Episode 26-38 Help For Post-Concussion Syndrome, TMJ and Headaches Very few Chiropractors, Medical Doctors and Physical Therapists receive training in the detection and correction of misalignments to the bones of the cranium (skull). Heck, very few Chiropractors, Medical Doctors and Physical Therapists are even aware that the bones of the cranium move and can become "misaligned," That's a shame because a misaligned cranial bone can be THE CAUSE of conditions such as Bell's Palsy, Trigeminal Neuralgia, Vertigo, Tinnitus, TMJ, Headaches, Neck Pain, Memory Loss, Brain Fog, Depression, Insomnia, and Impaired Vision. Although there are many potential causes of a misaligned cranial bone the most common one is head trauma. Yes, trauma to the head is the most common cause of a misaligned cranial bone and can be THE UNDERLYING CAUSE of the symptoms listed above. When this happens… when a person suffers head trauma and corresponding symptoms… it is called Post-Concussion Syndrome. For many sufferers of Post-Concussion Syndrome traditional care from a Chiropractor, Medical Doctor and/or Physical Therapist will provide relief. But not always. You see, there are some individuals with Post-Concussion Syndrome who WON'T get better from traditional care. Individuals who will continue to suffer for months, and even years, after the initial injury. This shouldn't be.  THESE individuals should be seeking out a doctor who is skilled in Cranial Therapy. Someone who knows how to detect and correct misalignments to the bones of the skull. On this week's episode I talk about Post-Concussion Syndrome… how it can cause the variety of symptoms listed above… and what doctors like myself do to correct it. Give this episode a good listen if you, or someone you know, has suffered with head trauma and/or the symptoms listed above. And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.

Reflections on participation in the community, as self-reported by young people with cerebral palsyJacinta Quartermaine, T A Rose, Megan Auld, Leanne JohnstonAbstractBackground and objective: This study focused on the community-based participation experiences of young people with cerebral palsy (CP), investigating the factors that make participation easier or harder.Methods: Accessible methods were utilized to explore the perspectives of 15 young people with CP aged 15 to 26 years with diverse motor and communication abilities (Gross Motor Function Classification System I = 4, II = 6, III = 1, IV = 3, V = 1, Viking Speech Scale I = 7, II = 4, III = 3, IV = 1). Participants provided regular written reflections, photographs, or videos about their community-based participation. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.Results: Self-reported reflections were grouped inductively into 421 codes, then 22 subthemes and 6 themes: (i) My CP characteristics can make participation in the community more difficult; (ii) My own thoughts, emotions, confidence, and sense of achievement influence the things I do in the community; (iii) Accessibility of the environment and availability of equipment influences my participation in the community; (iv) The range of supports I have available influences my participation in the community; (v) Whether the community activity has been adjusted to include and involve me influences my participation; and (vi) The attitudes, actions, and level of acceptance from others in the community influences my participation.Discussion: Key factors influencing community-based participation for young people included CP characteristics, thoughts, emotions, confidence, environment, equipment, supports, accommodations, attitudes, actions, and acceptance.Keywords: Cerebral palsy; community; participation; qualitative thematic analysis; young people.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42143034/

Episode 26-37 A Natural Cure For Bell's Palsy And Trigeminal Neuralgia? Bell's Palsy is a condition in which the muscles on one side of a person's face lose their nerve supply and become weak. This weakness typically results in the eyebrow and corner of the mouth to droop on the affected side. The nerve involved is the 7th cranial nerve, also known as the Facial Nerve.   Trigeminal Neuralgia is a condition where a person experiences sudden and severe pain on one side of their face. The pain usually comes in bursts and can feel like an electrical shock. The nerve involved is the 5th cranial nerve, also known as the Trigeminal Nerve.   In both Bell's Palsy and Trigeminal Neuralgia a cure may be difficult to obtain through standard medical care. Fortunately, there are options beyond standard medical care. On this episode I explore one such option… an approach that I have used to help individuals who were suffering with Bell's Palsy or Trigeminal Neuralgia. Give this episode a good listen... especially if you, or someone you know, suffer with Bell's Palsy or Trigeminal Neuralgia. And, as always, please share this episode with a friend.

