Uneven Intervertebral Motion Sharing Is Related to Disc Degeneration and Is Greater in Patients With Chronic, Non-Specific Low Back Pain: An in Vivo, Cross-Sectional Cohort Comparison of Intervertebral Dynamics Using Quantitative Fluoroscopy Greater inequality and variability of motion sharing was found in patients with CNSLBP than in controls, confirming previous studies and suggesting a biomechanical […]
Beliefs in the Population About Cracking Sounds Produced During Spinal Manipulation Certain beliefs have documented adverse effects. This study showed a high prevalence of unfounded beliefs regarding spinal manipulation. These beliefs deserve greater attention from healthcare providers, particularly those who practice spinal manipulation. #science #chiropractor #chiropractic #research #education #evidence based #patient centered #interprofessional #collaborative #rehabilitation […]

Primary prevention in chiropractic practice: a systematic review More research efforts have been put into wellness than into prevention of musculoskeletal disorders or public health-related disorders. It therefore seems that parts of the chiropractic profession are in search of an understanding of various aspects of clinical practice over and above its traditional musculoskeletal role. Interestingly, […]
Interdisciplinary Practice Models for Older Adults With Back Pain: A Qualitative Evaluation Family medicine residents and doctors of chiropractic viewed collaborative care as a useful practice model for older adults with back pain. Health care organizations adopting medical and chiropractic collaboration can tailor this general model to their specific setting to support implementation. #science #chiropractor […]
Current and Prospective Use of Musculoskeletal Diagnostic Ultrasound Imaging at Chiropractic Teaching Institutions: A Worldwide Survey of Diagnostic Imaging Staff The current use of MSK-DUSI among chiropractic programs that responded to this survey is low.

Effects of Manual Therapy and Exercise Targeting the Hips in Patients With Low-Back pain-A Randomized Controlled Trial Our findings suggest that a prescriptive treatment of the hips may be of clinical value to individuals presenting with the primary complaint of mechanical LBP. #science #chiropractor #chiropractic #research #education #evidence based #patient centered #interprofessional #collaborative #rehabilitation #public […]
Effectiveness of Workplace Interventions in Return-to-Work for Musculoskeletal, Pain-Related and Mental Health Conditions: An Update of the Evidence and Messages for Practitioners We recommend implementing multi-domain interventions (i.e. with healthcare provision, service coordination, and work accommodation components) to help reduce lost time for MSK or pain-related conditions and MH conditions. Practitioners should also consider implementing […]
A Feasibility Study to Assess Vibration and Sound From Zygapophyseal Joints During Motion Before and After Spinal Manipulation Our findings indicated that a larger study is feasible. Other findings included that crepitus prevalence increased with age, was higher in participants with LBP than in healthy participants, and overall decreased after SMT. This study indicated that […]
Is orthopaedic manipulative physical therapy not fashionable anymore? Lessons learned from 2016 IFOMPT meeting and future directions Let us keep developing new learning and research venues to teach and assess the timing, dosage, benefits and cost-effectiveness of treatment strategies that merge education, OMPT and movement science. It is not one intervention but a combination of […]
Exercise and the Prevention of Depression: Results of the HUNT Cohort Study Regular leisure-time exercise of any intensity provides protection against future depression but not anxiety. Relatively modest changes in population levels of exercise may have important public mental health benefits and prevent a substantial number of new cases of depression. #science #chiropractor #chiropractic #research […]
Complementary and Integrative Medicine in the Management of Headache Spinal manipulation, chiropractic care, some supplements and botanicals, diet alteration, and hydrotherapy may also be beneficial in migraine headache. CIM has not been studied or it is not effective for cluster headache. Further research is needed to determine the most effective role for CIM in patients […]

The Hidden Impact of Musculoskeletal Disorders on the Americans. Continuing with the current status quo means accepting a steadily increasing toll of musculoskeletal disorders as the population grows and ages—a toll measured in healthcare costs, pain, disability, and lost productivity.Instead, investments across the spectrum of musculoskeletal diseases would pay off for all of these disorders […]

Opioids for Chronic Noncancer PainA Systematic Review and Meta-analysis In this meta-analysis of RCTs of patients with chronic noncancer pain, evidence from high-quality studies showed that opioid use was associated with statistically significant but small improvements in pain and physical functioning, and increased risk of vomiting compared with placebo. Comparisons of opioids with nonopioid alternatives […]
Fusion or Not for Degenerative Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review The present meta-analysis is the first to compare the efficacy of decompression alone and spinal fusion for the treatment of DLSS, including 5 RCTs. Our results demonstrate that additional fusion surgery seems unlikely to result in better outcomes for patients with DLSS, […]
Does the Application Site of Spinal Manipulative Therapy Alter Spinal Tissues Loading? Applying SMT with a constant force at different spinal levels creates different relative kinetics of the spinal segments and load spinal tissues in significantly different magnitudes. #science #chiropractor #chiropractic #research #education #evidence based #patient centered #interprofessional #collaborative #rehabilitation #public health #spinal health #musculoskeletal […]
Persistent and Developing Sleep Problems: A Prospective Cohort Study on the Relationship to Poor Outcome in Patients Attending a Pain Clinic With Chronic Low Back Pain Those with resolving sleep problems (ie, sleep problems present at baseline but not at follow-up) were at decreased odds for nonrecovery (OR 0.50) and pain intensity (0.49).
