Abstract OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this report is to describe the response of a geriatric patient with low back pain and a history of leukemia,
Abstract BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to examine heart rate variability (HRV) in the presence or the absence of pain in the lower
Abstract OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to compare the variation of manipulative forces produced by instruments and a manual technique. METHODS: Four operators
Abstract OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to quantify and compare the 3-dimensional intersegmental motion responses produced by 3 commonly used chiropractic adjusting instruments.
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To document potential mediating effects of the Activator-assisted spinal manipulative therapy (ASMT) on pain and hyperalgesia after acute intervertebral foramen (IVF) inflammation. METHODS:
Abstract Objective: To examine the effect of spinal manipulation on electromyographic (EMG) activity in areas of localized tight muscle bundles of the low back. Methods:
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To develop a mathematical model capable of describing the static and dynamic motion response of the lumbar spine to posteroanterior forces. DESIGN: Static,
Abstract OBJECTIVE: To describe a case of postsurgical neck pain, after multiple spinal surgeries, that was successfully treated by chiropractic intervention with instrumental adjustment of
Abstract STUDY DESIGN: Twenty asymptomatic volunteers each received three spinal manipulative treatments to the thoracic spine. The treatments consisted of a straight posterior-to-anterior high-speed, low-amplitude
Abstract STUDY DESIGN: The diagnostic performance of a newly described variable was assessed in an in vivo model of disc degeneration using a split-pair experimental
