Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is known to cause low back pain, but diagnosing can be hard for some doctors. Especially those that do not have a great deal of experience in sacroiliac joint pain. However, chiropractors specialize in this area as the SI joint is an important part of the musculoskeletal system. SI joint dysfunction and pain can involve one or both… Read More
Excitotoxicity is characterized as an acute insult which causes nerve cell death due to the excessive activation of iGluRs. Acute excitotoxicity plays a fundamental role in a variety of central nervous system (CNS) health issues, including cerebral ischemia, TBI, and status epilepticus. The mechanisms for acute excitotoxicity are different for every health issue. With brain ischemia, L-glutamate-associated and… Read More

Previous research studies suggest that L-aspartate, like L-glutamate, triggers excitatory activity on neurons. L-aspartate functions with L-glutamate in the synaptic vesicles of asymmetric excitatory synapses. But, the total concentration of these in the human brain (0.96-1.62 ?mol/gram wet weight), their extracellular concentrations in the cortex as measured by microdialysis (1.62 ?M for L-aspartate and 9.06 ?M for L-glutamate) and their… Read More
The term excitotoxicity was first employed to demonstrate the capability of L-glutamate, in addition to structurally-associated amino acids, to destroy nerve cells, a process which has been suggested to occur in acute and chronic health issues of the central nervous system (CNS). Excitotoxicity is caused by the excess stimulation of iGluRs into a characteristic loss of cell bodies and dendrites… Read More

Sciatica doesn’t have to prevent you from being able to travel. Sometimes a journey can create a series of challenges for people with sciatic nerve pain in the low back and leg. A common issue among individuals is to prevent sciatica from flaring up when on the road or in the air. A solution for this is to find ways… Read More
L-glutamate is one of the main excitatory neurotransmitters in the human brain and it plays an essential role in practically all activities of the nervous system. In the following article, we will discuss the general principles of L-glutamate signaling in the brain. Then, we will demonstrate this scheme by describing the different pools of extracellular glutamate, including the synaptic, the… Read More
Myofascial syndrome, what is it? You're probably thinking I don't have that, but more than likely, you have. Myo means muscle and fascia refer to the tissue bands that cover and connect the muscles/organs. Tightness Twitching areas Painful knots In the neck/back, then myofascial pain syndrome could be the cause. Myofascial syndrome is a very common condition. It affects about… Read More
For people who love drinking diet sodas, recent research studies have found that diet drinks can increase the risk of stroke and dementia. Although diet drinks have been previously advertised as a much more healthier, low-calorie alternative than regular carbonated drinks, a closer look at the results of these recent research studies ultimately suggests otherwise. One research study,… Read More
