Hello professionally Integrated, Here is a great paper that discusses the physiological problems that occur with a diagnosis of a “facet injury”. This goes over instability of the facet joint, how it affects movement and stability, how it disrupts nerves, tissue of the facet and cartilage, and trauma to the joint, and lots more. This is a wonderful way… Read More
Hello Professionally Integrated, Here is a free video breakdown, as well as information for you to quickly and easily insert in your notes for improved documentation & patient education. This is a study where the authors looked at “low-speed” car crashes and compared them to the likelihood of injury during activities of daily living. Insurance companies and IMEs will sometimes… Read More
Hello PROFESSIONALLY INTEGRATED, Here is a FREE paper where the authors followed people that were involved in a car crash and people who were not involved in a car crash for 20 YEARS! What the authors found was that people involved in a car crash have significantly more pain than those who were not initially in a car crash. The… Read More
Hello Professionally Integrated! Here is a great paper I break down for you to watch AND to take parts to insert in your notes and to educate your patients. These authors looked at FACET injuries in the spine and how it relates to pain in both the short and long term. Understanding that MANY areas of the spine can get… 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 very interesting paper that shows how once the facet joints are damaged, it can cause neurological consequences, including hyper- excitability and irritation of the CNS! Now, I have many papers, and videos on here showing how car crashes and trauma have been shown to damage the facet joints, and how this injury can lead to neurological compromise…. Read More
Here is a great paper (and video breakdown) that is incredibly important if you take images after your patient was in a crash and they have degeneration. Most insurance companies will argue that because degeneration is on the image that is a reason further pain and not the crash. However, research and science can be a wonderful thing. Below is… Read More
Here are a great paper and video that discusses MVC consequences, particularly how facet joints can get damaged leading to ongoing chronic pain that can also lead to central nervous system irritation and central sensitization. This is another paper that clearly shows that patients involved in motor vehicle crashes do not just get better a lot of the time, but… Read More
Dear Professionally Integrated, Here is a great video and paper that I break down for you to make it easy to put in your notes and educate patients and your community. This paper describes the difference between chronic pain patients from a car crash, compared to patients with pain not from a car crash. The authors found a significant difference… Read More

Hello Professionally Integrated, Here is a paper about axial neck pain. This can present like “sclerotogenous pain” from facets and ligaments and can even be irritated with a subluxation and loss of curve. This paper discusses how this pain decreases patients “quality of life”. I feel if we improve the curve and movement we can minimize this discomfort by increasing… Read More
Here is a study Professionally Integrated wants you to know about. The goal of professionally Integrated is to help you build your practice by YOU being an expert in your community. I want patients to seek you out. This study the authors MRI’d a few 100 joints of the cervical spine. Many of the patients were chronic WAD patients with pain,… Read More
Here is a study that Professionally Integrated wants you to understand to further help your patients. The authors examined patients 1 year after the crash. They examined asymptomatic and symptomatic people 1 year after the crash to see if they could determine why some were still in pain. They looked at many factors that WE need to be knowledgeable of… Read More
Here is a great study showing the movement of the cervical facet joints and how the areas may be injured. This is clinically important for us to understand when treating patients with neck pain from a trauma such as a car crash. What I find interesting is how low the G forces are to cause injury. This is important as… Read More
