Savva C, et al. J Back Musculoskelet Rehabil. 2014. Abstract BACKGROUND: Although the antinociceptive effect of high-velocity, low amplitude thrust manipulation (HVLAM) has been recognized by numerous systematic reviews, the underlying mechanism for manipulation-related pain relief remains poorly understood. An increasing number of studies have explored its analgesic mechanism suggesting that the excitation of the […]

Melissa Ferranti, DC Topics in Integrative Health Care 2014, Vol. 5(3) ID: 5.3005 Introduction: While chiropractic care is often associated with the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, there are other, non-musculoskeletal conditions which may benefit from spinal manipulation (SM). This paper reports on the return of hearing in a woman treated with chiropractic adjustments after 8 […]
