Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It deteriorates a person’s physical and mental abilities during their prime working years and has no cure. Every child of a parent with HD has a 50/50 chance of inheriting the faulty gene. Today, there are approximately 41,000 symptomatic Americans and more than 200,000 at-risk of inheriting the disease. The symptoms of HD are described as having ALS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s – simultaneously.

The Huntington’s Disease Society of America is the premier nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of everyone affected by HD. From community services and education to advocacy and research, HDSA is the world’s leader in providing help for today and hope for tomorrow for people with HD and their families. HDSA was founded in 1967 by Marjorie Guthrie, the wife of legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie. Woody died from HD complications when he was only 55 years old, but the Guthrie family legacy lives on at HDSA to this day.

Dr. Joshua Jorde joins us each month in our Working on Wellness Wednesday show

March this year seems to have been in like a lion and out like a lamb. Although this week is maybe not quite as nice as some days we’ve had this month, at least we aren’t having the dramatic fluctuations between a few inches of snow followed by temps in the 90s. With those nice days though, people have indeed been getting into the spring cleaning activities I discussed the last time I was on and, likewise, there’s been aches and pains. However, some of the things I’ve been seeing lately have reminded me that what I expect to be treating at certain times of the year aren’t always things patients expect to have treated.

    Pretty much everyone, even without having been to a chiropractor before, knows that chiropractors work on the spine. However, some people think chiropractors *only* work on the spine. There is, to an extent, a reason for that belief, which I can go into, but for the most part, chiropractors can and do work on just about every joint in the body. Some of the most common non-spinal ones I see are hips, shoulders, knees, elbows, wrists, and ankles. One of the stories I most bring up on this topic is a patient I saw who came in for low back pain and after going through the case history, I asked if he had any other notable aches or pains or health concerns and he replied, “Just this bad shoulder, but you can’t do anything about that.” So I asked him why not and what was going on with it and could already see the gears turning in his head before he replied rhetorically, “Yeah. Why can’t you do anything about that?” So I worked on his back and worked on his

shoulder and his back was doing a bit better when he got up, but in the case of his shoulder, he said it was the best it had been in 2 years. 

     He even started to tear up a little bit as he was kicking himself because he had gone to other chiropractors in that time which also gave relief for his recurrent back pain, but he simply had never brought up his shoulder to them before.

     Most of the cases I’ve been seeing recently have been the lower extremity as people are just starting to get out more regularly for walking, jogging, and biking as well as being down on knees clearing out brush in gardens. Though I’ve had a few people with shoulder issues come in as well, especially those busy with indoor spring cleaning and reaching upwards or working overhead

     It should be noted though that a lot of aches and pains in shoulders and hips aren’t necessarily coming from there. They may be stemming from radiating pain from the neck or lower back, respectively. In those cases, although local pain in the neck or low back is the norm, it’s not a requirement for radiating pain to be present. This is one of the many reasons a case history is so important. If someone comes in with shoulder pain and it began immediately after a particular throw after their first softball practice, I’m going to lean toward the shoulder itself being the culprit. If shoulder pain came on seemingly out of nowhere and doesn’t worsen with any particular motions, probably stemming from the neck. In either case, it’s not a guarantee, however. As such, in both cases most chiropractors will check both the neck and shoulder.       This is to not only find the origin, but also any compensations, as well as because most health care professionals are taught to both listen to and ignore “the rule of parsimony” at the same time and with good reason.

One final thing I’d like to bring up when it comes to extremities and people being unsure if chiropractors can do anything for it is the jaw. Most of the time even dentists try to avoid dealing with any jaw issues

 unless they’re at the point where surgery is recommended and most dentists I’ve gone to since I became a chiropractor have asked if I do work on jaws and if they can refer in to me. I definitely take a less-is-

more approach to working on the jaw, but it is indeed yet another joint that I and many other chiropractors can help with.

So if you’re looking for a chiropractor for knee, shoulder, jaw, or hip pain, or even any spinal pain for that matter, we have three at Jorde Chiropractic Clinic. You can call us at 6053350880 or check us out online and even book in online at jordechiropractic.com. We’re located at 2821 S Center Ave just north of the Hy-Vee on Minnesota—office hours MWF –9:50—TTh—9-12:30---and Saturday 9 to noon.
