Immediate Effects of Thoracic Spinal Manipulation on Pulmonary Function in Stroke Patients: A Preliminary Study The pulmonary function values for patients in the TSM group were significantly enhanced with no significant improvement in maximum voluntary ventilation and residual volume. Mechanical…
Beneficial Intervertebral Disc and Muscle Adaptations in High-Volume Road Cyclists Despite previous studies reporting higher than average prevalence of back pain in cyclists, the high-volume road cyclists in our cohort showed no anatomical or functional deficiency in spinal structures. By…
Psychological Factors and the Development of Chronic Whiplash-associated Disorder(s): A Systematic Review Poor expectations of recovery, posttraumatic stress symptoms and passive coping emerged as the most consistent prognostic factors of chronic neck pain and/or disability after a whiplash injury. Anxiety,…
Do People With Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain Have Impaired Motor Imagery?

The potential dangers of neck manipulation & risk for dissection and devastating stroke: An illustrative case & review of the literature High velocity thrust manipulation of the cervical spine places the carotid and vertebral arteries at risk of dissection. Even…
Disruptions of Awake Glutamate Signaling in Two Models of Migraine Glutamate imaging confirms the FHM2 mutation alters glutamate signaling during cortical processing and uncovers a non‐canonical form of glutamate release in FHM2 and CSD. The occurrence of plumes in both…
Spontaneous cervical artery dissection: a fluoroquinolone induced connective tissue disorder? A causal relationship of fluoroquinolone antibiotics to cervical artery dissection is plausible. The suppositions developed in this paper are insufficient to suggest that fluoroquinolones currently represent an established risk factor…
