The Best Massage Therapists in Los Angeles to Relieve Upper Back and Shoulder Pain From Heavy Breathing.

Evaluations of 187 temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients and 99 healthy controls revealed that TMD patients generally score lower on sleep quality assessments. However, further analysis showed that TMD patients with a history of whiplash tend to experience even greater sleep disturbances, which highlights the importance of seeking appropriate care following a car accident, slip and fall, or sports collision when a whiplash injury may have been sustained. Here at Massage Revolution and The Back & Neck Relief Center, our Neuromuscular Massage Therapists frequently treat patients suffering from whiplash and TMD with a high degree of patient satisfaction.

Past studies have shown that children of divorced parents are usually more likely to become divorced in adulthood, but why is that? Experts have speculated that this association is due to psychological and social factors, but a new study that included nearly 20,000 adoptees found that these individuals had a similar divorce rate as their biological parents but not their adoptive parents. Study author Dr. Jessica Salvatore notes her team’s findings suggest that “[the] reason that the offspring of divorced parents are more likely to get divorced has to do with the genes that parents and children share, rather than the experience of seeing [their] parents split up.”

Sudden cardiac arrest is described as the abrupt, unexpected loss of heart function, breathing, and consciousness, which usually results from an electrical disturbance in the heart that disrupts normal pumping action and blood flow to the rest of the body. An analysis of data from the Oregon Sudden Unexpected Death Study indicates that the risk of sudden cardiac arrest was 2.3 times greater for the individuals in the study who had the lowest blood calcium levels compared to those with the highest calcium levels. The research team says its findings should be interpreted with caution, and future research is needed to determine the relationship and to determine if controlling calcium levels can reduce the risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
