Common Questions

Q: Why do I have pain in my arms and hands?

A: Because the nerves to the arms and hands exit the spine through the injured area of the neck, numbness and tingling are common. Even lower back pain can result directly from the trauma, or as a reaction to the loss of proper spinal curves.

Q: Why did my headaches start more than a week after my accident?

A: Whether you’ve been in an accident, stressed at work, or over-exerted yourself in the garden, your body is constantly adapting to the environment. When your capacity to adapt is exhausted, symptoms can appear. This can take days, weeks, months or years to occur.

Q: Will I ever be normal again?

A: Many chiropractic patients report improved spinal function/ movement as well as a significant reduction of their pain. Those who delay seeking appropriate care often discover that scar tissue and long-standing spinal instability increases the recovery period.

Gastrointestinal Cancers Likely Reduced by Consumption of Green Tea

In related news, green tea has once again demonstrated why it deserves being ranked as a super food. Research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition4 found that regular green tea consumption, defined as drinking green tea at least three times a week for more than six months, was associated with a 17 percent reduced risk of all digestive cancers combined.

The study included approximately 75,000 middle-aged and senior women enrolled in the Shanghai Women's Health Study. Mean follow-up was 11 years. The digestive cancers most strongly reduced by regular green tea consumption were stomach/esophageal and colorectal cancers. (Women who had ever smoked or who drank alcohol were excluded from the study.)

Women with higher rates of consumption, drinking two to three cups per day, had an even greater risk reduction — 21 percent — for four all cancers of the digestive system, and, those who had been drinking green tea for at least 20 years had a reduced cancer risk totaling 27 percent. "These results suggest long-term cumulative exposure may be particularly important," lead researcher Sarah Nechuta, Ph.D., MPH told Medical News Today. This certainly isn't the first time green tea has been associated with reduced cancer risk. Previous tests of one of the active ingredients in green tea, called epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), showed it could kill cancer cells in samples of skin, lymph system, and prostate tissue taken from both humans and mice, while leaving healthy cells unharmed.

Previous studies have also indicated that EGCG may be helpful in preventing:

•             Dementia

•             High blood lipid

•             Arteriosclerosis

•             Cerebral thrombus

•             Pain and inflammation related to rheumatoid arthritis
