A release by the Foundation for Chiropractic Progress (F4CP) cites new studies showing that chiropractic care is not only more effective for helping people suffering from lower back problems, but is also more affordable. The F4CP release dated, April 08, 2013, cites the results of two recent studies documenting the chiropractic advantage for patients with lower back problems.
Gerard Clum, D.C., spokesperson for the F4CP commented on one of the studies by saying, “Chiropractic care is a cost-effective, evidence-based approach that is well-documented for its outstanding patient outcomes and satisfaction scores.” The study he referenced was published on April 1, 2013 in the medical journal Spine, which found that spinal manipulation (as the study authors termed it) was significantly better than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac and clinically superior to placebo for patients with acute non-specific low back pain. Dr. Clum added, “When used as a primary treatment option for back pain, chiropractic can boost avoidance of risky and costly measures, and promote equal or greater clinical outcomes.”
The second study referenced by the F4CP release was published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological  Therapeutics in January 2013. The study titled, “Aging baby boomers and the rising cost of chronic back pain: secular trend analysis of longitudinal Medical Expenditures Panel Survey data for years 2000 to 2007,” showed that with the common (medical) care of chronic lower back problems the costs will continue to escalate. The author concluded, “The prevalence of back pain, especially chronic back pain, is increasing. To the extent that the growth in chronic back pain is caused, in part, by an aging population, the growth will likely continue or accelerate. With relatively high cost per adult with chronic back pain, total expenditures associated with back pain will correspondingly accelerate under existing treatment patterns.”
The F4CP makes the point that utilization of chiropractic care presents opportunities for improved patient outcomes and decreased costs. Dr. Clum emphasizes the point that chiropractic would lower the cost of chronic lower back care as well as overall healthcare by saying, “To improve the system, it will be essential that patient care approaches with clinical and economic advantages — such as chiropractic care — be the focal point of progressive healthcare and health policy discussions.”

On February 11, 2013, a study was published in the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health, documenting the case of a woman being helped with post pregnancy pelvic pain. In this case the woman was suffering from “osteitis pubis”, which is a noninfectious inflammation of the pubis symphysis (the pubis bone in the front of the pelvis), causing varying amounts of lower abdominal and pelvic pain.
The authors note that the incidence of osteitis pubis is not well known, but that one in seven women with the diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain had an undetermined cause and were typically treated with rest and pelvic stability support belts.
In this case a  32 year old woman was referred to a chiropractor from her OBGYN.  She had been suffering from chronic pubis symphysis pain which began two years earlier in the last trimester of her first pregnancy. The pain somewhat relieved after her first pregnancy. The authors report that the woman’s pain intensified during her second pregnancy and remained 2 months following delivery. 
When asked to rate her pain on a 1-10 scale, the woman stated it was between 7 and 10 with 10 being the worst. Her pain was aggravated by normal activities such as standing, walking, walking up stairs, and rolling over in bed.
A chiropractic examination was performed which included palpation of the woman’s lumbar spine, sacrum, and pelvic bones. The examination showed that there was a restriction in the left sacro-illiac joint (SI) resulting in a limited range of motion.  The examination also showed tenderness over this SI joint.  Specific postural x-rays were taken noting malposition of the pelvic bones.
A determination was made that subluxations were present of the woman’s pelvis and a series of specific chiropractic adjustments were initiated to correct them. In a short amount of time the woman’s pain rating went from 7-10 to a 4-5 and remained at that level for a time. Exercises were added to her care plan and the pain eventually completely disappeared, at which time she was able to resume a normal exercise routine. A one year follow-up reported that the woman was still completely free of the pain.

The study authors note that “Among children between the ages of 5-15 years, the prevalence of migraine headaches are at 10.6% while among those 15-19 years of age, it is as high as 28%.”

