Finding time to exercise is not just a recommendation

from Dr. Susan Carter, it is a prescription.

Carter, gynecologist at Banner Health Clinic in Greeley, has a unique care philosophy that “exercise

is medicine.” Providing her patients with a whole body approach for healing, Carter integrates exercise as part of disease preven-tion and rehabilitation.

One form of exer-cise that is on the top of Carter’s list is the largest branded fitness program in the world: Zumba. Zumba classes combine

rhythms from various world dance styles into a low-impact fitness routine designed to burn calo-ries, tone and strengthen muscle, and improve cardiovascular health.

Latin-inspired, high-energy music is the motivational ingredient in the success of Zumba. More than 12 million

people of all ages are taking weekly classes at 110,000 locations in more than 125 countries around the world, according to Zumba.com.

A lifelong exercise enthusiast, Carter has recently added Zumba to her long list of activities within the past two years. As a former runner, mogul

skier, roller skater and hockey player, Carter is no stranger to trying new forms of fitness. But five years ago, she developed osteoarthritis, a common form of arthritis that oc-curs when cartilage in the joint is worn down over time.

Because of osteoarthri-tis, Carter underwent a hip replacement surgery and chose a ceramic implant instead of a titanium option due to the longer life span of the ceramic. However, this choice brought exercise limita-tion. The ceramic implant is susceptible to breaking if she would fall, and could loosen if she continued running. Faced with find-ing a new form of exercise, she chose Zumba and found it to be an excellent source of rehabilitation for her hip.

Not only has she participated in Zumba

for almost two years, she has also become a certi-fied instructor. Carter has also married her world of medicine with her exer-cise by writing two papers illustrating the benefits of Zumba as rehabilitation for surgery and for cancer patients. She will present this information at the International Convention on Science, Exercise, and Medicine in Sport in July in Glasgow, Scotland.

The nature of Zumba and its dance moves is a form of exercise that helps maintain healthy bones by using different muscles in the body without affect-ing the joints. Dancing in general strengthens the bones and muscles in the legs and hips, lowers the risk of heart disease and aids in weight loss.

Banner Health.

Staff reports

Dr. Trenton Scott of Loveland’s Scott Family Health, a chiroprac-tic, acupuncture, physical therapy and massage clinic, will be fea-tured in an upcoming issue of Northern Colorado Medical and Wellness magazine.

The article, “Pregnancy Advice from the Experts” written by Co-rey Radman, a regular contribu-tor to Style Magazine, discusses relieving back pain with chiro-practic care during pregnancy.

Scott explains in the article that gentle chiropractic adjustments can help resolve the lower back

pain that many expectant moth-ers experience during weeks 25-32. He also discusses the benefits of pairing adjustments with mas-sages.

“Somewhere around 50 per-cent of all pregnant women will experience prolonged back pain, but I think a majority of those can be prevented,” Scott said in a news release.

Scott published a book in 2008, “The Other Side of Pregnancy,” which also discusses the use of chiropractics during pregnancy. He is also the official chiroprac-tor to the Colorado Eagles and the Colorado Ice teams.

You are what you eat. And what you eat can hurt you — literally.

Recent surveys have found a direct association between obesity and pain levels. A survey of more than 1 million people in the United States in February by the Gallup Organization called the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index asked questions about height and weight, as well as pain conditions.

Surprisingly, there was a large correlation between weight and the amount of pain that people were in. The group of participants who were overweight reported 20 percent higher rates of pain than the Low-Normal weight group.

Weight was graded per BMI —

into one of three obesity levels as defined by the World Health Or-ganization. A normal weight was defined as a BMI under 25; over-weight, a BMI of 25-30; obese I, 30-35; obese II, 35-40; and obese III, 40 and above.

For the obese group, the pain perception was 68 percent higher. As the weight increased, so did pain. For the obese II and obese III groups, the pain was proportion-ately 136 percent higher and 254 percent higher than the normal groups. For example, 20 percent of females with normal weight re-ported daily pain, but nearly 50 percent of obese III women were in daily pain.

The increased pain with in-creased weight correlation held true for both men and women, and as people aged, the pain/obesity

correlation worsened. The study controlled for other pain condi-tions, and still found a robust as-sociation of obesity with pain. Ad-ditionally, the rates of pain were higher in obese women than obese men, with the gender difference widening as the BMI increased.

The survey seems to strongly suggest that obesity alone is a con-dition that may cause pain, even without the presence of other pain-ful diseases. This could be due to complex metabolic pathways set up in the body due to obesity that are pro-inflammatory.

Thus, if you are in chronic pain, with or without another chronic condition, it may be beneficial to focus on weight loss as a means of reducing the pain. You may very well be having pain from obesity itself.

Losing weight may ease pain

ROOSEVELT PITCHER MASON REINICK delivers a pitch to an Eaton batter while playing in Johnstown this season. Young baseball athletes are at high risk to have injuries in their shoulders and arms.

By Meagan [email protected]

F or competitive youth athletes who experience pain in their shoulders or elbows, “suck-

ing it up” might not be the best advice.

“Anybody that is involved in a throwing sport is at risk for shoul-der and elbow injury,” said Dr. Daniel Heaston, an orthopedist at Banner Mountain Vista Orthopae-dics Medical Clinic in Greeley. “A lot of that has to do with the force it takes to get velocity to throw is the same force it takes to pull on ligaments, tendons and bones and cause injury.”

Heaston, who is also a team physician for University of Northern Colorado athletics, said it is impor-tant for young athletes to take care of themselves and understand risks involved with injuries.

“Most of the patients that have overuse injuries in college started having pain when they were in high school,” Heaston said. “Mostly nowadays, coaches and families are more aware of pitching and throw-ing limitations. We don’t see as advanced injuries as we have in the past.”

