Our
Auburn chiropractic patients want to know
“why”! Why do I have back pain?Why do I keep getting back pain? Understandable
questions that can often be answered with
examination findings that line up with research-documented
findings. Research can help illuminate that, and Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.
works to keep on top of the latest (with a healthy
appreciation of the past!) research to communicate with you!
Let Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. work with you to get some insights as
to why you experience spine-related pain…and how we can 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 current
studies supporting the peripheral, segmental spinal, and
supraspinal mechanisms which can be measured. A group of
researchers analyzed published reviews of other studies involving
the means of how manual therapy influences a
body. They uncovered support for neurovascular, neurological, and
neuropeptide/neuroimmune changes as well as the value
of pain decrease with manual therapy. (1) All of these findings
are great! 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 positive
results. At the ACC-RAC annual chiropractic research meeting this past March 2025, two
platform abstracts were delivered on Cox® Technic studies. One discussed the
ability to assess 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 presented 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 Auburn chiropractic patients!
FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES
Another
group of researchers have planned a new project to test
how implementing guidelines from the American College of
Physicians for Low Back Pain may boost the treatment
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 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)
Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. excitedly awaits this study’s
outcomes! It is time!
