Ablation of the basivertebral nerve for treatment of back pain: a clinical study. Ablation of the BVN for the treatment of chronic lumbar back pain significantly improves patients’ self-reported outcome early in the follow-up period; the improvement persisted throughout the…
Payer Type and Low-Value Care: Comparing Choosing Wisely Services across Commercial and Medicare Populations. Low-value care appears driven by factors unrelated to payer type or anticipated reimbursement. These findings suggest the influence of local practice patterns on care without meaningful…
Is this back pain killing me? All-cause and cardiovascular-specific mortality in older Danish twins with spinal pain. Older people reporting spinal pain have 13% increased risk of mortality per years lived but the connection is not causal. We found no…
Effect of Experimentally-Induced Trunk Muscular Tensions on the Sit-to-Stand Task Performance and Associated Postural Adjustments. Results showed that beyond a given level, higher muscular tension along the trunk results in longer APAs, but with a stable duration of the focal…
People With Chronic Neck Pain Walk With a Stiffer Spine. People with chronic neck pain walk with reduced trunk rotation, especially when challenged by walking with their head positioned in rotation. #science #chiropractor #chiropractic #research #education #evidence based #patient centered…
The Effectiveness of Manual Therapy Versus Surgery on Self-reported Function, Cervical Range of Motion, and Pinch Grip Force in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A Randomized Clinical Trial. Manual therapy and surgery had similar effectiveness for improving self-reported function, symptom severity, and…
Neck muscle fatigue differentially alters scapular and humeral kinematics during humeral elevation in subclinical neck pain participants versus healthy controls. SCNP contributed to altered scapular kinematics. Neck muscle fatigue influenced humeral kinematics in controls but not the SCNP group; suggesting…
Plantar Fasciitis: Will Physical Therapy Help My Foot Pain? The results of this study support prior studies that show faster recovery time for those who receive evidence-based physical therapy for their foot pain. #science #chiropractor #chiropractic #research #education #evidence based…
Procedure Selection and Patient Positioning Influence Spine Kinematics During High-Velocity, Low-Amplitude Spinal Manipulation Applied to the Low Back This investigation provides basic kinematic information for clinicians to understand the similarities and differences between 2 HVLA side-lying manipulations in the lumbar…
