May 8, 2014 Pitchers who limit the range of motion in their hips could cause injury to their elbow, according to a study presented at the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons Annual Meeting. Researchers measured pre-season dominant and non-dominant internal (IR), external (ER) and total arc (TA) range of motion (ROM) in seven Division 1 […]
By ChiroTrust.org on February 13, 2014 Full Story The brain is supplied by blood from two arterial sources: the paired internal carotid arteries and the paired vertebral arteries. The blood supply to brain from the carotid arteries is referred to as the anterior circulation to the brain. The blood supply to brain from the […]

By Kevin G. Hearon, DC, CCEP, CCSP The shoulder girdle consists of three bones: the clavicle, scapula and humerus. It is suspended at its posterior margins from the cervical and thoracic spine by the trapezius muscles, levator scapula, rhomboid, serratus and latissimus dorsi. The anterior muscle attachments include all of the pectoral muscles, subclavius and […]
Upper limb activities can aggravate neck pain in the absence of arm symptoms. A variety of mechanisms may account for this occurrence, including mechanical loading. Cervical segments move when the upper limb is loaded and loads placed through the upper limb transmit to cervical structures via axio-scapular muscles, such as levator scapulae and upper trapezius. […]

This ligament appears to play an important role in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears. Despite a successful ACL repair surgery and rehabilitation, some patients with […]
Luis A. Feigenbaum, PT, DPT, SCS, ATC, LAT, CSCS Study Design Case-control. Objectives The specific aim of this study was to examine the association between abnormal foot arch postures and a history of shoulder or elbow surgery in baseball pitchers. Background Pitching a baseball generates forces throughout the musculoskeletal structures of the upper and lower […]
by ROB STEIN April 24, 2013 6:01 PM ET Scientists have discovered what may be an important new risk factor for heart disease. And here’s the surprising twist: The troublesome substance seems to be a waste product left behind by bacteria in our guts as they help us digest lecithin — a substance plentiful in […]
Armijo-Olivo S, et al. J Oral Maxillofac Res. 2013 Jan 1;3(4):e4. doi: 10.5037/jomr.2012.3404. Abstract OBJECTIVES: The study of cervical muscles and their significance in the development and perpetuation of Temporomandibular Disorders has not been elucidated. Thus this project was designed to investigate the association between cervical musculoskeletal impairments and Temporomandibular Disorders. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A […]

Alice J. S. Fox, MSc Sports Health. 2012 July; 4(4): 340–351. Abstract Context: Information regarding the structure, composition, and function of the knee menisci has been scattered across multiple sources and fields. This review contains a concise, detailed description of the knee menisci—including anatomy, etymology, phylogeny, ultrastructure and biochemistry, vascular anatomy and neuroanatomy, biomechanical function, […]
J Appl Biomech. 2011 Aug;27(3):181-91. Helgadottir H1, Kristjansson E, Mottram S, Karduna A, Jonsson H Jr. Abstract Clinical theory suggests that altered alignment of the shoulder girdle has the potential to create or sustain symptomatic mechanical dysfunction in the cervical and thoracic spine. The alignment of the shoulder girdle is described by two clavicle rotations, […]