Roosevelt High School baseball coach Alan Gibson said in his 10 years of coaching he has focused on preventing these types of injuries with his players by doing several things.

“First of all, we make sure we

start out slow and try to build their pitch counts up, instead of going all out all at once,” he said. “To start out with something that is easily man-ageable and not damage anything.”

Gibson said they also stick to an eight inning rule, meaning eight innings a week is the most a pitcher can throw — whether it is broken up throughout the week or all in one game.

The third thing Gibson said they stress to their players and to youth coaches is to steer clear of breaking balls.

“We focus on different types of pitches that are less strenuous on

the elbows,” Gibson said. “It is really important for the kids before they get to us at the high school to realize that the breaking balls especially are not necessary on those young arms. That is probably the most damaging thing they can do to their arms be-fore those growth plates are closed.”

Instead of teaching a curveball, Gibson said coaches should teach varying speeds and grips of the ball.

Heaston agrees and said that overuse and incorrect technique can each cause injuries.

“If you are too young, and you are learning how to throw sliders or dif-ferent type of pitches, side arm stuff, and your technique is not right, you can stress your shoulder more and that leads to more problems,” Heaston said.

Heaston added that the best thing young athletes can do is listen to their bodies.

“If throwing starts to hurt, they need to back off right away and give it time to settle down, and if it’s not settling down they need to see somebody about it,” he said. “It’s not a pain you want to fight through. When you are throwing, and you have pain associated with throwing, fighting through it makes it worse.”

Not addressing the issue can cause permanent damage but Heaston said the vast majority of athletes who give the injury time to

heal are able to return to competi-tion at a high level. If an injury is left untreated and requires surgery, Heaston said, 50 percent of athletes

are able to regain their competitive level post surgery.

In addition to responding to pains in the shoulder and elbow, Heaston said another thing youth athletes can do to help prevent in-juries is cross train and try different sports.

“Things that are keeping them ac-tive but not stressing their shoulder with throwing sports,” Heaston said. “I’ve seen kids that want to be com-petitive so they are in year-round leagues where they are throwing the whole year, and they are at significantly higher risk for overuse injuries.”

Gibson said this is something he believes in, as well.

“One of the good things we have is we don’t have a lot of kids that focus just on baseball,” Gibson said. “They are also participating in foot-ball, wrestling, cross country and all of our sports, so overuse hasn’t been an issue for us.”

When it comes down to it, only the athletes know how they feel, but parents and coaches can be aware of what is going on, Heaston said.

“There are subtle things they can notice in their kids,” Heaston said. “If they seem to be not doing things they normally would do with their arm because they are favoring it, like keeping their arm at the side instead of reaching out. The kids are going to do what they do, but the parents and coaches have to be aware of it and know when to say when.”

PAYING FOR THE PAIN

There are several online resources about preventing injuries for parents of youth athletes. Dr. Daniel Heaston, an orthopedist at Banner Mountain Vista Ortho-paedics Medical Clinic in Greeley, recommended the American Sports Medicine Institute guidelines at www.asmi.org. The site includes frequently asked questions on pitch count, as well as post-pitching stretches that can help young arms.

THRIVEnc n April 25, 20128 n HEALTH

Los Angeles Times

For the young, regret over poor choices or missed op-portunities can be a powerful carrot: It sparks reappraisal, accelerates learning and mo-tivates change. In the old, re-gret appears to be no better than a stick — a stern remind-er of poor choices, lost powers and our short time remaining on earth. So what’s the key to happy old age? Don’t lunge after the carrot and you won’t get hit by the stick.

A new study finds that how we deal with foregone options and lost opportunities makes a huge difference in whether we will grow into happy se-

niors or succumb to late-life depression. Reporting their findings in Science magazine, German researchers found that in repetitive games of chance, when healthy young adults pay a price for a wrong decision, they shift their strat-egies accordingly in the next round. If their caution lost them a big payoff, they’ll be bolder in the next game; if they risked too much and came up empty-handed, they’ll become more cautious the next time around.

Their response to regret is to act on it. And their physio-logical response to that regret was active, too: Their heart rates increased and their skin

became clammy.Among older subjects (a

total of 40 adults with average age of 65), the 20 who had ex-perienced late-life depression (defined as a first episode of depression after age 55) were far more likely to respond to regret in the same way a healthy young person would.

The emotionally healthy older adults, however, were like Zen masters in the face of regret: Whether they went all in and lost or held and lost had no bearing on how they played the next game. Their palms stayed dry and their hearts did not race.

When researchers used fMRI scanners to peer into

their subjects’ brains as they played, they saw a similar pattern, in which the older depressed adults reacted to regret in the same way a healthy young person would. Among the mentally healthy young and the depressed old subjects, the brain’s ventral striatum — a region associat-ed with valuation of costs and rewards — became equally active under two conditions: when they gambled and lost everything, and when they learned their choice had won them less than the maximum possible.

The ventral striatum in mentally healthy older sub-jects responded to outright

loss of “winnings” with great activation. But it did not light up when the happy older adults discovered they might have won more.

And the happy older sub-jects had one more brain quirk going for them that youths and the depressed older adults did not: When-ever regret was evident, the anterior cingulate cortex — a key hub for communica-tion between emotions and rational decision-making — came alive in the happy older adults. This region’s activation meant that older adults were actively overriding their re-grets with rationalization, the

researchers surmised. Sub-jects may have been absolving themselves of regret, telling themselves that because out-comes were random, or the experimenters were in con-trol, their decisions were not to blame for their losses.

Had depressed older adults simply made more poor deci-sions, leading to more regret? Or did their tendency to blame themselves more for their losses make them de-pressed? This study doesn’t answer that. But it does sug-gest that while dwelling on regret may serve us well in youth, doing so as we age will just make us unhappy.
