Parker University researcher wins prestigious international research award

Chiropractic Economics June 9, 2015

parkerJune 9, 2015 — Parker University congratulates Xue-Jun Song, DC, MD, whose research was recognized as a winner of the Louis Sportelli NCMIC Original Research Award at the 13th World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) biennual congress in Athens, Greece.

“Parker University is proud to continue our legacy of significant research,” said Parker University President Brian McAulay, DC, PhD. “Research is fundamental to our mission and vision at Parker University.”

The paper was one of only three selected for recognition and was the only one selected from a North American college or university.

The work titled “Spinal Manipulation Attenuates Neuropathic Pain through Activating Endogenous Anti-inflammatory Cytokine IL-10” was written by Parker University researchers Xue-Jun Song, MD, PhD, and co-authored by Harrison Ndetan, PhD, MPH.

Their research investigated the role of cytokines in lower back pain and relief. These cell proteins are an important signaling system for nerves and critical to the pathogenesis of the suffering involved in lower back injuries.

Their research found that one way spinal manipulation may alleviate chronic pain is through suppressing increased pro-inflammatory cytokines and activating endogenous anti-inflammatory cytokines in the spinal cord.

The award has a $5,000 cash value that will be received with award certificates after the article has been approved for publication by the Journal of Manipulative Physiological Therapeutics.
