“…[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Many of these reviews were focused on a single CAM intervention such as acupuncture, massage, and other. 16,18,[22][23][24] Other review articles and guidelines were published more than 5 years ago and did not include the most current research evidence.…”

Chiropractic Care and Public Health: Answering Difficult Questions About Safety, Care Through the Lifespan, and Community Action

“…Many DCs are trained in conservative care throughout the life-span, [187][188][189][190] evidence-based methods, and use of best practices and practice guidelines. [191][192][193][194][195][196][197][198][199][200][201] These practices help to improve quality of care and reduce potential risk and reduce cost. It is the responsibility of every health care provider (MD, DO, DC, PT, nurse, PA) not only to be aware of public health matters but also to participate in them.…”

[32][33][34][35][36][37][38] From these, information gaps will be identified, and a research agenda will be formed. While this agenda is being created, the type of research will be considered, such as if additional randomized controlled trials are needed or if population-based studies are more appropriate.…”
