Specific Strength Training Relieves Chronic Neck Pain
Neck pain has become increasingly prevalent over the past two decades and is now second only to back pain, the most common musculoskeletal disorder and most common cause of disability in working Americans. Women are more likely to suffer from neck pain than are men, especially those who engage in repetitive tasks such as working at a computer keyboard. Previous studies have not proven whether or not exercise alone can treat neck pain. . However, a recent study in Arthritis Care and Research found that specific strength training exercises led to significant prolonged relief of neck muscle pain while general fitness training resulted in only minor pain reduction.

Worried Sick? There Might Be Some Truth There
A recent report by health provider BUPA has found that people's worries are damaging their health by causing sleepless nights, loss of sex drive, and erratic eating habits. The 2007 Worry Report demonstrates that almost one in five people constantly worry about numerous things, and more than half feel they worry more now than five years ago. Half of the people surveyed this year, which is 6% more than in 2006, claimed they were more worried about their health and their family's health than about other concerning issues such as climate change or terrorist attacks. The survey finds that almost three quarters of people worry, but around 19% admit to worrying all the time or about a number of things. (Read more about Worried Sick? There Might Be Some Truth There)

Reducing Stress Lowers Risk of Cardiovascular Problems
A Review in The Lancet reveals the importance of healthy lifestyle choices to reduce stressors related to cardiovascular risk factors. Researchers from John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore examined records between 1990 to 2006. They observed how stress affects the sympathetic nervous system, impacts physiology, and the effect it has on the cardiovascular system. Lead author, Daniel Brotman, claims "Acute physical stressors such as sugery, trauma, and intense physical exertion are well known triggers of cardiovascular events. Emotional stressors are increasingly recognized as precipitants of such events." (Read more about Reducing Stress Lowers Risk of Cardiovascular Problems)

Rapid Rise in "Complementary" Medical Services
 Have you been to a practitioner besides your family physician? Whether chiropractic care, acupuncture, yoga or homeopathy, Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) has become increasingly common in the United States, and 72% of adults use some form of CAM therapies according to the US National Centers for Disease Control and US National Center for Health Statistics.
A recent cover story in The New York Times Magazine highlighted how chronic pain tends to be under treated because doctors worry about over prescribing medications, and being liable for malpractice or even criminal penalties. Many doctors fear entering the field of pain management at all. Many patients are also concerned about becoming dependant on medication or about the invasiveness and dangers of surgery and anesthesia. CAM therapies, which are able to treat pain and help manage diseases without medication or surgery, are rapidly growing services as people search out better, safer approaches.
So how effective are Complementary and Alternative Medicine therapies? (Read more about Rapid Rise in "Complementary" Medical Services)

The Cause of Chronic Tension Headaches
Poor posture is at the root of chronic tension headaches.
An article written by holistic care author Doug Fogel explains how having a tight neck, shoulders, and upper back contribute to chronic tension headaches. He says the tension is caused by poor posture and/or accident-related trauma. Conventional treatments like pain medication have little effect on long term relief. The only way to relieve symptoms is to treat the cause of the tension and address instances of poor posture. (Read more about The Cause of Chronic Tension Headaches)

An Alternative to Back Surgery Is Waiting
Though back surgery may provide relief, studies reveal waiting may be best alternative.
Several studies show that although back surgery may be effective for those suffering from a slipped or misaligned disk, it may not be necessary. Around 1.5 million back surgeries are performed worldwide to relieve spinal nerve pressure that causes sciatica. This condition is extremely painful and can affect daily activities and overall quality of life for those afflicted. However, researchers say that 75% of these cases will improve over time without medical attention. (Read more about An Alternative to Back Surgery Is Waiting)

Heavy Hand Bags and Back Pain
So have you noticed a fashion trend lately?
No, we’re not talking about shoes or hair styles; the discussion is on accessories--specifically, hand bags.
They’re getting bigger and bigger.
Is that causing women to suffer more aches and pains?
When we’re talking fashion, usually we’re talking about high heels and how they’re bad for the feet and the posture; but this is a lot like the issue of backpacks--what you’re carrying in your dior could be putting too much strain on your back and spine.
Still, it’s not hard to find folks who are sore from all that schlepping.
“My shoulder hurts a lot at the end of the day,” says Rosa.
Celia adds, “All the time, right now my left shoulder is killing me, I think over stuffing the bags, you don’t know if you should bring two small ones or one large one and no matter how you work it you put to much in them.” (Read more about Heavy Hand Bags and Back Pain)

Back Pain
There's a good chance you or someone you care about has suffered with back pain that lasts a long time.
Back pain is the second leading symptom seen by doctors in the United States.
Now, one might think a powerful group of pain medicines can help relieve the agony.
But it appears, their effectiveness, at least with back pain, might be overblown.
Chronic back pain--meaning, pain that lasts more than three months--is reported in 19 percent of working adults. That's one in five!
Thambal Yima will tell you first hand how debilitating it can be. She suffered five herniated discs, and two fractures a couple of years ago. “I went through all kinds of medical treatments. I was in so much pain to get up on the examination table I would scream.”
She came in in intractable pain, certainly, sounding like someone, if there was someone, who would benefit from opioid pain medicines…drugs in the morphine family.
These are drugs like fentanyl, percocet, oxycontin, and vicodin. They are powerful pain killers. But according to new research in the annals of internal medicine, the difference in pain relief between these medicines and placebo was not significantly different long term, believe it or not.

Health Wrap - Reports on Calcium, Lawn Moving Accidents, Herbs for lower back pain
A new review of medical literature in the highly regarded Cochrane Library surprisingly casts doubt on the value of supplements and calcium-fortified foods to build stronger bones in kids!
The review shows that supplementing the diet with calcium in healthy children has little benefit for bone health.
They say in the long run, bone mass didn’t improve much.
Pediatricians and parents are concerned with calcium intake because they want to ensure that boys and girls achieve peak bone strength in childhood, a time when kids build bone at an accelerated pace.