From evidence to practice: factors influencing the implementation of cord blood treatment for cerebral palsy in the United StatesMadison C B Paton, Joanne Kurtzberg, Jessica Sun, Sarah Reedman, Remy Blatch-Williams, Michael Fahey, Iona Novak, Megan Finch-EdmondsonAbstractBackground and aims: Cord blood infusion is an emerging treatment for cerebral palsy (CP) currently offered in the United States through clinical trials and an expanded access pathway. This study aimed to understand the barriers and facilitators influencing implementation of cord blood treatment for CP, to help inform future implementation efforts.Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with US professionals involved in the cord blood treatment program for CP at Duke University and a collaborator site. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis.Results: From 16 interviews, 5 themes were identified capturing patterned barriers and enablers. Key facilitators included boundary-spanning clinical leadership, interprofessional coordination, dedicated resourcing, responsiveness to community demand, an established safety profile, and a strong research culture. Barriers included the need for cross-disciplinary expertise, uncertainty regarding efficacy evidence, funding and regulatory constraints, and system-level challenges. Participants described that many barriers were overcome to establish the program, while acknowledging that others may persist and are context dependent.Conclusions: Findings highlight that implementation of cord blood treatment for CP is feasible within specialized settings but contingent on local infrastructure, governance, and workforce capacity. Identified facilitators align with established implementation strategies and offer transferable insights, while underscoring the need for regulatory approval, ethical oversight, and system-level supports to enable equitable and sustainable access to emerging regenerative therapies for CP.Keywords: barriers; cerebral palsy; cord blood; facilitators; implementation.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42571975/

Muscle morphology and intramuscular fat after treatment as usual including BonTA in children with cerebral palsy - a commentary and some context.Associate Professor Sian WilliamsDecreased muscle size (muscle atrophy) and fat infiltration have been believed to be two important muscle changes during the growth of children with cerebral palsy (CP). Muscle atrophy has been well demonstrated in short-term studies in the calf muscle (medial gastrocnemius; MG) in children with CP. However, intramuscular fat infiltration has been less studied, mainly because it has been difficult to measure accurately. Therefore, there is a need for long-term follow-up of muscle alteration, including both muscle structure and composition, in children with CP using a technique that can provide reliable, quantitative, and specific measurement.In this study, we used different MRI techniques to evaluate muscle composition including intramuscular fat content changes after a 12-month treatment-as-usual (TAU), starting with the first botulinum neurotoxin A (BoNT-A) injection, in children with CP and typically developing peers. All children with CP received at least one injection into the MG. We measured muscle volume, fascicle length, pennation angle, and intramuscular fat fraction of four lower leg muscles, including both muscles that point the foot downward (plantarflexors) and upward (dorsiflexors).We found that the muscle volume (when adjusted for body size) of all evaluated muscles was not changed after the 12-month TAU in children with CP. Similar results were observed for muscle structure at the fascicle level, including fascicle length and pennation angle. However, the amount of fat within the muscle increased in the MG at the 12-month follow-up.After a 12-month TAU which involves BoNT-A injection, there was no clear evidence of ingoing muscle atrophy in the lower-leg muscles, including both plantarflexors and dorsiflexors. However, we found increased infiltration of intramuscular fat in the injected muscle (MG), suggesting changes in muscle composition despite stable muscle size.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42501405/

Gross Motor Function Measure 66 Item Sets for use with infants and toddlers at high risk for cerebral palsy: construct validity and responsiveness.Natalie A Koziol, Christiana D Butera, Lin-Ya Hsu, Silvana Alves Pereira, Stacey C DusingFunded by AACPDM - Professor Dusing appears on the podcast thanks to the generosity of the AACPDM.AbstractAim: To evaluate the construct validity and responsiveness of the Gross Motor Function Measure-66 Item Set (GMFM-66-IS), a standardized criterion-referenced observational measure, for use with children younger than 24 months with or at high risk for cerebral palsy (CP).Method: Non-experimental integrative data analysis was performed on secondary data from three clinical trials involving children with or at high risk for CP (n = 79, 42 males, mean corrected age = 11.3 months [SD = 4.9]), and one observational study of typically developing children (n = 32, 14 males, mean age = 5.7 months [SD = 0.8]). The GMFM-66-IS and comparator instrument (gross motor subtest from the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition [Bayley-III] or Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Fourth Edition [Bayley-4], depending on the study) were administered at baseline and 3 months later. Comparator groups were based on neurological impairment, clinical rating of gross motor change, and CP status. Correlations (r) and regression-adjusted standardized mean differences (Hedges' g) were computed.Results: GMFM-66-IS and Bayley scores were correlated at baseline (r = 0.83), 3 months later (r = 0.88), and across time (r = 0.83). Children with mild impairment had higher mean GMFM-66-IS scores at baseline (g = 0.87) and 3 months later (g = 0.95). Children rated as demonstrating greater than expected gross motor change had larger mean GMFM-66-IS change scores than children demonstrating less than expected change (g = 0.62). Typically developing children had larger mean GMFM-66-IS change scores (g = 1.00).Interpretation: GMFM-66-IS scores were supported by evidence of strong construct validity and moderate responsivenesshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39951388/

Today, we’re joined by Coby and Cory Cotton of Dude Perfect, who share how a simple idea filmed in a backyard with friends grew into videos watched by millions around the world on YouTube. They reflect on the early days of creating trick shots just for fun, the challenges that came with unexpected success, and a medical emergency that reminded them to slow down and make room for what matters most. Next, we hear from author and grief counselor Jennifer Marshall Bleakley, who shares how losing her golden retriever, Bailey, opened her eyes to the depths of pet grief, the memories that remain, and the love we carry after saying goodbye.

