Our
Fort Wayne chiropractic clients ask
“why”! Why do I have back pain?Why does back pain keep
coming back? Outstanding
questions that can often be clarified with
examination findings that line up with research-documented
findings. Research can help illuminate that, and Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
works to keep on top of the newest (with a healthy
gratitude of the past!) research to communicate with you!
Let Aaron Chiropractic Clinic work with you to get some insights as
to why you suffer with spine-related pain…and how we can help you get some relief of chronic back pain.
RESEARCHERS
CALL FOR “WHY” MANUAL THERAPY WORKS
Today’s
medical literature and researchers are requesting more info
on ‘why” manual therapy is successful beyond recent
studies supporting the peripheral, segmental spinal, and
supraspinal mechanisms which can be assessed. A group of
researchers studied published reviews of other studies regarding
the mechanism of how manual therapy influences a
body. They uncovered support for neurovascular, neurological, and
neuropeptide/neuroimmune changes as well as the effectiveness
of pain reduction with manual therapy. (1) All of these findings
are amazing! They want to know more.
RESEARCH ON
THE “WHY” OF COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic
values the efforts of a group of researchers who have been looking
at the “why” of Cox® Technic treatment protocols and positive
results. At the ACC-RAC annual chiropractic research meeting this past March 2025, two
platform abstracts were delivered on Cox® Technic studies. One showed the
ability to measure lumbar spinous process movement with
ultrasound throughout the delivery of flexion
distraction manipulation. The researchers noted
separation of the spinous process at L3L4, L4L5, L5S1 levels. (2) The second
one discussed how they are competent to measure
the forces delivered throughout the Cox Technic FDD spinal
manipulation in a patient whose low back pain and leg pain were relieved.
(3) The more measurements done, the more understanding
of “why” something works will come! We can’t
wait to share with our Fort Wayne chiropractic patients!
FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES
Another
group of researchers have planned a new project to examine
how applying guidelines from the American College of
Physicians for Low Back Pain may boost 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 recommended
is non-pharmacological interventions like spinal manipulation (which is chiropractic forte!) and exercise. (4)
Aaron Chiropractic Clinic excitedly awaits this study’s
outcomes! It is time!
