Neurobiology of Disease Volume 39, Issue 3, September 2010, Pages 272–282 Doo C. Choi Abstract Here, we first demonstrated the neuroprotective effect of acupuncture after SCI. Acupuncture applied at two specific acupoints, Shuigou (GV26) and Yanglingquan (GB34) significantly alleviated apoptotic cell death of neurons and oligodendrocytes, thereby leading to improved functional recovery after SCI. Acupuncture […]
David S.H. Bell, MD Disclosures South Med J. 2010;103(3):265-267. ABSTRACT AND INTRODUCTION Abstract Chronic metformin use results in vitamin B12 deficiency in 30% of patients. Exhaustion of vitamin B12 stores usually occurs after twelve to fifteen years of absolute vitamin B12 deficiency. Metformin has been available in the United States for approximately fifteen years. Vitamin B12 […]
J Alzheimers Dis. 2009;16(1):85-91. doi: 10.3233/JAD-2009-0920. Eskelinen MH Abstract Caffeine stimulates central nervous system on a short term. However, the long-term impact of caffeine on cognition remains unclear. We aimed to study the association between coffee and/or tea consumption at midlife and dementia/Alzheimer’s disease (AD) risk in late-life. Participants of the Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging […]

J Chiropr Med. 2008 Sep;7(3):86-93. doi: 10.1016/j.jcm.2008.04.001. Welch A, Boone R. Abstract OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study were to investigate the response of the autonomic nervous system based upon the area of the spine adjusted and to determine if a cervical adjustment elicits a parasympathetic response and if a thoracic adjustment elicits a sympathetic response. METHODS: […]

Solomonow M. J Electromyogr Kinesiol. 2006 Dec;16(6):549-67. Epub 2006 Oct 11. Abstract The ligaments were considered, over several centuries, as the major restraints of the joints, keeping the associated bones in position and preventing instability, e.g. their separation from each other and/or mal-alignment. This project, conducted over 25 years, presents the following hypothesis: 1. Ligaments […]

JMPT June 2004 Volume 27, Issue 5, Pages 314–326 Robert W Boal, PhD Abstract Objective Recent experimental evidence demonstrating neuronal/synaptic plasticity and, in particular, long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) in spinal neurons is reviewed. The implications of these studies for possible mechanistic explanations of low back pain and its remediation by spinal manipulative […]
Raoul S,et al. Surg Radiol Anat. 2003 Feb;24(6):366-71. Epub 2003 Feb 5. Abstract Low back pain is frequent and results in major disability for patients.

Joel G Pickar, DC, PhD The Spine Journal Volume 2, Issue 5, September–October 2002, Pages 357–371 Abstract Background context: Despite clinical evidence for the benefits of spinal maniputation and the apparent wide usage of it, the biological mechanisms underlying the effects of spinal manipulation are not known. Although this does not negate the clinical effects […]
