Parkinson's Disease is the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world. While there is no cure, there is hope for patients to help relive the symptoms of this disease.  In this episode, you'll learn:—How constipation can be an early symptom indicating Parkinson's Disease. And the involuntary "pill rolling" motion that is usually the very first sign of Parkinson's.—Why Dr. Prather says getting your Glutathione level up is one of the most important things you can do for preventing Parkinson's Disease and even helping to reverse its damage. And how IV Therapy is the best way to get Glutathione into the body.   —Why Dr. Prather "highly, highly" recommends patients seek "very effective" pharmaceutical treatments for Parkinson's Disease in addition to Structure-Function Care that "every Parkinson's patient should have" to help alleviate the symptoms.—How Dr. Prather helps his patients to reduce the side effects of Parkinson's medications, while keeping patients on those important medicines. —The reason Dr. Prather says "Hair Analysis" is "one of the most critical" diagnostics for Parkinson's patients. And how he has found about 10% of his Parkinson's patients have a "false Parkinson's" diagnosis that actually comes from Manganese toxicity.—The "absolutely critical" dietary changes for Parkinson's, including high Fiber and low Protein, which will "almost always" cut a patient's required medication "at least in half".—The "dramatic improvement" Dr. Prather sees when nutritional deficiencies associated with Parkinson's are addressed, including: Folic Acid, Niacin, Thiamine B1, B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Vitamin E. And why Dr. Prather recommends Green Tea, Ginkgo Biloba, Velvet Beans, and Fava Beans.—Why the Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic Technique is "the biggest thing for Parkinson's" that results in an immediate change in the neurology and symptoms. Plus, the exercises and neck brace that correct the Forward Head Posture, which then causes "most of the Parkinson's symptoms to go away". —How Dr. Prather uses a particular Acupuncture protocol for Parkinson's patients, including a point on the tip of the nose that he never uses otherwise.—The Auriculotherapy protocol for Parkinson's that works on the brain by stimulating points on the ear.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

If you suffer from headaches, neck, or back pain, then forward head posture may be the culprit.One of the main questions I often get asked in the dental clinic is how to fix forward head posture. It's important to note that mouth breathing is often the root cause of forward head posture. The body and skeletal system moves muscles and supporting structures to accommodate breathing patterns. When our head posture or jaws are in the incorrect position, an open mouth is often a compensation in order to allow mouth breathing as a survival mechanism.Over time forward head posture puts pressure in the back of the skull, neck, and jaw. Symptoms can include:HeadachesNeck painJaw painJaw clickingShoulder painChest painDental decayGum diseaseVoice issuesTingling or numbness in handsSnoringTeeth grindingDifficulty to sleepMany patients we see in the dental clinic suffer from forward head posture due to mouth breathing habits. As we assess their jaw structure, we see that there are many movement based patterns that can help fix forward head posture.Today my guest is Aaron Alexander, who is the author of the Align Method and host of the Align podcast.Aaron has worked with some of world's greatest professional athletes, performers, celebrities, and everyone in between, to relieve pain while creating greater strength, flexibility, and ease in their mind and body. After working with thousands of clients and spending years backpacking around the world, being immersed in various cultures, he has come to the conclusion that the healthiest people are not gym rats.

Misalignment of the upper part of the spine is an often overlooked problem for those with brain symptoms, chronic complex illness and/or mysterious health issues.  In these modern times with cell phones and laptops, we look down A LOT.  This raises our likelihood of having problems that originate in our neck.  A previous neck injury and/or a tendency to be flexible can make us even more vulnerable.  Flexibility is especially common in those with brain related or psychiatric conditions. In this episode, I'll discuss:* The very important role of the atlas, our first vertebrae, and why is can easily become misaligned. * The many neck structures, including the vagus, which can be impacted when we misalignment.* The importance of ligaments holding the atlas in place and how hypermobility can contribute laxity of this joint.* The activities beyond injury that contribute to the atlas becoming misaligned. * Forward Head Posture, which results from having our head down too much and for too long, such as when we use a cell phone, laptop, poorly positioned computer or even read a book or write for extended periods. * The role emotions can play in shifting the atlas out of place.* The many symptoms associated with misalignment or upper cervical instability. * A simple was to evaluate if vagus might be impacted and the types of imaging that is used to diagnose this problem. * Types of treatment and specialists.* The role of posture in keeping our head on straight.Links mentioned:The Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve in Brain Disorders (Part 1 of 2)https://courtneysnydermd.substack.com/p/the-healing-power-of-the-vagus-nerve-33dThe Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve in Brain Disorders (Part 2 of 2)https://courtneysnydermd.substack.com/p/accessing-the-power-of-the-vagus-bdeTo receive the newsletter (text and audio) in your mailbox each week, subscribe at:https://www.courtneysnydermd.comor on Substack:Medical Disclaimer: This newsletter is for educational purposes and not intended or implied to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment for either yourself or others, including but not limited to patients that you are treating (if you are a practitioner).

