Our
Millville chiropractic clients want to know
“why”! Why do I suffer with back pain?Why does back pain keep
coming back? Understandable
questions that can often be answered with
examination findings that line up with research-documented
findings. Research can help illuminate that, and Wilson Family Chiropractic
works to keep abreast of the newest (with a healthy
gratitude of the older!) research to share with you!
Let Wilson Family Chiropractic work with you to get some understanding 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 works beyond recent
studies supporting the peripheral, segmental spinal, and
supraspinal mechanisms which can be assessed. A group of
researchers studied published reviews of other studies regarding
the mechanism of how manual therapy affects a
body. They uncovered support for neurovascular, neurological, and
neuropeptide/neuroimmune changes as well as the effectiveness
of pain decrease with manual therapy. (1) All of these discoveris
are amazing! They want to know more.
RESEARCH ON
THE “WHY” OF COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES
Wilson Family Chiropractic
values the efforts of a group of researchers who have been studying the “why” of Cox® Technic treatment protocols and beneficial
outcomes. At the ACC-RAC annual chiropractic research meeting this past March 2025, two
platform abstracts were delivered on Cox® Technic studies. One showed the
ability to assess lumbar spinous process movement with
ultrasound throughout the administration of flexion
distraction manipulation. The researchers highlighted the
separation of the spinous process at L3L4, L4L5, L5S1 levels. (2) The second
one presented how they are able to assess
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 done, the more knowledge
of “why” something works will come! We are so excited to share with our Millville chiropractic patients!
FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES
Another
group of researchers plan to examine
how applying guidelines from the American College of
Physicians for Low Back Pain may boost the treatment
of low back pain. The guideline has been in the literature for a
long time, but it has not been put into action. 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)
Wilson Family Chiropractic excitedly awaits this study’s
outcomes! It is time!