According to the Headache Classification Subcommittee of the International Headache Society, Migraine headaches usually are one sided affecting one half of the head and pulsating in nature, lasting from 2 to 72 hours. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, photophobia (increased sensitivity to light), phonophobia (increased sensitivity to sound) and the pain is generally aggravated by physical activity. Up to one-third of people with migraine headaches perceive an aura: a transient visual, sensory, language, or motor disturbance which signals that the headache will soon occur.
In this case a 16 year old girl went to the chiropractor, with the consent of her parents, suffering from migraine headaches without aura.  Her history revealed that she had been suffering migraines since kindergarten, and with headaches for as long as she could remember. She described her headaches as a throbbing pain located in the frontal area, with these attacks occurring at a rate of 1-2 per week, and lasting approximately 2-3 hours per episode, occurring primarily at night.  Since puberty her headaches seemed to have gotten worse.  Over the years she had been prescribed approximately 15 different medications for her headaches.
A chiropractic examination and x-rays were performed. The examination showed postural abnormalities with the girl’s head being tilted to one side, and the range of motion of her neck was restricted. Additional abnormal alignment findings were also noted from her examination. The specific x-rays taken showed spinal vertebrae in the upper neck being malpositioned, which were determined to be subluxations in her neck.
A specific plan of correction for the subluxations was begun. The study authors noted that the results were immediate.  They recorded, “On the day following the patient’s first visit, the patient reported noticing ‘some’ improvement in the intensity of her HA complaint. On her second visit and 5 days since her initial visit, the patient indicated no subjective complaints of headache that day.”
Chiropractic checkups occurred regularly over a 5 year period to monitor the girls progress. The authors noted that, “According to the patient, her HA intensity being bearable without the need for medication and her headache attacks abated to approximately 2-4 migraines per month.”

A case series was published in the Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research, on February 28, 2013, documenting the improvement of a series of patients with Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis, (DISH). It is also known as “Forestier’s disease.” 
According to the Mayo Clinic’s website, “Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH) is calcification or a bony hardening of ligaments in areas where they attach to your spine.” The Mayo clinic also notes that, “The most common symptoms are mild to moderate pain and stiffness in your upper back. DISH can be progressive. As it worsens, DISH can cause serious complications.”
In this case series the authors reported on 4 men with DISH ranging in age from 57 to 65 years.  All four men suffered with pain at the neck and lower back or hip.  Additionally, all four were either overweight or obese, and one of the four was a diabetic. All four men suffered from hypertension.
Upon seeking chiropractic care the average pain rating for these men using a 1 to 10 scale with 10 being the worst, was an 8.5.  The examinations revealed no contraindications to chiropractic care, and corrective care was given on all four men for corrections of subluxations determined by examinations and x-rays.
The authors reported that in three of the four cases the men’s pain was resolved with chiropractic care. In the one other case the patient had improved to where his pain had decreased to being rated as a 3-4, before he voluntarily discontinued care due to lack of his insurance covering the care. During the 11 month period of the study it was noted that the benefits of the chiropractic care remained.
Based upon the positive results of this study, the authors concluded, “There is ample literature on the benefits of chiropractic care for neck and back pain but there is little literature on chiropractic care for patients with DISH. Chiropractic is likely beneficial for patients with DISH and further investigation is warranted.”

A case study published on February 18, 2013 in the Journal of Pediatric, Maternal & Family Health, documented the improvement of a young girl suffering from chronic sinusitis, constipation, and  chronic sore throat. The study authors start off by noting that, “Chronic rhinosinusitis is described as a disruption of normal sinus fluid production and outflow which can be due to anatomical, physiological, immunological or infectious conditions.”
In this case a 9 year old girl  was brought to the chiropractor suffering from sinusitis, constipation and a sore throat. Her mother reported that the reason she brought her daughter to the chiropractor was that her child was sick every two months, and that this had been happening since her daughter was 6 years old. It was reported that the girl had trouble sleeping due to her problems as it took between 45 and 60 minutes a night for her to fall asleep.
A chiropractic examination was performed and revealed a head tilt with her shoulders being uneven. Her neck showed some restricted ranges of motion. Palpation of the girl’s spine showed multiple areas of malpositioning, tenderness and restricted spinal motion. Thermal scans of the patient’s spine also revealed imbalances. A determination was made of the presence of subluxations and a specific course of adjustments was initiated.
The results in this case showed that by the fourth visit the young girl no longer had a fever, which was previously at the level of 101.2 degrees. Her bowels had improved and sleeping was better, but she still had trouble falling asleep. By the fifth adjustment her sinuses were improved and her bowel movements were returning to normal. Additionally, her mother stated that her daughter would usually get sick on vacation but reported that she did well on a recent trip.
Approximately 2 months after the chiropractic care was initiated, it was reported that the child was feeling better overall, her bowel movements were normal, she was sleeping better,  and she had not developed a sore throat since her initial visit.  The mother even reported that a slight case of congestion that her daughter did have did not develop into an infection which was previously a regular occurrence. 
The authors note in their findings that, “This case report has discussed the chiropractic care of a child who presented with sinusitis, constipation and sore throat. Symptoms were improved following a total of 12 chiropractic visits and were correlated with reduction of vertebral subluxation. This case provides further evidence that chiropractic care is effective in treating non-musculoskeletal related conditions although more research is needed to further substantiate these findings.”

