Changes in H-reflex and V-waves Following Spinal Manipulation Spinal manipulation appears to prevent fatigue developed during maximal contractions. Spinal manipulation appears to alter the net excitability of the low-threshold motor units, increase cortical drive, and prevent fatigue. #science #chiropractor #chiropractic…
The Role of Ultrasound in Diagnosis of the Causes of Low Back Pain: A Review of the Literature While the first researches on employing ultrasound in diagnosis of patients with LBP had been focused on spinal canal diameter, recent studies…
Interventions for Preventing and Treating Low-Back and Pelvic Pain During Pregnancy There is low-quality evidence that exercise (any exercise on land or in water), may reduce pregnancy-related low-back pain and moderate- to low-quality evidence suggesting that any exercise improves functional…
A Test-Retest Reliability Study of the Whiplash Disability Questionnaire in Patients With Acute Whiplash-Associated Disorders The WDQ was reliable in individuals with acute WAD. There is 95% confidence that a change of approximately one-sixth of the total score is beyond…
[A Randomized Controlled Trials on Treatment of Cervicogenic Sudden Hearing Loss With Chiropractic] Compared with routine method for cervicogenic sudden hearing loss, additional chiropractic can improve hearing and relieve neck pain effectively. #science #chiropractor #chiropractic #research #education #evidence based #patient…
Effect of Long-Term Isometric Training on Core/Torso Stiffness Active stiffness did not change in any group. Comparisons between subject and training groups did not reveal any interactions. Thus, an isometric training approach was superior in terms of enhancing core stiffness.…
Relationship Between Chiropractic Teaching Institutions and Practice Characteristics Among Canadian Doctors of Chiropractic: A Random Sample Survey Chiropractic program attended is a significant predictor of orthodox vs unorthodox faction membership and professional practice characteristics for Canadian DCs. This suggests that…
Experimental Reduction of Pain Catastrophizing Modulates Pain Report but Not Spinal Nociception as Verified by Mediation Analyses These results indicate that reductions in catastrophizing lead to reductions in pain perception but do not modulate spinal nociception and provides further evidence…
Stanford researchers develop microscope that allows first-ever look at live muscle units in action The wearable microscope allows precise measurements of sarcomere lengths and contractile dynamics in alert humans. Unlike traditional endoscopy, which is well suited for imaging in natural…
Stretching Impacts Inflammation Resolution in Connective Tissue These results demonstrate a direct mechanical impact of stretching on inflammation-regulation mechanisms within connective tissue. #science #chiropractor #chiropractic #research #education #evidence based #patient centered #interprofessional #collaborative #rehabilitation #public health #spinal health #musculoskeletal health…
