Patient-centered chiropractic care via evidence-informed inquiry
Patient-centered chiropractic care and emerging treatments call for your own evidence-informed inquiry when evidence-based research falls short.
Scoliosis and the biomechanics for positive corrections
The founder of the CLEAR Scoliosis Institute breaks down the spinal biomechanics of scoliosis, and how the body reacts to and compensates for the loss of curve in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spines.
Treating peripheral neuropathy with chiropractic
You can be a game changer with patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy. There are many natural options chiropractors can offer to help provide relief, such as adjustments, laser therapy, and supplements. There is an opportunity to become a leader in offering patients a long-term solution to neuropathy.
Learning The Feldenkrais Method and what it brings to your practice
Feldenkrais lessons before an adjustment can assist by helping a patient relax and let go of holdings that make adjustments difficult. After a chiropractic adjustment, Feldenkrais lessons provide support and education that can help patients’ adjustments stick. It can become a symbiotic process that blends neurological, spinal, and kinesthetic experience to everyone’s advantage.
The DCs ultimate guide to tech neck
As with many other technological advances in today’s fast-paced world, all of this time spent sending and receiving texts and emails comes at a price. In this case, it’s a painful phenomenon, mainly affecting the neck and shoulders, which has become known as tech neck. What causes this painful condition, what are its symptoms, and how can it be treated?
Expand your practice with spinal decompression therapy
Spinal decompression therapy (SDT) provides chiropractors an effective, drug-free intervention for patients’ back pain. Since its introduction into the chiropractic market, SDT equipment’s price points have come down and its efficacy is better understood, so it may make sense for you to add this technique to your treatment offerings.
Hand hygiene matters for DCs too
This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an educational program regarding hand hygiene and general infection prevention in a chiropractic outpatient clinical setting. The initial assessment results validated the need for additional education and training on hand hygiene, equipment disinfection and other recommended infection prevention procedures.
You are the solution to acute and chronic spinal pain
Everyone knows that chiropractors treat the health of the spine, and when it comes to treating both acute and chronic spine pain, chiropractors are in an excellent position to use a variety of tools to not just ease patients’ discomfort, but to fix the cause of the problem as well.
The science of chiropractic: Your practice needs science
One of the areas where chiropractic has traditionally struggled is public perception. In the past, it’s not been uncommon to hear people say that this type of methodology and treatment is “quackery,” or that it’s just not as effective as it professes to be. However, there are many scientific studies which support the benefits patients can receive by engaging in this type of care.
The Zone Technique: What you need to know
Developed in 1931 by Dr. Thurman Fleet, the Zone Technique—which was originally called Zone Therapy—is based on the notion that there are six potential zones of the body that, when disturbed by emotional, physical, or chemical stressors, can lead to a variety of diseases and discomforts. In short, the Zone Technique operates on the belief that the body operates like an electrical device.