So many people have been so hurt by other people. How kind of God to sprinkle ambassadors of His grace all across this planet in the form of animals. God is constantly pointing us to animals throughout Scripture, encouraging us to look to the eagle, to look to the lion who He feeds, to look to the ant who’s busy at work.” - Jennifer Marshall Bleakley “Animals are the ones that we can be 100% ourselves with. They show up for us on the good days and the bad days and are as impressed by us when we feel like we have it all together and when we’ve just fallen on our face. I really do think it is a beautiful picture of God’s love and His feelings toward us that we don’t have to try to clean ourselves up to come to Him. He just loves us as we are and just desires for us to be present with Him.” - Jennifer Marshall Bleakley “I discovered firsthand that God is not afraid of our questions and that He will hold us through them.” - Jennifer Marshall Bleakley “I think it’s vitally important for us, especially as believers, to honor the grief that people feel when they’ve lost a pet. It is such a kindness and a gift to hold space for someone who is grieving, to be a compassionate witness and just say, ‘I see you and I’m going to stay here with you in the hurt and in the heavy.’” - Jennifer Marshall Bleakley “Invite people to invite us into their pain and then to weep with them, to stand with them in that pain, to sit with them, and then gently start to walk with them toward the light of healing.” - Jennifer Marshall Bleakley ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

This episode is quite the opposite of what we found in the book of Job. Job's "friends" were not faithful to God or to Job and in fact they turned against him and proved that they were not true friends in the end.This story is about 4 friends who went to great effort to help a friend in need. So much so, that they tore apart the roof of someone's house.

This month on Laura Flanders & Friends we're lifting up the people, the stories, and the ideas driving disability justice forward.  This week, We'll hear from a comedian and unapologetic voice weaving together disability rights and Palestinian identity with humor and sharp political insight. These audio exclusives are made possible thanks to our member supporters. Become a supporting member at https://LauraFlanders.org/Donate Description [Original Release Date December 8, 2024]:  Israel's US-backed war on Gaza has been a mass disabling event. Today's guest says we must create a “viable, accessible future” for the disabled Palestinians we have failed. Maysoon Zayid is a comedian, Princeton Fellow, and unapologetic voice for both disability rights and Palestinian identity. A fierce advocate with cerebral palsy, Zaid proves that the most powerful messages often come from unexpected places and are filled with laughter. She's lost tens of thousands of dollars of contracts for her views, she says, but that hasn't stopped her “making funny during a genocide” on social media all year. And she's shown her followers her home village in Palestine — the best place on earth, she says, despite the onslaught of oppression and violence that her people have endured. Maysoon co-founded the New York Arab American Comedy Festival and the Muslim Funny Fest. Her viral Ted Talk, “I Got 99 Problems...Palsy is Just One,” has been translated into 42 languages, and was one of the most popular talks of 2014. She's the author of “Shiny Misfits”, the new graphic novel that tells the story of Bay Ann, a disabled girl and her cat friend that rock star Dave Matthews narrates for the audiobook. In this conversation filled with heart and humor, hear how comedy shines a light on injustice and serves as a voice of resistance. All that, plus a commentary from Laura on human shields. “I've always used comedy to humanize and educate on disability. And this is the moment because the future of Palestine is disabled and between life and death, there's disability. I don't think it's better to be dead than to be disabled. I want us to create a viable, accessible future for this cohort of human beings that we have failed in the present.” - Maysoon Zayid Guest:  Maysoon Zayid: Comedian & Disability Advocate; Author, Shiny Misfits   Music Credits:  “Purpose Love” by Jhelisa released on Dorado Records;  "Steppin'" by Podington Bear;  Original sound design by Jeannie Hopper RESOURCES: Watch the broadcast episode cut for time at our YouTube channel and airing on PBS stations across the country  Related Laura Flanders Show Episodes: • “The Future is Disabled”: Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha.

