  OK, we are back and you have found the Chiropractic Forward Podcast where we are making evidence-based chiropractic fun, profitable, and accessible while we make you and your patients better all the way around.    We’re the fun kind of research. Not the stuffy, high-brow, look down your nose at people kind of research. We’re research talk over a couple of beers. I’m Dr. Jeff Williams and I’m your host for the Chiropractic Forward podcast.   If you haven’t yet I have a few things you should do. 

• Go to Amazon and check our my book called The Remarkable Truth About Chiropractic: A Unique Journey Into The Research. It’s excellent educational resource for you AND your patients. It saves you time putting talks together or just staying current on research. It’s categorized into sections so the information is easy to find and written in a way that is easy to understand for everyone. It’s on Amazon. That’s the Remarkable Truth About Chiropractic by Jeff Williams. 


• Then go Like our Chiropractic Forward Facebook page, 


• Join our private Chiropractic Forward Facebook group, and then 


• Review our podcast on whatever platform you’re listening to 


• Last thing real quick, we also have an evidence-based brochure and poster store at chiropracticforward.com

You have found yourself smack dab in the middle of Episode #248 Now if you missed last week’s episode, we were joined by the one and only, my friend, Dr. Jay Greenstein and man…..what a great episode. Make sure you don’t miss that info. Keep up with the class. 

On the personal end of things…..

First, hey, I’m hiring. I need an asscoiate. Seriously, if you go to work for a franchise people, honest talk here…..you have a cap in salary. You will adjust all day every day and on the weekends. You will work your butt straight off and you’ll never get paid more.  At a private practice, like mine for example, you’re not going to have a cap. Once your prove yourself and you’re helping build the clinic, you will get paid without a cap.

You get paid for the work and effort you put in. If you want to work your tail straight off and not get paid what you’re worth, I’m not the right call for you.  If you want to work but get mentored by an ortho and forensics diplomate, play a part in this podcast, and set yourself apart from the parts of the profession you don’t like….oh….and get paid for your efforts with a potential buyout down the road, then I am exactly the guy you want to speak with.  If you think Amarillo is a great place to live and raise a family, which it absolutely is, send me an email at creekstonecare@gmail.com I want to meet you. Doesn’t matter when you hear this episode.

I’m always looking for top talent and I know if you’re listening to this podcast then you are indeed top talent. Next thing, go to https://www.tecnobody.com/en/products That’s Tecnobody as in T-E-C-nobody. They literally have the most impressive clinical equipment I’ve ever seen. I own the ISO Free and am looking to add more to my office this year or next. The equipment you’re going to find over there can be marketed in your community like crazy because you’ll be the only one with something that damn cool in your office. 

When you decide you can’t live without those products, send me an email and I’ll give you the hookup. They will 100% differentiate your clinic from your competitors. Second, we just got back from Vegas. I try take at least one short trip every quarter. Sometimes more. Sometimes less but we have to get out of the clinic.  Certainly after you’ve built and you’re on the way. It’s the only way you stay sane. I’m not telling you to close down the clinic and go to Europe for a month as a solo doc. Just a long weekend here and there. It’ll keep you likable. We saw Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison, and Joan Jett and it was a great. Just what we needed. I have to admit that I’m still on a bit of a buzz from having Jay Greenstein join me on the show last week. What a freaking gem that guy is. Don’t miss that episode. For any reason. I think that’ll be quite enough of rambling from me. Let’s get it started

Item #1

The first one is called “Association of Daily Step Count and Intensity With Incident Dementia in 78 430 Adults Living in the UK” by del Pozo Cruz, et. al. (del Pozo Cruz B 2022) and published in JAMA on September 6, 2022. Pow! Hottern’ a firecracker!

Why They Did It

The authors wanted to find out if there is a dose-response association of daily step count and intensity with incidence of all-cause dementia among adults living in the UK?

How They Did It

• UK Biobank prospective population-based cohort study with 6.9 years of follow-up. 


• A total of 78,430 of 103,684 eligible adults aged 40 to 79 years with valid wrist accelerometer data were included. 


• Registry-based dementia was ascertained through October 2021.

What They Found

• This cohort study of adults assessed with wrist-worn accelerometers found that accruing more steps per day was associated with steady declines in dementia incidence risk, up to 9800 steps per day, beyond which the benefits upturned. 


• The dose associated with 50% of maximal observed benefit was 3800 steps per day, and steps at higher intensity (cadence) were associated with lower incidence risk.

Wrap It Up

The findings in this study suggest that accumulating more steps per day just under the popular threshold of 10 000 steps per day and performing steps at higher intensity may be associated with lower risk of dementia onset.
