Murfreesboro Back Pain Patients Favorite Question: Why? Research Answers
RESEARCHERS CALL FOR “WHY” MANUAL THERAPY WORKS
Today’s medical literature and researchers are asking for more info on ‘why” manual therapy is successful beyond recent studies supportive of the peripheral, segmental spinal, and supraspinal mechanisms which can be measured. A group of researchers analyzed published reviews of other studies involving the mechanism of how manual therapy affects a body. They found support for neurovascular, neurological, and neuropeptide/neuroimmune modifications as well as the value of pain decrease with manual therapy. (1) All of these findings are great! They want to know more.
RESEARCH ON THE “WHY” OF COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES
Most Chiropractic Clinic appreciates the efforts of a group of researchers who have been looking at the “why” of Cox® Technic treatment protocols and beneficial results. At the ACC-RAC chiropractic research meeting this past March 2025, two platform abstracts were delivered about Cox® Technic. One discussed the ability to calculate lumbar spinous process movement with ultrasound throughout the administration of flexion distraction manipulation. The researchers highlighted the separation of the spinous process at L3L4, L4L5, L5S1 levels. (2) The second one discussed how they are able to measure the forces delivered during the Cox® Technic FDD spinal manipulation in a patient whose low back pain and leg pain were relieved. (3) The more measurements done, the more knowledge of “why” something works will come! We are so excited to share with our Murfreesboro chiropractic patients!
