Hello Professionally Integrated. Here is a finite element study where the authors evaluated C2-C3 during “whiplash” simulation. During the evaluation they recorder many ligamentous areas of the spine and how they react, or fail during a “whiplash” mechanism. This is important for us to know as it will only help us understand and identify common injuries in crashes that in… Read More
Hello professionally integrated, Here is a paper where the authors looked at patients who were diagnosed with “discogenic pain” and evaluated them with flexion extension lumbar x-rays to determine the likelihood of instability. This paper is great to explain how abnormal movement can lead to increased pain. The authors suggest this imaging should be done on patients with “nonspecific pain”… Read More
Hello Professionally Integrated, This study shows that a car crash can injure different ligaments in the spine. Even “low impact” . As a provider if we take flex/ext films and mainly a digital motion Xray, we have a better chance of identifying which areas are damaged. When we do that, we can treat more effectively and better educate our patients… Read More
Hello Professionally Integrated, Here is a paper where the authors looked at a “loss the cervical curve”, degeneration, and how it correlates. The way they fixed it to prevent further degeneration is fusion. As chiropractors this is a structural abnormality, a true subluxation, and I believe we can address this better than almost any other treatment and by doing… Read More
Hello Professionally Integrated, Here is an interesting paper that discusses CAROTID ARTERY INJURY after a crash and raises the clinical question if we should do angiograms after trauma. This is a tough clinical decision to make as we want to start with a more conservative approach, yet trauma such as crashes, have shown to disrupt the vessels of the… Read More
Hello Professionally Integrated, Here is a paper where the authors discuss “low impact” and ongoing back pain. Many insurance companies, and some providers may suggest that car damage somehow correlates to pain. As a member of the site you get access to research that clearly shows car damage does not matter, as well as videos and research to… Read More
Hello Professionally Integrated, Here is a paper that looks at “common” injuries’ in kids in car crashes. They looked at car vectors , vehicle type, etc.. Many “people” (insurance companies) have said kids can not really get injured in crashes. Here is a great paper to educate your patients and even use to talk to pediatricians to show them… Read More
Hello Professionally Integrated, Here is a paper where the authors take a look at anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for radiculopathy due to degenerative changes. They wanted to see what the quality of life (QOL) was like in patients that had to undergo this procedure compared to those who do not. The authors found that after a fusion… Read More
Here is a study I helped author where we evaluated 261 patients flexion extension Xrays. This study shows that car crashes can cause instability, and different crash vectors and sex can change stability patterns. You have to make sure you are documenting this and being thorough with all your patients. Be sure to be a GOLD or PREMIUM member for… Read More
Hello Professionally Integrated, Here is a paper where the authors looked at what areas cause pain in the lumbar spine AFTER a car crash. You can clearly see the pain is not diagnosed as “whiplash”. By understanding where the pain generator is, we can get a specific diagnosis that can lead to a better treatment plan. The authors also discuss… Read More

Here is a video breakdown as well as a paper breakdown for you to easily educate and put in your notes to validate your patient’s injury and your treatment of endplate fractures! This paper looks at “nonspecific back pain” after trauma can actually be fractures of the endplates, and how this can affect the patient both in the short and… Read More
Hello professionally integrated, Here is really cool paper and video break down discussing how abnormal mechanics as well as instability will lead to destruction of the DISCS and JOINTS.. I have used this many times already to educate patients on the importance of improving the abnormal structure and stability of the spine for better long-term outcomes. Be sure to use… Read More
