Chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy versus physical therapist‐led exercise and the risk of cauda equina syndrome in adults with lumbar disc herniation, stenosis, or radiculopathy

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Cauda equina syndrome is a surgical emergency often caused by lumbar disc herniation. Spinal manipulative therapy is commonly used for lumbar spine disorders, but case reports have raised concerns it may precipitate cauda equina syndrome. One cohort study suggested no increased risk, although it did not focus on patients with lumbar

A randomized controlled trial comparing different sites of high-velocity low amplitude thrust on sensorimotor integration parameters

Scientific Reports
Increasing evidence suggests that a high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrust directed at a dysfunctional vertebral segment in people with subclinical spinal pain alters various neurophysiological measures, including somatosensory evoked potentials ...

Association of lumbar spine stiffness and flexion-relaxation phenomenon with patient-reported outcomes in adults with chronic low back pain – a single-arm clinical trial investigating the effects of thrust spinal manipulation

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2017
Background Spinal manipulation (SM) is used commonly for treating low back pain (LBP). Spinal stiffness is routinely assessed by clinicians performing SM. Flexion-relaxation ratio (FRR) was shown to distinguish between LBP and healthy populations.

No increased risk of spinal cerebrospinal fluid leak after spinal manipulative therapy: A retrospective cohort study

PM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Spinal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, a rare but debilitating condition, have been described following spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) in case reports. However, the nature of the potential association between SMT and CSF leak is uncertain, and symptoms such as neck pain or headache may reflect preexisting leaks rather than ...

The reliability of chiropractic methods used for the detection of spinal subluxation: An Overview of the literature [PDF]

, 1996
A Literature review was conducted to investigate the methods commonly used to detect chiropractic "subluxation". None were found to show irrefutable reliability and validity.

Constructing Difference: Maternal Boundary‐Work in Science‐Based and Natural Mom Groups on Facebook

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
Boundary‐work describes the activities of social groups as they seek to differentiate themselves from others to establish credibility, authority, or to protect their interests. While a growing body of literature explores occupational boundary‐work in health care, limited research has focused on how lay actors practice boundary‐work online.

The association between students’ confidence and ability to modulate spinal manipulation force–time characteristics of specific target forces: a cross-sectional study

Chiropractic & Manual Therapies
Background Spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) is a guideline-recommended care for musculoskeletal pain taught in various undergraduate programs. Visual feedback through force-sensing tables can improve modulation of SMT force–time characteristics and ...

Non-Specific Low Back Pain: An Inductive Exploratory Analysis through Factor Analysis and Deep Learning for Better Clustering

Brain Sciences, 2023
Non-specific low back pain (NSLBP) is a significant and pervasive public health issue in contemporary society. Despite the widespread prevalence of NSLBP, our understanding of its underlying causes, as well as our capacity to provide effective treatments,
