BY MALIK SLOSBERG, DC, MS Our understanding of the biomechanics and neurology of the subluxation continues to evolve as more research is published which helps explain the nature of this lesion. Historically, the subluxation has been at the heart of the identity and purpose of the chiropractic profession. Contemporary models provide new insights into this […]
JUNE 9, 2019 DRGRABER Not every patient responds the same to Chiropractic adjustments or high velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) spinal manipulation (SMT). That fact is obvious. However, there are some evidence-based patient characteristics that can predict who will respond better than others. Utilizing the research evidence on responsiveness characteristics to SMT can aid us in making […]
Nicholas Moser BMJ Open 2019;9:e025219. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2018-025219 Abstract Objective It is hypothesised that cervical manipulation may increase the risk of cerebrovascular accidents. We aimed to determine whether cervical spine manipulation is associated with changes in vertebral artery and cerebrovascular haemodynamics measured with MRI compared with neutral neck position and maximum neck rotation in patients with chronic neck pain. […]

Cost analysis related to dose-response of spinal manipulative therapy for chronic low back pain: outcomes from a randomized controlled trial. Vavrek DA, Sharma R, Haas M. Abstract OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this analysis is to report the incremental costs and benefits of different doses of spinal manipulative […]
Complement Ther Clin Pract. 2019 May;35:301-307. doi: 10.1016/j.ctcp.2019.03.013. Epub 2019 Mar 16. Manansala C Abstract BACKGROUND: The presence of spinal pain in young people has been established as a risk factor for spinal pain later in life. Recent clinical practice guidelines recommend spinal manipulation (SM), soft tissue therapy, acupuncture, and other modalities that are common […]
Journal of Integrative Medicine Available online 9 May 2019 GilesGyer Abstract Spinal manipulation has been an effective intervention for the management of various musculoskeletal disorders. However, the mechanisms underlying the pain modulatory effects of spinal manipulation remain elusive. Although both biomechanical and neurophysiological phenomena have been thought to play a role in the observed clinical […]
Published: Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2019 Volume:0 Issue:0 Pages:1–36 DOI: 10.2519/jospt.2019.8150 Study Design Multicenter randomized controlled trial. Background Thoracic spine thrust manipulation has been shown to improve patient-rated outcomes for individuals with neck pain. However, there is limited evidence for effectiveness in patients with cervical radiculopathy (CRAD). Objectives To compare the immediate […]
Pain Physician. 2019 Mar;22(2):E55-E70. Coulter ID. Abstract BACKGROUND: Mobilization and manipulation therapies are widely used by patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain; however, questions remain around efficacy, dosing, and safety, as well as how these approaches compare to other therapies. OBJECTIVES: Based on published trials, to determine the efficacy, effectiveness, and safety of various mobilization […]

Here’s what they said: “Manual therapy does not result in an increased risk of […]
The Journal of Pain Volume 20, Issue 4, Supplement, April 2019, Page S69 K.Webe Spinal manipulation (SM) is commonly used when managing patients with neck and back pain. The rationale regarding the use of SM has long been supported by the clinical opinion that a mechanical effect on the spine leads to therapeutic mechanical changes […]
Journal of Manipulative and Physio Adrian Levitsky, PhD Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical feasibility and effectiveness of manual mobilization of the hands of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods A total of 320 individual hand joints were evaluated after recruiting an experimental research group of 12 participants with […]
Fran Lowry March 19, 2019 DENVER — Chiropractic care for musculoskeletal pain is associated with a significant reduction in opioid prescriptions compared with non-chiropractic care in this patient population, new research suggests. In a new meta-analysis and systematic review, patients who visited a chiropractor for a musculoskeletal pain condition were 49% less likely to receive […]
