Our
Montreal chiropractic clients want to know
“why”! Why do I have back pain?Why do I keep getting back pain? Outstanding
questions that may oftentimes be clarified with
examination findings aligned with research-documented
findings. Research can help explain that, and Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic
works to keep abreast of the latest (with a healthy
gratitude of the past!) research to communicate with you!
Let Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic 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 asking for more information
on ‘why” manual therapy is successful beyond recent
studies supportive of the peripheral, segmental spinal, and
supraspinal mechanisms which can be assessed. A group of
researchers studied published reviews of other studies involving
the means of how manual therapy influences a
body. They found support for neurovascular, neurological, and
neuropeptide/neuroimmune changes as well as the value
of pain decrease with manual therapy. (1) All of these discoveris
are great! They want to understand more.
RESEARCH ON
THE “WHY” OF COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic
values the efforts of a group of researchers who have been looking
at 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 delivery 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 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 possible, the more understanding
of “why” something works will come! We can’t
wait to share with our Montreal 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 enhance the care
of low back pain. The guideline has been around 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 endorsed
is non-pharmacological interventions like spinal manipulation (which is chiropractic forte!) and exercise. (4)
Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic looks forward to this study’s
outcomes! It is time!
