Our
Tonawanda chiropractic patients want to know
“why”! Why do I have back pain?Why do I keep getting back pain? Excellent
questions that may oftentimes be answered with
examination findings that line up with research-documented
findings. Research can help illuminate that, and Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation
works to keep on top of the latest (with a healthy
appreciation of the older!) research to communicate with you!
Let Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation work with you to get some insights as
to why you suffer with spine-related pain…and how we can facilitate
your path to get some relief of chronic back pain.
RESEARCHERS
CALL FOR “WHY” MANUAL THERAPY WORKS
Today’s
medical literature and researchers are requesting more information
on ‘why” manual therapy succeeds beyond recent
studies supporting the peripheral, segmental spinal, and
supraspinal mechanisms which can be measured. A group of
researchers analyzed published reviews of other studies regarding
the means of how manual therapy influences a
body. They uncovered support for neurovascular, neurological, and
neuropeptide/neuroimmune modifications as well as the effectiveness
of pain reduction with manual therapy. (1) All of these findings
are amazing! They want to understand more.
RESEARCH ON
THE “WHY” OF COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation
appreciates the efforts of a group of researchers who have been looking
at 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 presented on Cox® Technic studies. One discussed the
ability to calculate lumbar spinous process movement with
ultrasound throughout the administration of flexion
distraction manipulation. The researchers noted
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 relieved.
(3) The more measurements done, the more knowledge
of “why” something works will come! We are so excited to share with our Tonawanda 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 boost the care
of low back pain. The guideline has been in the literature 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 endorsed
is non-pharmacological interventions like spinal manipulation (which is chiropractic forte!) and exercise. (4)
Chiropractic Spine Sports And Rehabilitation excitedly awaits this study’s
outcomes! It is time!
