Our
San Jose chiropractic patients ask
“why”! Why do I suffer with back pain?Why does back pain keep
coming back? Excellent
questions that may oftentimes be clarified with
examination findings that line up with research-documented
findings. Research can help explain that, and Chiropractic Solutions
works to keep on top of the latest (with a healthy
appreciation of the past!) research to communicate with you!
Let Chiropractic Solutions work with you to get some understanding as
to why you suffer with spine-related pain…and how we can get some relief of chronic back pain.
RESEARCHERS
CALL FOR “WHY” MANUAL THERAPY WORKS
Today’s
medical literature and researchers are asking for more information
on ‘why” manual therapy works beyond recent
studies supporting the peripheral, segmental spinal, and
supraspinal mechanisms which can be measured. A group of
researchers studied published reviews of other studies regarding
the means of how manual therapy influences a
body. They found support for neurovascular, neurological, and
neuropeptide/neuroimmune modifications as well as the value
of pain reduction with manual therapy. (1) All of these discoveris
are great! They want to understand more.
RESEARCH ON
THE “WHY” OF COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES
Chiropractic Solutions
appreciates the efforts of a group of researchers who have been studying the “why” of Cox® Technic treatment protocols and positive
outcomes. At the ACC-RAC annual chiropractic research meeting this past March 2025, two
platform abstracts were delivered on Cox® Technic studies. One discussed the
ability to calculate lumbar spinous process movement with
ultrasound during the administration of flexion
distraction manipulation. The researchers highlighted the
separation of the spinous process at L3L4, L4L5, L5S1 levels. (2) The second
one discussed how they are competent to measure
the forces delivered during the Cox Technic FDD spinal
manipulation in a patient whose low back pain and leg pain were alleviated.
(3) The more measurements possible, the more understanding
of “why” something works will evolve! We are so excited to share with our San Jose chiropractic patients!
FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES
Another
group of researchers have planned a new project to examine
how implementing guidelines from the American College of
Physicians for Low Back Pain may enhance the treatment
of low back pain. The guideline has been around for a
long time, but it has not been implemented. A
study has been approved by multiple Institutional Review Boards: Duke,
Dartmouth, University of Iowa, and Advarra. The first line treatment recommended
is non-pharmacological interventions like spinal manipulation (which is chiropractic forte!) and exercise. (4)
Chiropractic Solutions looks forward to this study’s
outcomes! It is time!
