Our
Groton chiropractic clients want to know
“why”! Why do I suffer with back pain?Why do I keep getting back pain? Outstanding
questions that can often be answered with
examination findings aligned with research-documented
findings. Research can help illuminate that, and Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office
works to keep abreast of the latest (with a healthy
gratitude of the older!) research to communicate with you!
Let Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office work with you to get some insights as
to why you have 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 info
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 uncovered support for neurovascular, neurological, and
neuropeptide/neuroimmune modifications as well as the value
of pain reduction with manual therapy. (1) All of these discoveris
are great! They want to understand more.
RESEARCH ON
THE “WHY” OF COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office
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 showed 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 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 possible, the more understanding
of “why” something works will come! We are so excited to share with our Groton 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 has not been implemented. 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)
Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office excitedly awaits this study’s
outcomes! It’s time!
