Evidence-based chiropractors will be very excited to review the 2021 Chiropractic Clinical Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction synopsis. This groundbreaking paper illustrates how you compare to other providers concerning clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Patients with gluteal tendinopathy, sacroiliac joint dysfunctions, knee, ankle, and back pain all may be in compensation to a LLD—especially in long-distance runners and walkers. If manipulation, rehabilitation, and manual therapy are not correcting the diagnoses mentioned above, consider looking for other abnormalities, like LLD, that could lead to biomechanical adaptations.

Is that symptomatic segment hypo-mobile or hyper-mobile? Providing a consistent and accurate answer to this question largely defines our clinical success.Estimates suggest that spinal segmental instability is responsible for between 13-33% of all LBP. Instability is synonymous with diagnoses like spondylolisthesis. However, a new study found that instability was also present in more than half (57%) of all discogenic LBP cases.You won’t want to miss this week’s blog for a from-the-trenches synopsis (and quick video tutorial) of the best-practice assessment and management of spinal instability.

Runners are often a pain in the butt—mainly because they have pain in their butt! This population of patients requires attention to detail so we can quickly get them back to the sport.

A single intervention with the Epley maneuver leads to remission in 44-89% of cases, and this rate improves with second, third, or fourth interventions. Used in combination with at-home rehab like the Foster Half-Somersault, your office can be the place to go in your community for dizziness. Today's blog will outline a simple recipe for these often-frustrating patents.

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a chronic neurologic disorder characterized by an irresistible and uncomfortable need for movement.
