BY MALIK SLOSBERG, DC, MS Our understanding of the biomechanics and neurology of the subluxation continues to evolve as more research is published which helps explain the nature of this lesion. Historically, the subluxation has been at the heart of the identity and purpose of the chiropractic profession. Contemporary models provide new insights into this […]
JUNE 9, 2019 DRGRABER Not every patient responds the same to Chiropractic adjustments or high velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) spinal manipulation (SMT). That fact is obvious. However, there are some evidence-based patient characteristics that can predict who will respond better than others. Utilizing the research evidence on responsiveness characteristics to SMT can aid us in making […]
Nicholas Moser BMJ Open 2019;9:e025219. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2018-025219 Abstract Objective It is hypothesised that cervical manipulation may increase the risk of cerebrovascular accidents. We aimed to determine whether cervical spine manipulation is associated with changes in vertebral artery and cerebrovascular haemodynamics measured with MRI compared with neutral neck position and maximum neck rotation in patients with chronic neck pain. […]

Journal of Integrative Medicine Available online 9 May 2019 GilesGyer Abstract Spinal manipulation has been an effective intervention for the management of various musculoskeletal disorders. However, the mechanisms underlying the pain modulatory effects of spinal manipulation remain elusive. Although both biomechanical and neurophysiological phenomena have been thought to play a role in the observed clinical […]

However, there is limited evidence for effectiveness in patients with cervical radiculopathy (CRAD). Objectives To compare the immediate […]
Pain Physician. 2019 Mar;22(2):E55-E70. Coulter ID. Abstract BACKGROUND: Mobilization and manipulation therapies are widely used by patients with chronic nonspecific neck pain; however, questions remain around efficacy, dosing, and safety, as well as how these approaches compare to other therapies. OBJECTIVES: Based on published trials, to determine the efficacy, effectiveness, and safety of various mobilization […]
