One-fifth of spine surgery patients develop PTSD symptoms

Nearly 20 percent of people who underwent low back fusion surgery developed post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms associated with that surgery, according to a recent study.
This is the first study to evaluate for PTSD after an elective surgery. This was very eye opening to me as it was off my radar and the findings are rather dramatic.
I see on a daily basis how spinal disorders and surgery can effect people's life.
Has anyone had any similar issues after a surgery?

Study from Spine Journal on Medicare patients shows chiropractic care to be safer than family practitioner care for seniors

Surprising how some of these journal studies showing benefit of chiropractic care can have such negative titles. Don't hear it as often as in the past, but still have family doctors and medical specialists sometimes warning patients about chiropractic care in spite of the fact that our treatment methods are significantly safer than their methods.
Here is a new study from the prestigious Spine Journal using the Medicare database for a whole year showing that patients aged 66-99 with an office visit risk for a neuromusculoskeletal problem, risk of injury to the head, neck or trunk within 7 days was 76% lower among subjects with a chiropractic office visit as compared to those who saw a primary care physician!
So this is evidence that we are a significantly safer treatment for older patients.

Weight Still Top Risk Factor for Knee Arthritis, Pain

25% of cases of onset of knee pain could be attributed to being either overweight or obese." This is one of the conclusions in a new systematic review and meta-analysis (studies that combines many research papers) of 46 previous studies. 
We know that each extra pound puts an average of 4 pounds on the knee joint with each step. So ten pounds increase this to 48,000 pounds per mile.