A 76-year-old woman suffering from Muscular Dystrophy (MD), headaches, vertigo, and hypertension, was helped by chiropractic. The recovery was documented in a case study that appeared in the January 31,2013, issue of the Annuls of Vertebral Subluxation Research. The study authors describing MD said, “Muscular Dystrophy refers to a group of genetic diseases characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal or voluntary muscles which control movement.” 
In this case, a 76-year-old woman came to the chiropractor  after having had a household fall.  Before her fall, she had been diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy and had been suffering from vertigo, hypertension, and headaches. A chiropractic examination was performed which included electronic muscle testing, postural assessment, range of motion, and specific spinal x-rays. Based on these tests, the presence of subluxation was determined.
The authors describe the purpose of chiropractic care in this case by saying, “The rationale for the use of chiropractic care in this case was to correct subluxations. Structural correction of the spine by the correction of subluxations was sought out in this case in accordance with the ‘normal spinal model’.”
When the patient first came to the chiropractic office, she was antalgic because of her pain and was carried into the office. The patient’s overall health status was assessed utilizing an SF-36 form, which is a standard form that measures many areas of a patient’s quality of life. Objective improvement measurements were made using surface electromyography , thermography, electronic muscle testing,and postural assessment.The results documented in the study showed that after one month of care, the patient reported an improvement in overall pain levels, as well as a decrease in vertigo. After 6 weeks, she was able to get off all  blood pressure medication. The woman continued to improve as it was reported that after 2 months of care, the patient had increased muscle strength.  Ultimately,after 4 months of care, the patient reported a near complete absence of all symptoms.The authors’ conclusion summed up the case by saying, “The onset of the pain following a fall at home brought the patient into the office seeking pain relief. Her care was designed for the reduction of subluxation, which also manifested in the reduction in pain symptoms. The patient experienced a complete absence of all neurological symptoms following 4 months of chiropractic care. This suggests a link between subluxation, poor posture, and abnormal neurological conditions.”

Breastfeeding difficulties are typically characterized by an inability of the infant to exercise the normal innate suckling reflex.

File:Breastfeeding.jpgThe authors discuss the importance of breastfeeding by noting, ”Infants that are breastfed are 50% less likely to experience acute otitis media if breastfed for at least 3-6 months, they are 40% less likely to have asthma even with a familial history and also those exclusively breastfed for at least 4 months were 3 times less likely to suffer severe respiratory tract infections.”

In this case, an eight-week-old infant girl was brought to the chiropractor with the inability to suck properly and with difficulty breastfeeding since birth. The infant was also born with hip dysplasia, and was wearing a soft brace which was being adjusted by the orthopedist weekly. The infant’s mother was advised by her lactation consultant to see a chiropractor for her daughter’s difficulties with breastfeeding.

During a chiropractic examination,it was noted that the infant was in distress due to the hip dysplasia. The examination showed head tilt and other imbalances along with positive indicators for abnormal neurological reflexes. These findings, along with palpation of the spine,led to the conclusion that subluxations were present affecting nerve system function.

Specific chiropractic adjustments were initiated to correct the subluxations. The authors noted that, “The goals for continued treatment were to restore function to allow the patient to latch on and breastfeed without distress.”  On the third visit, the infant’s mother brought her lactation consultant to observe. The authors reported that the infant showed continual improvement to the point where she was able to normally breastfeed by the third chiropractic adjustment.

In their conclusion the authors explain, “The normal newborn is neurologically equipped to     breastfeed from his mother and it must be considered that biomechanical disruptions can alter this process. The benefits of breastfeeding are well established. It is an essential physiological process that provides not only nutrition but protects the infant from infection and builds the strength of the newborn’s immune system.”  They sum this case up by saying, “In this case the infant responded favorably to chiropractic care. After the third adjustment  was given, successful breastfeeding was established and this continued throughout infancy.”

Super Bowl 47 featured the Baltimore Ravens against the San Francisco 49ers. In this game, San Francisco staged a valiant comeback but fell short and the Baltimore Ravens became thechampions.

In the February 3, 2013, edition of the Capital Gazette, one such article talked about how their team may have an advantage by saying,“The Baltimore Ravens will be playing with the benefit of a ‘performance enhancer’ in tonight’s Super Bowl.” The author, Tina Reed, a staff writer
of the article in the Annapolis, Maryland publication continued, “It wont be picked up in any testing. It hasnt been banned from the NFL.”

