Chiropractic Combined with Rehab Corrects Chronic Cervical Pain and Improves Postural Control: This new case report details how chiropractic care, combined with a well-designed rehab program reduced pain and improved postural balance in a woman with a 2-year complaint of persistant cervico-thoracic spine pain and suboccipital headaches. Another recent report details how chiropractic helped correct Erb's Palsy in an 8-year old child. Another study details how chiropractic care reduced menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea). This section will continue to collect relevant case studies published in the peer-reviewed literature. Interested in sharing a case study with the profession on our website? Here's an outline for your use. Look for the CASE REPORTS Section in the RESEARCH drop-down.
Chiropractic Proven Superior to Acupuncture for Relief of Chronic Spinal Pain ~ on ChiroZINE: Three studies comparing spinal manipulation with acupuncture — a pilot study, then a randomized controlled clinical trial, followed by a one-year follow-up study — demonstrated that chiropractic care was the only “treatment” that provided broad-based long-term benefits. In another study, data collected from 28,807 treatment consultations and 19,722 new patients, reviewed significant predictors for immediate improvement with care. Another new survey reveals that a much higher percentage of chiropractic patients seek more than “musculoskeletal care” than has previously been recognized. A new retrospective analysis of 70,274 member-months in a 7-year period within an IPA, comparing medical management to chiropractic management, demonstrated decreases of 60.2% in-hospital admissions 59.0% less hospital days, 62.0% less outpatient surgeries and procedures, and 85% less pharmaceutical costs when compared with conventional medicine IPA performance. This clearly demonstrates that chiropractic nonsurgical nonpharmaceutical approaches generates reductions in both clinical and cost utilization when compared with PCPs using conventional medicine alone. ChiroZINE is the first chiropractic newspaper on the internet, providing you with news and science reviews.
Participate in Practice Based Research: We would like to invite you to participate in Cleveland’s Practice-Based Research (PBR) Program. Our current project’s goal is to assess the effect chiropractic care has on balance, fall risk, and physical function in patients aged 65 and older. The time frame for starting this project is January – February 2009. Read more now and participate!
Chiropractic and Chronic Neck Pain: A recent balanced article in the Feb 13, 2008 issue of JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) revealed that between 1997 and 2005, the costs for “standard medical management” of spinal pain syndromes (both neck and back) increased by an inflation-adjusted 65%, while measured outcomes for physical functioning, work or school limitations, and social limitations among adult actually declined! During this same period, there was also an overall increase in the number of individuals who experienced neck or back pain (from 20.7% to 24.7%). Read more now!
Chiropractic and Disc Herniation: Is it safe to adjust someone with a disc herniation in the neck or low back? Find out more at the Disc Herniation Page and at the Radiculopathy Pages. They review the safety of chiropractic care, and detail how chiropractic care can reduce pain and inflammation, without the risk of resorting to dangerous medications. The Rand SF-36 is now available for your use in the Outcome Assessment section. The Articles of Interest section of the LINKS has been permanently relocated to ChiroZine. NOTE: Informed Consent involves discussing the Iatrogenic Side Effects of standard medical alternatives to conservative chiropractic care. The LINKS Section can be found on the tan toolbar.
