Published online Oct 1, 2014. doi: 10.2174/1874325001408010326 Abstract The use of conventional modalities for chronic neck pain remains debatable, primarily because most treatments have had limited success. We conducted a review of the literature published up to December 2013 on the diagnostic and treatment modalities of disorders […]
By Garreth MacDonald, BSc, DC, CCST Dynamic Chiropractic – November 1, 2013, Vol. 31, Issue 21 There you are, treating a recent motor vehicle collision (MVC) patient, probably from a rear impact, and you are doing a marvelous job of documentation of your findings, treatment and outcomes.

R.A. Hauser The Open Rehabilitation Journal, 2013, 6, 1-20 Abstract: Ligament injuries are among the most common causes of musculoskeletal joint pain and disability encountered in primary practice today. Ligament injures create disruptions in the balance between joint mobility and joint stability, causing abnormal force transmission through the joint, which results in damage to other […]

Solomonow M. J Electromyogr Kinesiol. 2006 Dec;16(6):549-67. Epub 2006 Oct 11. Abstract The ligaments were considered, over several centuries, as the major restraints of the joints, keeping the associated bones in position and preventing instability, e.g. their separation from each other and/or mal-alignment. This project, conducted over 25 years, presents the following hypothesis: 1. Ligaments […]
Stemper BD, et al. J Biomech. 2005 Jun;38(6):1313-23. Abstract Although considerable biomechanical investigations have been conducted to understand the response of the cervical spine under whiplash (rear impact-induced postero-anterior loading to the thorax), studies delineating the effects of initial spinal curvature are limited. This study advanced the hypothesis that abnormal curvatures (straight or kyphotic) of […]
