Objective: Scientific literature applicable to chiropractic practice proliferates in quantity, quality, and source. Chiropractic is a worldwide profession and varies in scope between states or provinces and from country to country. It is logical to consider that the focus and emphasis of chiropractic education varies between programs as well. This original research study endeavored to determine ''essential literature'' recommended by chiropractic faculty. The purpose of this article is (1) to share our results and (2) to promote discussion and explore means for future collaboration of chiropractic faculty through a worldwide platform. Methods: A 2-phase recruitment occurred initially at the institutional level and subsequently at the faculty level. A Web-based survey used qualitative data collection methods to gather bibliographic citations. Descriptive statistics were calculated for demographics, and citation responses were ranked per number of recommendations, grouped into categories, and tabulated per journal source and publication date. Results: Forty-one chiropractic programs were contacted, resulting in 30 participating chiropractic programs (16 US and 14 international). Forty-five faculty members completed the entire survey, submitting 126 peer-reviewed publications and 25 additional citations. Readings emphasized clinical management of spine pain, the science of spinal manipulation, effectiveness of manual therapies, teaching of chiropractic techniques, outcomes assessments, and professional issues. Conclusion: A systematic approach to surveying educators in international chiropractic institutions was accomplished. The results of the survey provide a list of essential literature for the chiropractic profession. We recommend establishing a chiropractic faculty registry for improved communication and collaboration.

Intra-articular adhesions would not account for acute or transient hypomobility because of the time required for adhesion 7 formation, but adhesions should be a theoretical consideration where chronic segmental hypomobility follows a period of immobilization.…”

Somatic dysfunction: An osteopathic conundrum

Somatic dysfunction is considered a central concept for the theory and practice of osteopathy, but its relevance to the modern profession is questionable due to its unclear pathophysiology and poor reliability of detection. This article will explore the factors that may produce clinical signs attributed to somatic dysfunction and discuss the plausibility of the concept. A conceptual model is presented for the clinical diagnostic cues attributed to intervertebral somatic dysfunction, where signs of dysfunction arise from tissue and neurological factors related by a cycle of tissue injury and nociceptive-driven functional changes. Finally, the relevance of the concept of somatic dysfunction to the modern osteopathic profession is discussed and recommendations for the osteopathic profession are made.

“…[15][16][17][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] Anesthesia minimizes pain, muscle spasm, and protective guarding that may occur during manipulation. Manipulation on a sedated patient is purported to enhance the practitioner's ability to break apart adhesions and repair segmental dysfunction, 11,15,17,30 leading to increased ligament, tendon, muscle, and articular flexibility. 22 Manipulation under anesthesia has been used as an intervention for back pain in some form for more than 80 years.…”

Objective: The purpose of this case series is to report the effects of manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) for patients with lumbopelvic (lumbar spine, sacroiliac and/or pelvic, hip) pain in an outpatient ambulatory/hospital-based setting. Methods: A retrospective chart review of cases treated at an outpatient ambulatory surgical center in New York and a general hospital in New York was performed. Patients with preand postintervention Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index (ODI) scores and lumbopelvic and hip complaints were included (N = 18). No intervention other than MUA was administered between the initial and follow-up ODI scoring. Scores on the ODI were assessed within 1 week prior to MUA and again within 2 weeks postprocedure. Results: Patients underwent 2 to 4 chiropractic MUA procedures over the course of 7 to 8 days as per National Academy of Manipulation Under Anesthesia physicians' protocols. Preprocedure ODI scores ranged from 38 to 76, with an average score of 53.4. Postprocedure scores ranged from 0 to 66, with an average score of 32.8. For each patient, ODI scores were lower after MUA, with an average decrease of 20.6. Sixteen of 18 patients experienced a clinically meaningful improvement in ODI score. No adverse reactions were reported. Conclusions: For 16 of the 18 patients with chronic lumbopelvic pain reported in this study, MUA showed clinically meaningful reduction in low back pain disability.
