It’s nice. You can find it at www.wurf.com. There are OTHER COMPANIES making these kinds of products, but interestingly, the one that I recommend to most people comes from a surprisingly interesting source. If you watch SHARK...

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         .

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,”     ...
