July 2026 Healthy News from Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic: 2026 Research Roundup: Chiropractic Care, Exercise, and Low Back Pain Relief

2026 STUDIES BACK CHIROPRACTIC CARE FOR LOW BACK PAIN RELIEF

Living with low back pain? Here's a reason to smile — new 2026 research is reinforcing that chiropractic care is a smart move. One 2026 study looked closely at how people describe feeling "worse" with low back pain, and it's helping chiropractors refine how we check in with you and guide your care. (1) Good news for our patients managing pain over time: a systematic review centered on older adults with chronic spinal issues confirmed spinal manipulative therapy as a genuinely effective option. (2) Research coming out of Switzerland underscored chiropractic care's role within a bigger, integrative approach to pain — validating that what you get here goes beyond a quick fix. (3) As chiropractic care earns more recognition around the world, work on things like professional regulation — including a fresh look at how it's governed in Italy — proves this field is becoming an increasingly accountable part of healthcare. (4) So the next time you're on our table, know this: you're not just feeling better, you're part of a growing body of evidence showing that chiropractic care is a smart, well-supported choice for low back pain. We're so honored that you're on this journey with us at Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic!

Listen to this PODCAST with Dr. Kurt Olding on The Back Doctors Podcast with Dr. Michael Johnson as he discusses the importance of finding the right spine care provider for your spine and the benefit of The Cox® Technic System of Spinal Pain Management in getting relief.

CHIROPRACTIC TIP OF THE MONTH: Exercise + Manual Therapy/Spinal Manipulation for Chronic Low Back Pain

Chances are, if chronic low back pain lead you to us, you already love how manual therapy and spinal manipulation make you feel — but adding exercise into the mix can make things even better. A recent network meta-analysis compared therapeutic exercise and manual therapy techniques head-to-head and verified that combining approaches leads to better outcomes for self-reported disability in chronic low back pain. (5) Likewise, researchers are testing manual therapy combined with core strengthening exercises for sedentary people dealing with chronic low back pain — because let's be honest, our cores could use the help. (6) Given how well exercise and manual therapy keep showing how well they work together, here's a fun twist to consider: Pilates! Research on machine-based Pilates programs found encouraging results for low back pain and quality of life in older adults, backed by openly positive feedback from those who tried it. (7) So next time you're in for an adjustment, ask us about simple exercises — or maybe even Pilates — you can add to your everyday routine around Montreal. Your spine (and your core) will thank you!
