Health Alert: Nearly Half of Rural Patients Must Drive an Hour for Surgery. According to a recent study, 44% of rural patients must drive longer than one hour to reach a surgical center, up from 37% just a decade ago. Longer travel times increase the risk for delaying procedures, which may lead to worsening health and increased mortality risks. Annals of Surgery, February 2025 Diet: Could Yogurt Lower the Risk for Aggressive Colon Cancer? A new study suggests that regular yogurt consumption may help reduce the risk of developing certain aggressive colon cancers. Researchers found that people who ate at least two servings of yogurt per week had a 20% lower risk of developing tumors on the right side of the colon, a location associated with more lethal cancers. Gut Microbes, February 2025 Exercise: Childhood Activity May Influence Later Mental Health Risks. A recent study identified an association between higher levels of physical activity during childhood and both a greater resilience to stress and a lower risk for mental health challenges during adolescence. On the other hand, a sedentary lifestyle early in life may set the stage for poor mental health later on. JAMA Network Open, February 2025 Chiropractic: History of Low Back Pain Can Affect a Batter’s Swing. Examinations of 25 collegiate baseball players revealed that those with a history of low back pain exhibited altered pelvic and trunk movement patterns during their swing, reducing their ability to transfer rotational energy from the lower body to the upper extremities. This may not only negatively affect performance, but it may also increase their risk of future musculoskeletal pain. Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness, March 2025 Mental Attitude: Bilingualism May Benefit Children with Autism. In a recent study, researchers observed that children with autism spectrum disorder who speak more than one language exhibit stronger executive functioning skills, such as impulse control and perspective-taking, than their monolingual autistic peers.

Health Alert: Most People with Mental Health Issues Don’t Know It. New research suggests that only 6.9% of individuals with mental health or substance-use disorders worldwide receive effective treatment. Interestingly, nearly half of those who remain untreated are unaware they suffer from a condition that can be addressed by a healthcare provider. Of those who understand they need care, only a third seek it out and most of these individuals receive what would be considered minimal adequate treatment. The findings highlight a global need for interventions both to improve mental health awareness and to provide access to quality care. JAMA Psychiatry, February 2025 Diet: Familiar Flavors and Food Texture May Help Older Adults Eat Better. Seniors in assisted living facilities who do not prepare their own meals may be at risk of malnutrition if they do not eat the food provided. A recent study found that incorporating familiar flavors and diverse textures into meals may increase the likelihood that elderly adults finish their meals. Journal of Food Science, January 2025 Exercise: Customized Fitness Program Helps Children with Autism Stay Active.

American Stroke Association, February 2025 Chiropractic: Try Chiropractic Care for Tension-Type Headache First. Tension-type headache is a common form of headache characterized by a dull, aching pain and tightness or pressure around the forehead or back of the head and neck. A recent study that compared outcomes of 6,232 tension-type headache patients revealed that those initially treated with spinal manipulative therapy—the primary form of treatment provided by chiropractors—were half as likely to eventually be prescribed butalbital, a medication prescribed when firstline treatments fail. Health Science Reports, December 2024 Mental Attitude: Depression Can Hasten Chronic Illness Onset. An analysis of data concerning more than 172,500 adults revealed that those with a history of depression developed chronic conditions like heart disease and type 2 diabetes up to 30% earlier than their peers without a history of mood disorders. PLOS Medicine, February 2025 Wellness/Prevention: Frailty Is Not Inevitable. Frailty is a condition characterized by weakness, slowed movement, physical inactivity, self-reported exhaustion, and unintentional weight loss, all of which are associated with increased health risks. While gradual declines in physical and mental function are part of the aging process, frailty is not. To reduce the risk of becoming frail, older adults are encouraged to get regular exercise, reduce sedentary time, eat a healthy diet, stay socially engaged, and manage chronic health problems as instructed by their healthcare provider.

Diet: Fiber-Rich Foods May Provide Anti-Cancer Benefits. Researchers from Stanford Medicine report that
propionate and butyrate—short-chain fatty acids that are a byproduct of fiber digestion by gut bacteria—
enhance the expression of certain genes that suppress the growth of tumors. The findings highlight the
importance of consuming a fiber-rich diet. Nature Metabolism, January 2025
Exercise: Does Exercise Ease Knee Pain? Patients with knee osteoarthritis are commonly instructed to
exercise to help manage the condition; however, a recent study that looked at 139 clinical trials found that
improvements in pain, function, and quality of life from physical activity alone often fall short of clinical
relevance. The findings suggest that while exercise may have a role in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the
knee, it may need to be combined with other therapies for the patient to achieve a satisfactory outcome.
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, December 2024
Chiropractic: A Third of New Low Back Pain Cases Will Likely Become Chronic. According to a recent
study, nearly a third (32.2%) of patients who develop acute low back pain will progress to chronic low back
pain and 80.6% of these individuals will continue to report low back pain half a year later. Further analysis
found that the risk for chronic low back pain progression is greatest in patients with high-pain intensity, as well
as those with a history of frequent acute low back pain episodes. Journal of Pain, October 2024

Health Alert: Ketamine Use on the Rise. Ketamine is a medication with analgesic, sedative, and antidepressant
properties that’s used for anesthesia, pain management, and psychiatric treatment. Unfortunately, this drug is also
used recreationally at an increasing rate, up 40% in the United States between 2021 and 2022 alone, often by young
adults in conjunction with other illicit drugs such as MDMA and cocaine. Experts warn that ketamine abuse can
result in dissociation, hallucinations, memory impairment, cognitive decline, mood disorders, bladder and kidney
damage, cardiovascular complications, respiratory depression, gastrointestinal issues, neurological effects, risky
behaviors, loss of consciousness, coma, and death. Journal of Affective Disorders, January 2025
Diet: Elderberry Juice Enhances Metabolic Health. New research suggests that drinking twelve ounces of
elderberry juice a day can result in improved gut microbiota health, enhanced blood glucose management, and
increased fat oxidation during meals and exercise within just a week. The authors of the study hypothesize these
benefits may be attributed to the high content of anthocyanin in elderberries, a compound with known antiinflammatory
and metabolic health properties. Nutrients, October 2024
Exercise: Exercise to Lower Blood Pressure. The Cleveland Clinic notes that exercise strengthens the heart and
promotes weight loss, both of which can improve blood pressure. To improve cardiovascular health, including blood
pressure, experts recommend engaging in 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity each week, such as
brisk walking, swimming, or dancing. Cleveland Clinic, January 2025
Chiropractic: Mid-Back Adjustment May Benefit Patients with Shoulder Pain. Subacromial impingement
syndrome occurs when the rotator cuff tendons become inflamed or irritated as they pass through the subacromial
space, which can lead to pain, weakness, and reduced range of motion in the shoulder. A recent literature review
found that including thoracic spinal manipulation—a manual therapy provided by chiropractors—in a multimodal
treatment plan for subacromial impingement syndrome results in more significant improvements in shoulder pain,
disability, and range of motion. Journal of Sport Rehabilitation, January 2025