“It’s natural and normal for the head to follow your gaze and your gaze to follow attention,” says Dr. Jen. But, do you find yourself staring down at your screen for hours at a time? As we progress further into the digital age, especially in times of a pandemic where everyone is working from home, we are almost all subject to being glued to our devices. However, Dr. Jen and Dr. Dom describe how we can create small changes to optimize our posture and overall productivity. We are all victims of “text neck.” Instead of being self-critical, Dr. Jen and Dr. Dom speak about getting comfortable, changing up the monitor environment, and ways in which we can enhance neck stability to sustain and endure the positions we put ourselves in. Ultimately, with no one "optimal" position, tune in to uncover the most optimal prescription to prevent the onset of tightness, pain, and stagnant discomfort in the body.

Having More Headaches and Neck Pain Lately? With most people working from home or doing remote learning we are seeing more people coming to our office with neck pain and headache issues, and I think I know why. It may be from Forward Head Posture. Many of our Covid-19 workstations are not ergonomically correct. This puts added stress on the neck muscles that can cause not only muscle soreness but headaches as well. Here is how, forward head posture increases the workload for many of the muscles attached to the cervical spine, which has the job of holding up the head. Over time, forward head posture can lead to muscle imbalances as the body tries to adapt and find efficient ways to hold the head up for straight-ahead vision. The eyes looking straight ahead is important to maintain balance through the vestibular ocular reflex, another topic for another day. When the head is upright there is about 10-12 lbs. of weight placed on the cervical spine. When your head leans forward 15 degrees there is 27 lbs of pressure put onto the cervical spine. 30 degrees yields 40 lbs. of pressure, and 45 degrees produces 49 lbs of pressure on the cervical spine. The sternocleidomastoid is a muscle at the front of the neck, often found to be weak due to the excessive weight placed upon it during forward head posture. A unilateral contraction of the sternocleidomastoid muscle flexes the cervical vertebral column to the same side (lateral flexion) and rotates the head to the opposite side. A bilateral contraction elevates the head by extending the upper cervical joints. At the same time, it flexes the lower cervical column causing an overall bending of the neck forward towards the chest. If the head is fixed, it elevates the sternum and clavicle and, thus, expands the thoracic cavity helping expand the chest to allow the lungs to fill completely. So the sternocleidomastoid muscle must be considered when a patient presents with forward head posture and headaches. The attachment sites of the sternocleidomastoid muscle are the posterior portion performing more of the side bending movement and the anterior more of the head rotation/protraction. The muscle is easy to find by turning your head to one side, the muscle engages and you will see it run from behind your ear to your collarbone. Please make sure your therapist or doctor examines these muscles when you have headaches along with forward head posture.

We can develop a number of spinal issues as we age including spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease. However, in our younger years, if we maintain a healthy lifestyle and receive chiropractic care, we can help prevent spinal issues later in life.

Neck pain is one of the most common complaints that drive patients to seek chiropractic care. Sometimes the cause of injury is a known traumatic event, but in many cases, neck pain is the result of wear and tear from poor posture—forward head posture in particular. The head, which weighs 10-11 lbs. (4.5-5 kg), typically rests above the shoulders. When an individual's head leans forward to look at a computer screen or to look downwards at their smartphone/tablet, the muscles in the rear of the neck and upper back/shoulders need to work harder to keep the head upright. Experts estimate that for each inch (2.54 cm) of forward head posture, the head feels about 10 lbs. heavier to the muscles that attach to the back of the head and neck. To illustrate this, pick up a 10-pound object like a bowling ball and hold it close to your body. Then, hold it away from your body with your arm outstretched and feel how much heavier it seems and the strain it places on your body to maintain that position for even a short time. In the short term, forward head posture is something the body can manage, but over time, the muscles can fatigue and the strain can injure the soft tissues in the back of the neck, shoulders, and upper back. To adapt, some muscles may become stronger (and some may atrophy), the shoulders can roll forward, the cervical curve can straighten, etc. Researchers have observed that forward head posture can also reduce neck mobility, especially with rotation and forward flexion movements. While these changes can lead to several negative health issues, neck pain is perhaps the most obvious and common. When a patient presents for chiropractic care for neck pain, postural deficits will likely need to be addressed to achieve a satisfactory outcome. This can be achieved with manual therapies to restore proper motion in the affected joints and with exercises to retrain the muscles that may have become deconditioned. Additionally, a patient will need to develop better postural habits, especially when interacting with their electronic devices. While the process can take time, the good news is that it's possible to reduce forward head posture, which can also lower the risk for neck pain recurrence. www.PainReliefChiroOnline.com

Forward head posture negatively affects the autonomic nervous system. There is a strong correlation between the CVA and cervical sensorimotor outcomes. there is strong correlation between the CVA and skin sympathetic outcomes. CONCLUSION: We have identified that forward head posture is associated with abnormal autonomic nervous system function and disturbances of cervical sensorimotor control.