This month on Laura Flanders & Friends we're lifting up the people, the stories, and the ideas driving disability justice forward.  This week, We'll hear from a comedian and unapologetic voice weaving together disability rights and Palestinian identity with humor and sharp political insight. These audio exclusives are made possible thanks to our member supporters. Become a supporting member at https://LauraFlanders.org/Donate Description [Original Release Date December 8, 2024]: Israel's US-backed war on Gaza has been a mass disabling event. Today's guest says we must create a “viable, accessible future” for the disabled Palestinians we have failed. Maysoon Zayid is a comedian, Princeton Fellow, and unapologetic voice for both disability rights and Palestinian identity. A fierce advocate with cerebral palsy, Zaid proves that the most powerful messages often come from unexpected places and are filled with laughter. She's lost tens of thousands of dollars of contracts for her views, she says, but that hasn't stopped her “making funny during a genocide” on social media all year. And she's shown her followers her home village in Palestine — the best place on earth, she says, despite the onslaught of oppression and violence that her people have endured. Maysoon co-founded the New York Arab American Comedy Festival and the Muslim Funny Fest. Her viral Ted Talk, “I Got 99 Problems...Palsy is Just One,” has been translated into 42 languages, and was one of the most popular talks of 2014. She's the author of “Shiny Misfits”, the new graphic novel that tells the story of Bay Ann, a disabled girl and her cat friend that rock star Dave Matthews narrates for the audiobook. In this conversation filled with heart and humor, hear how comedy shines a light on injustice and serves as a voice of resistance. All that, plus a commentary from Laura on human shields. “I've always used comedy to humanize and educate on disability. And this is the moment because the future of Palestine is disabled and between life and death, there's disability. I don't think it's better to be dead than to be disabled. I want us to create a viable, accessible future for this cohort of human beings that we have failed in the present.” - Maysoon Zayid Guest:  Maysoon Zayid: Comedian & Disability Advocate; Author, Shiny Misfits   Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

In Season 10, Episode 6 of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast, Izzy Baker sits down with endurance athlete, motivational speaker, and disability advocate Kyle Pease, alongside his brother Brent Pease, for one of the most inspiring conversations of the season. This episode explores identity, cerebral palsy, men's mental health, self-worth, emotional resilience, disability awareness, and the dangerous labels society places on people. If you've ever struggled with comparison, insecurity, confidence, purpose, or wondering whether your past defines your future, this conversation is for you.The episode centers around one powerful idea: "It's not what you're called—it's what you answer to." From childhood labels to adulthood expectations, Izzy and the Pease brothers discuss how words like disabled, handicapped, athlete, successful, failure, or even "strong" can quietly shape the way people see themselves. Instead of allowing labels to become limitations, they explain how purpose, faith, and perseverance can redefine identity from the inside out.Kyle shares what life has been like growing up with cerebral palsy, overcoming assumptions about what he would never accomplish, and becoming one of the most recognizable endurance athletes in adaptive sports. Brent opens up about supporting his brother throughout life, discovering purpose through service, and how their relationship eventually led them to complete more than 150 endurance races together, including Ironman competitions. Their story becomes less about disability and more about brotherhood, resilience, and refusing to allow circumstances to dictate destiny.The conversation also explores comparison culture, fitness, social media, self-confidence, and why so many men unintentionally build their entire identity around careers, athletic achievements, money, popularity, or physical appearance. Izzy reflects on his own journey with Bell's Palsy, weight loss, and learning to separate who he is from what he does. Together, the group discusses how identity rooted in performance often leads to anxiety, burnout, depression, and emotional instability when life inevitably changes.Throughout the episode, the discussion dives into men's mental health, emotional resilience, therapy, disability representation, family support, loneliness, fitness culture, endurance sports, purpose, and faith. Drawing from current mental health research alongside personal testimony, the conversation challenges listeners to stop allowing labels, criticism, diagnoses, or past experiences to determine who they become. Instead, they argue that true confidence comes from understanding your purpose rather than seeking validation from the opinions of others.Season 10 continues to challenge the conversations men often avoid. Whether you've wrestled with comparison, insecurity, disability, emotional pressure, identity, or simply wondering if your life has a greater purpose, this episode offers practical wisdom and genuine encouragement to keep moving forward. Because sometimes the biggest obstacle isn't the label someone else places on you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

Every medical treatment needs to start with a diagnosis, but sometimes that diagnosis proves elusive. Sometimes it may appear that a person has one thing needing treatment, and after that treatment doesn't work, doctors have to consider other possibilities. Dr. Amit Kochhar at Pacific Neuroscience Institute sees patients with facial paralysis, which is often diagnosed as Bell's Palsy or Ramsey Hunt Syndrome—but sometimes turns out to be a cancerous tumor on a facial nerve. Doctors try to figure that out as quickly as possible, so they can remove the tumor and begin the work of restoring the patient's appearance. In today's episode, Dr. Kochhar describes these various symptoms and explains how he reaches the right diagnosis and treatment for his patients.
