“…113,115,116 Articles were also excluded if an underlying red flag condition was present and/or the patient was referred if the condition was not appropriate for chiropractic management, for example, surgery. 14,[117][118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126] However, such literature shows that practitioners who treat peripheral conditions function under a diagnostic triage system similar to their allopathic counterparts and understand the limitations of chiropractic management and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to injury management. It also suggests the diagnostic proficiency of the profession and corroborates the primary contact jurisdiction of chiropractic.…”

“…Other authors reporting cases of hip pain later diagnosed as having pathological origins have also recommended diagnostic imaging in cases involving hip pain that is nonresponsive to conser vative treatment, including physical therapy. 10,31,33 While the decision-making process of when to order imaging in the presence of low back pain has been extensively studied and reported, 8,17,18 there is little available guidance in the literature concerning musculoskeletal complaints of the hip and pelvis.…”

“…While conditions such as degenerative joint disease of the hip and trochanteric bursitis are common and appropriate for physical therapy management, similar symptoms may occur in more serious conditions such as femoral neck stress fractures, 15 gluteus medius tendon tears, 4 metastatic tumors, 10,21,28 and lesions of the acetabular labrum or cartilage. 24 The expanded differential diagnosis of hip pain also includes other conditions such as an iliopsoas abscess, avascular necrosis, pelvic inflammator y disease, Crohn's disease, femoral hernia, Reiter's syndrome, and sickle cell anemia.…”

Decision Making for a Painful Hip: A Case Requiring Referral

Study Design: Resident's case problem. Background: The purpose of this resident's case problem is to describe a 39-year-old female patient with insidious onset of hip pain. This patient had discrete findings on subjective and physical examination that prompted referral for further imaging studies of the left hip and pelvis. Despite having seen multiple providers, no imaging of the involved hip or pelvis had been performed. A prolonged duration of symptoms, severe gait disturbance with an associated Trendelenburg sign, difficulty sleeping, and an empty end feel with passive range of motion increased concern that a pathological process might be present. Diagnosis: Imaging studies revealed a large destructive soft-tissue tumor later found to be non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Discussion: It is incumbent upon physical therapists to be aware of the potential for severe pathological conditions that mimic musculoskeletal complaints to exist and understand how to identify patients for whom further testing and/or referral may be appropriate. Existing guidelines for low back pain may assist with decision making in the absence of specific guidelines for when to request imaging in patients with nontraumatic hip and pelvis pain. Proficiency in screening for conditions not amenable to physical therapy treatment or that require consultation to other health care professionals is essential to physical therapy practice.

“…Often, the clinical scenario involved patients presenting with neuromusculoskeletal system (NMS) complaints, and with subsequent clinical workup on the part of the attending chiropractor, the underlying cause of the patient's symptoms is attributed to cancer. The published literature on the chiropractic care of patients with cancer includes a diagnosis of aneurysmal bone cyst, 24 astrocytoma, 25 metastasis from breast cancer, [26][27][28][29][30][31] carcinoma, [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40] chordoma, 41,42 chondroblastoma, 43,44 chondrosarcoma, 45 enchondroma, 46 ependymoma, 47 Ewing sarcoma, 48 fibrosarcoma, 49 ganglioneuroma, 50 hemangioma, [51][52][53] leukemia, 54 lipoblastomatosis, 55 lung cancer metastasis, 56 lymphoma, 57 meningioma, 58 mesothelioma, 59 neuroma, 60 neurofibromatosis type I, 61 osteochondroma, 62,63 osteoid osteoma, 64,65 osteosarcoma, 66 Pancoast tumor, [67]…”

Background and Significance: Cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide and accounted for 7.4 million deaths in 2004. By 2030, deaths from cancer have been estimated at 12 million with 30% being preventable. Complementary and alternative medicine remains popular among cancer patients; particularly with chiropractic services. However, the nature of the chiropractic clinical encounter and its reported benefits remains to be fully investigated. Towards these efforts, we begin with a systematic review of the literature on the chiropractic care of patients with cancer. Methods: The following electronic databases were searched: MANTIS ; Index to Chiropractic Literature ; Pubmed ; Medline EMBASE , AMED , CINAHL Plus , Alt-Health Watch and PsychINFO [1965PsychINFO [ -2010. Key words used were "cancer" and "neoplasm" in Boolean combination with "chiropractic." Primary investigation/reports in peer-reviewed English journals involving chiropractic care were reviewed. Results: Our review revealed 60 case reports, 2 case series, 21 commentaries, 2 survey studies, and 2 literature reviews. The case reports were diagnostic with commentaries highlighting the importance of recognizing the patient presenting with NMS complaints due to an underlying neoplasm. The chiropractic clinical encounter prior to cancer diagnosis and subsequent medical referral is poorly characterized in the literature. Conclusion: Patients with cancer seek the care of chiropractors. The literature does not reflect or describe the totality of the chiropractic clinical encounter. We encourage further research in this field.
