Our
New Roads chiropractic clients want to know
“why”! Why do I suffer with back pain?Why does back pain keep
coming back? Understandable
questions that may oftentimes be clarified with
examination findings that line up with research-documented
findings. Research can help illuminate that, and New Roads Chiropractic Center
works to keep on top of the latest (with a healthy
gratitude of the older!) research to share with you!
Let New Roads Chiropractic Center work with you to get some understanding as
to why you experience 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 is successful beyond recent
studies supporting the peripheral, segmental spinal, and
supraspinal mechanisms which can be measured. A group of
researchers studied published reviews of other studies regarding
the means of how manual therapy affects a
body. They found support for neurovascular, neurological, and
neuropeptide/neuroimmune modifications as well as the value
of pain reduction with manual therapy. (1) All of these findings
are great! They want to know more.
RESEARCH ON
THE “WHY” OF COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES
New Roads Chiropractic Center
values the efforts of a group of researchers who have been studying the “why” of Cox® Technic treatment protocols and beneficial
results. At the ACC-RAC annual chiropractic research meeting this past March 2025, two
platform abstracts were presented on Cox® Technic studies. One showed the
ability to assess lumbar spinous process movement with
ultrasound during the administration of flexion
distraction manipulation. The researchers highlighted the
separation of the spinous process at L3L4, L4L5, L5S1 levels. (2) The second
one discussed how they are competent 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 understanding
of “why” something works will come! We can’t
wait to share with our New Roads chiropractic patients!
FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES
Another
group of researchers plan to examine
how implementing guidelines from the American College of
Physicians for Low Back Pain may enhance the care
of low back pain. The guideline has been in the literature for a
long time, but it’s 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)
New Roads Chiropractic Center looks forward to this study’s
outcomes! It’s time!
