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, 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
This paper discusses how an abnormal sagittal alignment (kyphosis) can lead to increase cell death, which then can lead to further pain, degeneration, and even central nervous system issues. If a patient presents to your office and you diagnose this, for example after a car crash, do you feel this pathology should be left to get worse? Do you feel… Read More
Here is a video breakdown and a link to the full paper for you to use to educate your patients, the community, and to improve your documentation to validate your treatment as to why a loss of cervical curve is linked to worse outcomes. The authors look at MRIs of the cervical spine with neck pain and how it leads… Read More
Hello Professionally Integrated, Here is a paper and video that I break down as I feel it will lead to better long term outcomes, and improved documentation to help validate our care. I have also added in a “HOW TO IMPLEMENT IN YOUR PRACTICE” section in the video where I show you how I use this paper to educate my… Read More
Hello Professionally Integrated, Here is a study where the authors show how a compressive load decreases pressure in the disc. I feel we can use this to educate our patients on what happens with abnormal load over a period of time and how our treatment can help reduce load. Eur Spine J. 2006 May; 15(5): 597–604. Published online 2005 Aug… Read More
Cervical spine trauma Cervical spine trauma is a common problem with a wide range of severity from minor ligamentous injury to frank osteo-ligamentous instability with spinal cord injury Indian J Orthop. 2007 Oct-Dec; 41(4): 255–267 “The reported frequency of missed injuries in the cervical spine varies from 4% to 30%.The most common reason cited for missed injuries is an inadequate radiographic… Read More
