Dr. Joshua Jordee will explain we came off a nice week—and a scorching weekend----wind knocking trees or no wind—all following Fox Business News on the Half HOUR---

9:32/30---Wellness Wednesday

 

---------Dr. Joshua Jordee is with us---half weather man and even needed to be able to clean up as well..

   We’re coming off a nice week and a scorching weekend, from sun to storms, and wind knocking over trees to no wind at all.

 

   Likewise, I’ve had plenty of patients come in for traumatic injuries usually from sports or just slipping and missing a step or curb, repetitive motion injuries dealing with fallen limbs and branches in particular, travelling stress especially for big family events, and even patients dealing with significant changes in diet or medication leading to some issues.

    So I figured it would be a good time to explain some of the causes of subluxations and, more importantly, how to avoid or mitigate some of them in the first place In general, when chiropractors treat patients, while we end up providing relief for various conditions including aches and pains of the joints and muscles, radiculopathy, some neuropathy, headaches, et cetera, what all chiropractors ultimately treat are called ‘subluxations.’

    In the most basic terms with the etymology, that means ‘sub’ as in ‘less than’ and ‘luxation’ which is an old term for ‘dislocation’; so essentially ‘less than a dislocation’.  That is to say, a subluxation could be defined as a misalignment

where the joint is still whole, but one or both ends of the joint as sitting in the joint space incorrectly.

     There’s a bit more to it than just that and there’s   even some disagreement about some of the finer points within the profession, but it’s pretty much universally agreed upon within the profession that it also includes and neurological component.

      That is to say, whether it’s that, because of the dysfunction in the spine, the nerve is compressed deeply enough that nerve flow is being cut off or, more likely, that the nerve is being rubbed up on due to the dysfunction and getting irritated, chiropractors are targeting

the nervous system including all the various ways it affects the body, though we do so through impacting the joints of the spine (and sometimes other joints of the body).

      Often times patients care more about what causes these subluxations  rather than how to correct them, however, since the way to correct them lies entirely within the purview of the chiropractor, while prevention falls on the patient. Within the chiropractic profession, we say the causes are the ‘Three Ts’:

Thoughts, Traumas, and Toxins. Out of those three, traumas are of course the most obvious. Sometimes it means a singular sudden trauma, though it also often means a repetitive trauma or a “straw that

broke the camel’s back” situation. The ‘toxins’ is still reasonably clear in that it relates to diet and environment and health in general.

    Horrible nutrition or being in a physically toxic environment will deteriorate health including reducing the body’s ability to maintain structural stability in tendons and ligaments, so traumas are more likely to have an impact due to the reduced resilience.

     Thoughts work in a similar way to toxins, but are a bit lessobvious. Even within Chiropractic College, some early student would hear that and joke that a classmate should go get an adjustment if they have

a negative thought. Most of them would realize a few trimesters later firsthand what it means; stress over regular classes, getting ready to start seeing patients for the first time in clinic, studying for national

board exams, etc. all adds up and that increased stress leads to decreased health in the form of ligament laxity which again increases the likelihood of traumas causing subluxations. Increased stress also has been found to decrease the immune system, by the way.

 

    How can we use this knowledge to keep ourselves subluxation free? Regarding traumas, most people already try and avoid sudden trauma if they see it coming, but to avoid repetitive trauma, stay limber and stretch before prolonged activities and also try and avoid doing the same activity for two long without a break or at least changing to a different activity which uses different muscles and motions. To avoid toxins, make sure your nutrition is good and you’re not eating too much junk food. Avoid tobacco or vaping and take heed of all safety precautions if working in a hazardous environment. To avoid ‘thoughts,’ or rather stress one could say, take time to meditate, but also to exercise. Stress evolved with exercise in mind back when the major stressors in man were the need to run after food and the need to run away from becoming food. Even walking a half hour at the end of the day is enough to significantly reduce overall cortisol levels. But if you do get subluxated and need to get an adjustment, we are back to three doctors again at Jorde Chiropractic Clinic.

     We are open MWF 9-530, TTh 9-1230, Sat 9-noon. You can find us at 2821 S Center Ave just north of the Hyvee on Minnesota. You can also call us at 6053350880 or visit online at

     Next week I’ll be talking about back to school stuff and, even more than that, next Thursday, August 6 th , Dr. Plueger will be putting on a back to school and backpack safety talk in the office at 6pm. You can

RSVP on our website under the ‘events’ tab—

The Power of Social Connections for Older Adults

Social interactions, whether through friendships, romantic relationships, or shared activities like gaming, allow older adults to stay engaged with family, friends, and their communities, leading to a higher quality of life and enhancing happiness, health, well-being, and longevity.

 

Loneliness among adults 45 and older is rising at an alarming rate. According to a recent AARP study, 40% of U.S. adults now report being lonely, a significant increase from 35% in both 2010 and 2018. Adults in their 40s and 50s are especially vulnerable, facing unique pressures such as work stress, caregiving responsibilities, and changing family dynamics. A shrinking social network is one of the strongest predictors of loneliness. Nearly half of lonely adults have limited social resources and wish for stronger connections, and technology offers both help and risks. It can help some maintain relationships, like phone calls and video calls, but that doesn’t necessarily create deep connections. And, many lonely adults turn to solitary activities like internet surfing, social media or games – which isn’t a substitute for meaningful, in-person activities.

 

Major life changes — retirement, children moving away, or the loss of loved ones — are common triggers for loneliness. The difference between lonely and nonlonely adults often lies in how relationships are managed during these transitions. Social connections are a lifeline; reaching out to a friend, engaging in community activities, or simply starting a conversation can make a meaningful difference. By fostering a more connected society, we can create a community where everyone feels seen, valued and supported.

