Auburn Back Pain Patients Favorite Question: Why? Research Answers

April 29, 2025
Our Auburn chiropractic clients ask “why”! Why do I suffer with back pain? Why do I keep getting back pain? Understandable questions that may oftentimes be clarified with examination findings aligned with research-documented findings. Research can help illuminate that, and Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. works to keep abreast of the newest (with a healthy gratitude of the past!) research to communicate with you! Let Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. 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 works 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 involving the means of how manual therapy affects a body. They found support for neurovascular, neurological, and neuropeptide/neuroimmune changes as well as the effectiveness of pain reduction with manual therapy. (1) All of these discoveries are amazing! They want to understand more.

RESEARCH ON THE “WHY” OF COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES

Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. appreciates 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 chiropractic research meeting this past March 2025, two platform abstracts were presented about Cox® Technic. One showed the ability to measure lumbar spinous process movement with ultrasound during the administration 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 able to measure the forces delivered throughout 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 evolve! We are so excited to share with our Auburn chiropractic patients!

FOLLOWING GUIDELINES

Another group of researchers have planned a new project to test 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’s not been implemented. A study has been approved by several Institutional Review Boards: Duke, Dartmouth, University of Iowa, and Advarra. The first line treatment endorsed is non-pharmacological interventions like spinal manipulation and exercise. (4) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. excitedly awaits this study’s outcomes! It is time!
