NeuroImage: Clinical Volume 24, 2019, 102042 Kenneth A.Weber II Highlights • The use of brain-based models of pain were explored in two clinical studies. • Neurologic pain signature activation decreased following spinal manipulation. • Spinal manipulation altered the processing of pain-related brain activity. • We provide evidence for a centrally mediated therapeutic action of spinal […]
Jesse Cooper Chiropractic & Manual Therapies volume 27, Article number: 41 (2019) Abstract Background Spinal epidural hematoma is a rare condition usually secondary to trauma and coagulopathy. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first case of a patient with an iatrogenic hypercoaguable state performing self-neck manipulation, which resulted in a spinal epidural […]

J., vol.13, p.0, 2015 Abstract Introduction: Neck pain is one of the major problems managed by chiropractors, therefore its common the use of spinal manipulation to manage this problem. Objective: To evaluate the influence of Cervical Spine Manipulation (CSM) in the Neck Disability Index (NDI) of patients […]
Published: Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2019 Volume:49 Issue:10 Pages:688–697 DOI: 10.2519/jospt.2019.8578 Background Manual therapy interventions targeting the neck include various positions and movements of the craniocervical region. The hemodynamic changes in various spinal positions potentially have clinical relevance. Objectives To investigate the effects of craniocervical positions and movements on hemodynamic parameters (blood flow velocity and/or volume) of cervical […]
Isr Med Assoc J. 2019 Aug;21(8):542-545. Salame K Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, Tel Aviv, Israel. Abstract Spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) is commonly used as an effective therapeutic modality for a range of cervical symptoms. However, in rare cases, cervical manipulation may be associated with complications. In this review we present […]

US Department of Health and Human Services National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health Pain is the most common reason for seeking medical care. It is also a common reason why people turn to complementary health approaches. This 47-page eBook provides an overview of complementary health approaches for pain, including acupuncture, massage therapy, meditation, spinal […]
Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies Published online: June 13, 2019 Danielle de Faria Alvim de Toledo Abstract The impact of high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) manipulations on the behavior of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) mobility in individuals submitted to an osteopathic intervention has not been sufficiently investigated. Furthermore, there is no standard agreement on the description of […]
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. […]
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 […]
