Nim, C.G., Kawchuk, G.N., Schiøttz-Christensen, B. et al. The effect on clinical outcomes when targeting spinal manipulation at stiffness or pain sensitivity: a randomized trial. Sci Rep 10, 14615 (2020). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-71557-y Abstract The mechanisms underlying pain relief following spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) are not understood fully although biomechanical and neurophysiological processes have been proposed. As […]
Shriya Joshi Chiropractic & Manual Therapies volume 28, Article number: 38 (2020) Abstract Background Cervicothoracic (CT) junction hypomobility has been proposed as a contributing factor for neck pain. However, there are limited studies that compared the effect of CT junction mobilization against an effective intervention in neck pain. Thoracic spine manipulation is a nonspecific intervention […]
How spinal adjusting may affect the neuroendocrine system – interview with researcher Dr. Kesava Some patient report better sleep, improved digestion, immune system improvements, reduced stress, reduced inflammation, and overall well-being following their chiropractic or osteopathic spinal manipulation adjustments. Dr. Pete Angerilli, chiropractor interviews researcher and clinician Dr. Kesava Kovanur Sampath discussing some of his […]
European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine, 2020; 7(1): 27-29 Eric Chun-Pu Chu, Divya Midhun Chakkaravarthy, Fa-Sain Lo, Amiya Bhaumik. Abstract Symptomatic disc herniation is the most common disc pathology and can result in substantial disability and poor quality of life. Here, we present a male patient who was diagnosed as having lumbar disc herniation […]
Stanley Innes, Amber Beynon, Christopher Hodgetts, Rachel Manassah, Denyse Lim & Bruce F. Walker Chiropractic & Manual Therapies volume 28, Article number: 39 (2020) Abstract Background There is some evidence and anecdotal reports that high-velocity low-amplitude (HVLA) spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) for non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) may immediately reduce pain in some patients. The […]

Andrea Buscemi Abstract Objectives Since 70’s, scientific research has analyzed how many acute and chronic issues can affect body systems. In case of depression, chronic pain and overtraining, centrals and peripherals systems act to manage and maintain body adaptations. The aim of this study is to […]

JBMT VOLUME 24, ISSUE 3, P 71-77, JULY 01, 2020 Alireza Motealleh Abstract Background Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a common musculoskeletal disorder. Quadriceps and core muscle neuromuscular control impairments are frequently associated with PFP. Lumbopelvic manipulation (LPM) has been shown to improve quadriceps and core muscle activation and decrease their inhibition, but changes in balance […]

Cureus 2020 Apr 15;12(4):e7682. doi: 10.7759/cureus.7682. Andrea Giacalone PMID: 32426194 PMCID: PMC7228797 DOI: 10.7759/cureus.7682 Abstract In manual therapy, high velocity low amplitude (HVLA) cervical manipulation techniques are frequently used, but often the physiological and biomechanical effects that can be obtained are not completely clear. The techniques are mostly used for the treatment of biomechanical joint […]
