Episode 8 Outline
Introduction:
Interview:
Dr. Jim R. Morgenstern, father of host Jim J. Morgenstern and inspiration to our careers.
Optimal Concept of the Week:
Smiling!
UC Berkeley study 141 photos from a 1960 yearbook and able to predict based on Duchenne smile which is linked limbic system. Predict positive outcomes in marriage, success and well-being
Facts and Statistics About Smiling
- A study by a UC-San Francisco researcher found that there are 19 different types of smiles. These can be placed into two categories: polite social smiles and sincere felt smiles.
- Smiles can use anywhere from five to 53 muscles in your face.
- Smiling can actually boost your immune system and your physical health as well, allowing you to live up to seven years longer!
- Smiles can be contagious; people actually have trouble frowning when looking at others who are smiling and find themselves subconsciously beginning to smile as well.
- Typically, women smile more than men, although in work environments, they smile about the same amount.
- Babies are capable of smiling mere moments after they're born.
Ask the Doc:
"When is it time for an X-ray or an MRI?"
Thirty-three articles reporting imaging findings for 3110 asymptomatic individuals met our study inclusion criteria. The prevalence of disk degeneration in asymptomatic individuals increased from 37% of 20-year-old individuals to 96% of 80-year-old individuals. Disk bulge prevalence increased from 30% of those 20 years of age to 84% of those 80 years of age. Disk protrusion prevalence increased from 29% of those 20 years of age to 43% of those 80 years of age. The prevalence of annular fissure increased from 19% of those 20 years of age to 29% of those 80 years of age.
Point is that there are false positives.
Depends on profession regarding whether x-ray will be of relevance
Weighted vs. Non-weighted
Will it change my treatment?
Final Thots:
Non-professional joint manipulation and mobilization
Body Tempering, Graston, Soft tissue digging, "popping" your back…
Friends, athletic trainers, personal trainers, coaches – They are not chiropractors and do not know the anatomy or have the skill to safely "adjust" or manipulate your spine or extremities.
