A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Different Sites of High-velocity Low Amplitude Thrust on Sensorimotor Integration Parameters

1w ago
Chiro.Org Blog: This randomized controlled trial was the first to investigate the immediate changes in response to an HVLA thrust site selection in the cervical spine using a neurophysiological EEG outcome measure and found evidence that HVLA thrust directed at a cervical site considered as dysfunctional significantly reduces N30 amplitude immediately after such intervention. In contrast, HVLA thrust directed at a cervical site considered as non-dysfunctional causes no significant change. The present findings suggest that clinicians' selection of where to apply cervical HVLA thrust is likely t ..read more

Association Between Spinal Manipulative Therapy and Lumbar Spine Reoperation After Discectomy: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Chiropractic Resource Organization Blog
by Frank M. Painter
1M ago
Chiro.Org Blog: This study found that adults receiving SMT for LSR at least one year after lumbar discectomy were less likely to undergo lumbar spine reoperation compared to those receiving usual care without SMT, a difference which persisted over two years’ follow-up. These findings highlight the potential role of SMT in reducing the likelihood of additional surgery in this patient population. However, prospective studies are needed to validate our findings and concurrently examine changes in pain, disability, and safety among those receiving SMT after discectomy ..read more

Clinical Indicators for Recommending Continued Care to Patients with Neck Pain in Chiropractic Practice: A Cohort Study

by Frank M. Painter
3M ago
Chiro.Org Blog: The clinical indicators for recommending continued care to patients with neck pain in chiropractic practice differ from those used when recommending MC to patients with low back pain. We found that the strongest clinical indicator for the chiropractor to recommend continued care was a long duration of neck pain. None of the included chiropractor characteristics had a significant impact on this recommendation. Only 39% of patients presenting with previous neck pain episodes, a history of long neck pain duration and improvement four weeks after initial treatment had an appointmen ..read more

Chiro.Org Blog: The Workers Compensation Research Institute (WCRI) is an independent, not-for-profit research organization based in Cambridge, MA. Organized in late 1983, the Institute does not take positions on the issues it researches; rather, it provides information obtained through studies and data collection efforts, which conform to recognized scientific methods. Objectivity is further ensured through rigorous, unbiased peer review procedures. WCRI's diverse membership includes employers; insurers; governmental entities; managed care companies; health care providers; insurance regulators ..read more

3M ago
Chiro.Org Blog: These forms represent a more comprehensive musculoskeletal assessment of pediatric patients from infancy through adolescence with a goal to ensure safe and effective management. The implementation of these forms should not only raise competence of practitioners, but with widespread use, enable data collection on a large scale for future research. The forms are also to serve as an outline for a postgraduate pediatric education in musculoskeletal health. The work to provide these clinical exam forms is to elevate the safety and quality of care provided by chiropractors to infants ..read more

Joint Assessment – P.A.R.T.S.
Chiropractic Resource Organization Blog

4M ago
Chiro.Org Blog: Doctors of chiropractic are portals of entry to the health care system for many patients seeking health care services. As such, they must maintain broad and thorough assessment/diagnostic skills. Before employing any therapy, a clinician must first determine if there is a need for treatment. Therefore, the clinical information that any primary contact provider would want, including a case history, physical examination, clinical laboratory findings, radiographic findings, and any other tests necessary to check for suspected health problems, is needed. Having gathered and interpr ..read more

The Association Between Cervical Degenerative MRI Findings and Self-reported Neck Pain, Disability and Headache: A Cross-sectional Exploratory Study
Chiropractic Resource Organization Blog
by Frank M. Painter
5M ago
Chiro.Org Blog: Overall, very few studies have investigated the association between cervical degenerative MRI findings and clinical symptoms. A systematic review from 2019 [13] investigated the presence of cervical MRI findings in patients with NP compared to pain-free controls and found, based on two studies, no differences in terms of disc degeneration between people with chronic non-specific NP and pain-free controls. [10, 27] One of the studies [10] also examined disc contour changes and found that disc herniation (but not disc protrusion) was associated with NP, although this was based on ..read more

Effect of Intensive Patient Education vs Placebo Patient Education on Outcomes in Patients With Acute Low Back Pain: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Chiropractic Resource Organization Blog
by Frank M. Painter
9M ago
Chiro.Org Blog: Patients who are at high risk of pain chronicity may require additional care, including second-line options such as physical (eg, spinal manipulation) and/or psychological therapies (eg, psychologically informed physiotherapy). [6] However, most trials that have evaluated adding second-line treatment options to standard guideline care for patients with acute low back pain have failed to demonstrate effectiveness compared with placebo (eg, addition of spinal manipulation, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or both [9]; addition of structured exercises [10]; and addition of ac ..read more
