I've had this done, and am getting back the results, which is like an encyclopedia of information regarding ancestry, traits, susceptibilities, DNA cousins, likely drug responses, health risks, inherited conditions, health tools, ancestry tools, etc. The results evolve and provide a wealth of information. This is a complete a***ysis and used to cost thousands of dollars. It's now available for less than $100.

Home » Auto Injury News » Blood Samples Reveal Risk of Chronic Whiplash Blood Samples Reveal Risk of Chronic Whiplash Marissa Luck November 1, 2013 Auto Injury News No comments Spread the word about chiropractic: Auto Chiropractic Social Media Service To Understand Chronic Whiplash, Researchers Look to Blood With up to 50% of whiplash patients developing chronic symptoms, researchers have continued to ask, “Why do certain people develop chronic whiplash pain while others do not?” A new study provides a potential clue into answering that question: cytokines. Cytokines are proteins secreted by cells of the immune system which aide in cell communication. Immediately after an injury, the immune system produces pro-inflammatory cytokines responsible for fighting off infection. Although whiplash itself is a traumatic event, few studies have examined the role that inflammatory chemicals play in whiplash injuries. New research published in PLoS One shows that patients who recover more quickly from whiplash tend to have certain changes in cytokine levels that chronic whiplash patients do not. Leading whiplash-researcher Michele Sterling of the University of Queensland in Australia and her colleagues studied how cytokine levels fluctuate in whiplash patients over time. They studied 40 patients within 2-3 weeks after sustaining a whiplash injury, and compared them to 18 healthy controls. Participants were evaluated for disability level, hyperalgesia (pain sensitivity), pain scores, and psychological symptoms. Researchers also collected serum blood samples to evaluate cytokine levels, and took MRI scans to pinpoint the development of muscle fatty infiltrates indicative of morphological muscle changes. Typically, it becomes apparent whether or not a patient will develop chronic symptoms within 2-3 months post injury, so researchers took initial tests and conducted follow-up tests three months later. At first, all whiplash patients had higher levels of a pro-inflammatory cytokine called C-reactive protein (CRP), which is a signal of overall inflammation in the body. Three months after the injury however, some of the patients had reduced CRP levels. These patients were also the ones who were more likely to recover. Patients with better recovery rates also continued to have elevated levels of a cytokine called TNF-α. This was surprising since the presence of pro-inflammatory cytokines usually signals increased inflammation. However, the researchers also found that patients with higher TNF-α levels at three months seemed to have fewer muscle fatty infiltrates. They speculated that increased initial TNF-α levels may have actually facilitated muscle recovery. The researchers also discovered that higher CRP levels were correlated with reduced pain tolerance, and that none of the inflammatory biomarkers measured significantly correlated with psychological symptoms. They speculated that the lack of correlation between inflammatory biomarkers and psychological symptoms may have been because only 20% of the patients had symptoms of PTSD. Other research of patients with more severe PTSD symptoms has pointed to a relationship between inflammatory biomarkers and psychological symptoms. If this research is confirmed in future studies, tracking changes in inflammatory biomarkers using serum blood tests may offer clues into determining a patient’s risk of chronic symptoms.

Sources of Whiplash Pain Chiropractic Treatments for Whiplash Preventing Chronic Pain from Whiplash Muscle Dysfunction from Whiplash Injuries More Chiropractic Info: Chiropractic Treatment Spinal Decompression Selecting a Chiropractor Chiropractic Adjustments When joint dysfunction develops, muscles are affected. Some muscles respond by becoming tense and overactive, while others respond by becoming inhibited and underactive. In either case, these muscles can develop trigger points that may necessitate whiplash treatment involving muscle relaxation or stimulation. Trigger points are areas of congestion within the muscle where toxins acc**ulate. These toxins can irritate the nerve endings within the muscle and produce pain. This whiplash pain can occur in the muscle itself or can be referred pain (perceived in other areas of the body). The muscle can also send abnormal neurological signals into the nervous system, which can then cause disruption of the ability of the nervous system to properly regulate muscles in other parts of the body, leading to the development of faulty movement patterns. Faulty Movement Patterns and Whiplash Pain Cervical Spine Adjustment Thumbnail Chiropractic Adjustment of the Neck Video It is thought that the intense barrage of pain signals from a traumatic whiplash injury to the cervical spine can change the way the nervous system controls the coordinated function of muscles.3 The disruption of coordinated, stable movement is known as faulty movement patterns. Faulty movement patterns cause increased strain in the muscles and joints, leading to neck pain and back pain. They can involve the neck itself or can arise from dysfunction in other areas of the body such as the foot or pelvis. Instability is also considered part of faulty movement patterns. There are 2 types of instability that can occur in whiplash: Passive instability—the ligaments of the neck are loosened, making it more susceptible to whiplash pain Dynamic instability—the nervous system disruption causes a disturbance in the body’s natural muscular response to common, everyday forces.3 As a result of instability, even mild, innocuous activities can be difficult to perform as they often exacerbate the whiplash pain. Whiplash Pain from a Herniated Disc The force of whiplash can cause injury to the discs between the vertebrae, and small tears can develop. If the gelatinous middle of the disc seeps out, it can irritate the nerve endings in this area. This is known as disc derangement. Occasionally, the gel can seep all the way out and press on a nerve root exiting the spinal cord behind the disc, known as disc herniation.

The light from low level lasers can penetrate the skin and tissues between 2-5 cm and those photons are absorbed by the tissue cells to generate more energy, which is believed to help those tissues heal faster. http://www.spine-health.com/treatment/pain-management/cold-laser-therapy-pain-management-treatment

There are well over 100 types of adjustment techniques used by chiropractors throughout the world. Typically, chiropractors will focus on and utilize 8 to 10 different approaches in their practice. The common goal of most chiropractic techniques is to restore or to enhance joint function, with the general goals of resolving joint inflammation and reducing pain. Some approaches use some force (spinal manipulation), while others are more gentle (spinal mobilization). The original chiropractic adjustment approach is generally referred to as spinal manipulation, and may also be called the diversified technique or the high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust. New chiropractic adjustment approaches typically evolve as a variation from an existing technique and are often named after the chiropractor who developed it. http://www.spine-health.com/video/chiropractic-adjustment-lumbar-spine-low-back-video This article reviews a number of the most commonly used spinal manipulation and spinal mobilization techniques currently used by chiropractors.

Chiropractic is a health care profession that treats back pain, neck pain, sciatica, joint problems, sprains, strains, osteoarthritis, herniated discs and other musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. A chiropractor does not prescribe drugs or surgery but traditionally relies on a variety of manual therapies, including spinal manipulation and mobilization, to improve function and provide pain relief for patients. While chiropractic adjustments of the joints are commonly associated with this profession, doctors of chiropractic are not just limited to manipulation of the spine. Many evidence-based chiropractic treatments, including but not limited to the use of physiologic therapeutics like ultrasound, electrical nerve stimulation and traction, and the incorporation of exercise, nutrition and postural programs, are part of modern chiropractic care.
