Vagus nerve stimulation, low level laser therapy, and nutrition and diagnostic testing were among the hottest technology topics in 2022 among chiropractors, helping DCs provide another level of pain relief and whole-body care and healing.

“Digital laser foot scan, digital X-ray, MRI, cold laser therapy and spinal decompression — these are the technologies and new chiropractic diagnostic tests that will help any chiropractor become a better diagnostician and healer,” writes Tim Maggs, DC. “When you do an examination that provides visual evidence on a patient, including a digital laser foot scan and standing digital X-rays, you have a much greater influence over appropriate decision-making by the patient.”

The Top 5 technology articles from the Chiropractic Economics website in 2022 also included spinal decompression and mobilization, with an eBook focusing on case studies, research and the latest tech, where “FDA indications for use include relief from the major causes of mechanical back pain including lumbar disc herniation (protrusion), disc bulge, degenerative disc disease, facet syndrome, radiating leg pain, low back pain and localized back pain.”

BY CE STAFF
Integrate concepts in laser photon therapy: wavelength, frequency, speed of light, fluence, penetration, secondary and primary physiological influences; contrast the differences between thermal and non-thermal laser therapy; develop the relationship between mitochondria, free radicals, ATP, cytochrome c oxidase enzyme, and laser photon therapy, and more.

1. Vagus nerve stimulation and tech to treat chronic health conditions

BY NAVAZ HABIB, DC
Stimulation to the auricular branch fibers on the ear only provides access to 1% of the vagus nerve fibers found in the cervical trunk. Some cervical trunk devices have even been shown to significantly improve cognitive performance under sleep deprivation stress, and are used by the U.S. Air Force for their pilots (McIntire, 2021).