---------Dr. Joshua Jordee is with us---half weather man and even needed to be able to clean up as well..
&nbsp;&nbsp; We&rsquo;re coming off a nice week and a scorching weekend, from sun to storms, and wind knocking over trees to no wind at all.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp; Likewise, I&rsquo;ve had plenty of patients come in for traumatic injuries usually from sports or just slipping and missing a step or curb, repetitive motion injuries dealing with fallen limbs and branches in particular, travelling stress especially for big family events, and even patients dealing with significant changes in diet or medication leading to some issues.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; So I figured it would be a good time to explain some of the causes of subluxations and, more importantly, how to avoid or mitigate some of them in the first place In general, when chiropractors treat patients, while we end up providing relief for various conditions including aches and pains of the joints and muscles, radiculopathy, some neuropathy, headaches, et cetera, what all chiropractors ultimately treat are called &lsquo;subluxations.&rsquo;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In the most basic terms with the etymology, that means &lsquo;sub&rsquo; as in &lsquo;less than&rsquo; and &lsquo;luxation&rsquo; which is an old term for &lsquo;dislocation&rsquo;; so essentially &lsquo;less than a dislocation&rsquo;.&nbsp; That is to say, a subluxation could be defined as a misalignment
where the joint is still whole, but one or both ends of the joint as sitting in the joint space incorrectly.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; There&rsquo;s a bit more to it than just that and there&rsquo;s&nbsp;&nbsp; even some disagreement about some of the finer points within the profession, but it&rsquo;s pretty much universally agreed upon within the profession that it also includes and neurological component.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That is to say, whether it&rsquo;s that, because of the dysfunction in the spine, the nerve is compressed deeply enough that nerve flow is being cut off or, more likely, that the nerve is being rubbed up on due to the dysfunction and getting irritated, chiropractors are targeting
the nervous system including all the various ways it affects the body, though we do so through impacting the joints of the spine (and sometimes other joints of the body).
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Often times patients care more about what causes these subluxations &nbsp;rather than how to correct them, however, since the way to correct them lies entirely within the purview of the chiropractor, while prevention falls on the patient. Within the chiropractic profession, we say the causes are the &lsquo;Three Ts&rsquo;:
Thoughts, Traumas, and Toxins. Out of those three, traumas are of course the most obvious. Sometimes it means a singular sudden trauma, though it also often means a repetitive trauma or a &ldquo;straw that
broke the camel&rsquo;s back&rdquo; situation. The &lsquo;toxins&rsquo; is still reasonably clear in that it relates to diet and environment and health in general.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Horrible nutrition or being in a physically toxic environment will deteriorate health including reducing the body&rsquo;s ability to maintain structural stability in tendons and ligaments, so traumas are more likely to have an impact due to the reduced resilience.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thoughts work in a similar way to toxins, but are a bit lessobvious. Even within Chiropractic College, some early student would hear that and joke that a classmate should go get an adjustment if they have
a negative thought. Most of them would realize a few trimesters later firsthand what it means; stress over regular classes, getting ready to start seeing patients for the first time in clinic, studying for national
board exams, etc. all adds up and that increased stress leads to decreased health in the form of ligament laxity which again increases the likelihood of traumas causing subluxations. Increased stress also has been found to decrease the immune system, by the way.
&nbsp;
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; How can we use this knowledge to keep ourselves subluxation free? Regarding traumas, most people already try and avoid sudden trauma if they see it coming, but to avoid repetitive trauma, stay limber and stretch before prolonged activities and also try and avoid doing the same activity for two long without a break or at least changing to a different activity which uses different muscles and motions. To avoid toxins, make sure your nutrition is good and you&rsquo;re not eating too much junk food. Avoid tobacco or vaping and take heed of all safety precautions if working in a hazardous environment. To avoid &lsquo;thoughts,&rsquo; or rather stress one could say, take time to meditate, but also to exercise. Stress evolved with exercise in mind back when the major stressors in man were the need to run after food and the need to run away from becoming food. Even walking a half hour at the end of the day is enough to significantly reduce overall cortisol levels. But if you do get subluxated and need to get an adjustment, we are back to three doctors again at Jorde Chiropractic Clinic.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We are open MWF 9-530, TTh 9-1230, Sat 9-noon. You can find us at 2821 S Center Ave just north of the Hyvee on Minnesota. You can also call us at 6053350880 or visit online at

The Power of Social Connections for Older Adults
Social interactions, whether through friendships, romantic relationships, or shared activities like gaming, allow older adults to stay engaged with family, friends, and their communities, leading to a higher quality of life and enhancing happiness, health, well-being, and longevity.
&nbsp;
Loneliness among adults 45 and older is rising at an alarming rate. According to a recent AARP study, 40% of U.S. adults now report being lonely, a significant increase from 35% in both 2010 and 2018.&nbsp;Adults in their 40s and 50s are especially vulnerable, facing unique pressures such as work stress, caregiving responsibilities, and changing family dynamics.&nbsp;A shrinking social network is one of the strongest predictors of loneliness. Nearly half of lonely adults have limited social resources and wish for stronger connections, and technology offers both help and risks. It can help some maintain relationships, like phone calls and video calls, but that doesn&rsquo;t necessarily create deep connections. And, many lonely adults turn to solitary activities like internet surfing, social media or games &ndash; which isn&rsquo;t a substitute for meaningful, in-person activities.
&nbsp;
Major life changes &mdash; retirement, children moving away, or the loss of loved ones &mdash; are common triggers for loneliness. The difference between lonely and nonlonely adults often lies in how relationships are managed during these transitions.&nbsp;Social connections are a lifeline; reaching out to a friend, engaging in community activities, or simply starting a conversation can make a meaningful difference. By fostering a more connected society, we can create a community where everyone feels seen, valued and supported.&nbsp;
