Chiropractic management of mechanical low back pain secondary to multiple-level lumbar spondylolysis with spondylolisthesis in a United States Marine Corps veteran: a case reportEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Conservative management is considered to be the standard of care for spondylolysis and should be explored in its various forms for symptomatic low back pain patients who present without neurologic deficits and with spondylolisthesis below grade III. The response to treatment for the veteran patient in this case suggests that lumbar flexion/distraction may serve as a safe and effective component of conservative management of mechanical low back pain for some patients with spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis.

The notion of a “whiplash culture”: a review of the evidenceEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: There are many unanswered questions about the basis of chronic whiplash, and the notion of a whiplash culture is controversial. Chronic whiplash symptoms are surely not caused entirely by cultural issues, yet they are probably not entirely physical. Presumably, a tissue injury component exists in most chronic whiplash-associated disorder victims that becomes aggravated in those who are susceptible to biopsychosocial factors. As with many other controversial health care topics, the answer to the debate probably lies somewhere in the middle. (Source: Journal of Chiropractic Medicine)

The relationship between pelvic torsion and anatomical leg length inequality: a review of the literatureEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Across varying methodologies for measuring LLI and pelvic torsion, a consistent, dose-related pattern was identified in which the innominate rotates anteriorly on the side of a shorter leg and posteriorly on the side of the longer leg. This finding was contrary to the common assertion that the ilium rotates posteriorly on the side of a short leg and vice versa. Practitioners of manual medicine who derive vectors for intervention based on leg checking procedures should consider the possibility that the direction of pelvic torsion may be variable depending on whether the LLI is of anatomical or functional origin....

Conclusion: It was concluded that taking the nutritional supplement for 90 days reduced blood pressure but not body weight in this group of subjects. The HRV was not affected by the supplement over the 3-month period. Larger studies should be conducted to determine effects on other populations. (Source: Journal of Chiropractic Medicine)

Lumbar magnetic resonance imaging hypolordosis in symptomatic patients: association with paraspinal muscle spasmsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This study examined a set of patients who were symptomatic for low back pain and who had significant lumbar hypolordosis as assessed by visual evaluation of magnetic resonance images to investigate the frequency of comorbid paraspinal muscle spasms as determined via history or physical examination.Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on 50 patients who had significant hypolordosis on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Cobb angle (Source: Journal of Chiropractic Medicine)

We appreciate the responder's interest in our study. Our study was not intended to show flaws in any particular radiographic technique. All techniques that use an overlap/under lap approach to assess the atlantooccipital (A-O) articular misalignment are susceptible to inherent measurement flaws due to structural asymmetries. The reader was informed that the procedures used in our study did not directly transfer to real-life radiographic measurements but were used to show that there can be an inherent asymmetry that may lead to false positives or false negatives (ie, existence of misalignments when there are none or apparen...

Surface area congruence of atlas superior articulating facets and occipital condylesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
It is encouraging to see new, clinically relevant upper cervical anatomical research; and no Blair practitioner will be surprised by the findings of Briggs et al of bilateral asymmetry of the atlantooccipital (AO) articulations. However, several of the references of Briggs et al to Blair's hypothesis on the matching of ipsilateral AO surfaces, his research database, and his radiographic analysis require clarification.

Should the chiropractic profession embrace the doctrine of informed consent?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We appreciate the opinions of the authors, for they imply that the chiropractic profession recognizes the importance of the doctrine of informed consent and patient safety. For clarification, we elect to elucidate our position of the utilization of the terms promulgate and standard of care in our article. It is our collective opinion that the chiropractic profession make it be known by open declaration (promulgate) that the “Doctrine of Informed Consent” be clearly and forcefully supported as the standard of care that chiropractors must implement into their clinical practice on every patient. We believe the national or...

Should the chiropractic profession embrace the doctrine of informed consent? Lehman et al. Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2008;7:107-114Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The narrative review by Lehman et al that posed questions for the chiropractic profession to consider, relating to informed consent, is to be applauded. We disagree, though, with your premise that the “informed consent doctrine” is not promulgated as the standard of care. The prevailing view in the profession, in our opinion, is that this “process” is a part of the standard of care but is not routinely implemented. (Source: Journal of Chiropractic Medicine)

Conclusions: There is a paucity of evidence available with respect to chiropractic treatment of spinal stenosis. The limited evidence that is available points toward chiropractic care being potentially beneficial in the treatment of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, but further clinical investigations are necessary.

Asymmetry in atlas bone specimens: a pilot study using radiographic analysisEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: These 10 specimens showed an average difference of 0.95 mm ± 1 SD (0.67 mm) or 2 SDs (1.34 mm) between the left and right sides of the atlas vertebrae. Differences found on radiographs may be due to asymmetry and not actual misalignment. On the average, for these 10 vertebra specimens, a lateral disposition of 1.62 mm on either side should be allowed when arriving at a conclusion for lateral displacement of the atlas.

Conclusion: According to the data that have been compiled, there is significantly greater fixation in the smoking participants at T1/T2 and T2/T3 spinal regions when compared with the nonsmoking participants, although both groups had a higher-than-normal fixation rate. The nonsmoking participants demonstrated higher mobility compared with the smoking group. (Source: Journal of Chiropractic Medicine)

Being a successful health care provider in these difficult economic times is a challenge for even “best of class” clinicians. Many people, including doctors, have seen their life savings shrink or even entirely disappear. This time of unrest and worry about the future reaches beyond our own immediate personal needs, wants, and dreams. Many people are sincerely concerned about the country as a whole. Some of the best doctors I know are shaking their heads wondering, “What is next?” After being battled by managed care, increased overhead, and lower net revenues, our confidence in the overall economy and the business ...
