More good news concerning exercise. Current federal exercise guidelines show that only 150 minutes of exercise per week can confer large health benefits. Unfortunately only 1 out of 10 older Americans with knee arthritis meet these guidelines.
Now a recent study from Northwestern Medical shows that only 45 minutes of exercise per week will keep an older person with knee arthritis functional, and it does not even have to be done in at least 10 minutes blocks of time.
So if you are in this category, just do a little more exercise like walking or activities that you enjoy and it significantly help with the knee arthritis.
Anyone have improvements with knee arthritis from exercise?

Good to see the Congress can sometimes get together and pass beneficial legislation. Recently the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 921, the Sports Medicine Licensure Clarity Act. The bill, passed unanimously by the House on Sept. 12, ensures that sports medicine professionals are properly covered by their malpractice insurance while traveling with athletic teams to another state.
As all professional football teams, as well as 28 of the 30 major league baseball clubs, have a doctor of chiropractic as part of their medical training staff this will also benefit my profession who works in sports medicine.

Pentagon to conduct a study on the feasibility of providing chiropractic services to military retirees.
The American Chiropractic Association recently announced that a new bill authorizes funding for a provision directing the Pentagon to conduct a study on the feasibility of providing chiropractic services to military retirees.
Currently military personnel have no chiropractic insurance benefits.
Do you think this should be changed?