Reed was referring to the fact that Dr. Alan K. Sokoloff, a chiropractor, would be on the sidelines adjusting the players. In the article Dr. Sokoloff explained, “A lot of people think chiropractors just crack backs, but a team chiropractor in the NFL can do so much more involving performance enhancement.”

The Ravens were not the only team in the Super Bowl to have the benefit of chiropractic. The Hunterdon County Democrat also ran a story on January 29, 2013, reporting on a chiropractor, Dr.
Jody Serra, who traveled with the San Francisco 49ers to help their team try to win it all.

Dr. Serra was quoted in the article talking about how the players understand the value of chiropractic care. “They realize the benefits of having their bodies balanced before competing.” He continued and expressed his enthusiasm for being at the games, “I love to be involved with these guys and Im always rooting for the teams I treat.”

In the case of the 49ers, the article pointed out that most of the team’s starting players get adjusted at
their hotel the day before a game. The article also noted that chiropractic care for athletes is widespread well beyond just these two teams, or even football players in general. “Professional athletes in many sports use chiropractic care to help them perform at their peak.”

journal Spine on December 12, 2012, showed that patients who went to a
chiropractor first with a back injury were less like to have surgery then those
who went to an orthopedic surgeon. Articles on the study also appeared in the
January 22, 2013, issue of the Monthly Prescribing Reference, as well as in a
Business Wire release on Jan 08, 2013, by the Foundation for Chiropractic
Progress (F4CP).

The study, titled “Early Predictors of Lumbar Spine
Surgery after Occupational Back Injury: Results from a Prospective Study of
Workers in Washington State,” reviewed the records of patients in
Washington state who had returned to work after a work-related back injury.
Researchers looked at the claims of 1,885 workers for up to three years after
the initial claim to see how many resulted in spinal surgery. The results
showed that 174 (9.2%) of the people returning to work after a back injury had
lumbar spine surgery within 3 years. Using this, the researchers wanted to see
what factors affected the rate of these surgeries.

In a January 8, 2013, release by the
Foundation for Chiropractic Progress, spokesperson and chiropractor Dr. Gerard
Clum discussed the study results by saying, “In total, 42.7 percent of
workers who initially visited a surgeon underwent surgery, in contrast to only
1.5 percent of those who first consulted a chiropractor.” He noted that
the study was conducted by a collaboration of prestigious institutions
including Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College, University of
Washington School of Public Health, University of Washington School of
Medicine, Ohio State University College of Public Health, and the Washington
State Department of Labor and Industries.

The researchers also noted the
significant difference between patients who first went to the chiropractor by
stating in their conclusion, “There was a very strong association between
surgery and first provider seen for the injury, even after adjustment for other
important variables.”

“Back injuries are the most
prevalent occupational injury in the U.S., and care is commonly associated with
one of the most costly treatments – spine surgery. Chiropractic is clearly the
most appropriate first treatment option for patients with back pain, and this
study confirms the value,” reports Dr. Clum. “As more data continues
to surface touting the benefits of chiropractic care — lower costs, less risks
and higher satisfaction rates — I expect that patients and practitioners will
move toward considering chiropractic first, medicine second, and surgery
last.”

A study to be released in the April 2013 issue of the Journal of Consumer Research shows that consumers generally believe that more expensive medicine is safer than medicines costing less. Articles on the pre-released study appeared in Science Daily on January 4, 2013, and December 11, 2012, as well as on Futurity on January 7, 2013. 
Researchers noted that prior studies showed that consumers believe that items that cost more are of better quality. Additionally, studies have shown that people believe that more expensive medicine is more effective. However, they point out that no research has looked at people’s perception of the safety of medications as it relates to the price of the medicine.
In one part of the study one group of consumers were told that a flu vaccination costs $25, while another group were told that the vaccinations would cost $125. Both groups were told that the vaccinations would be covered by insurance. The study showed that the group that was told the higher price felt that they were less likely to get the flu.
Janet Schwartz, study co-author and assistant professor of marketing at Tulane’s A.B. Freeman School of Business commented, “Your chance of winning at blackjack has nothing to do with how big the payout is and most people know that,” Schwartz says. “But when it comes to understanding what prices reflect for medicine, people look at the price and they do think that it somehow tells them something about their own risk of getting a disease. In reality, those two factors are completely independent.”
The researchers also concluded that consumers erroneously believe that higher medical prices mean that this is less of a need while lower prices suggest that the medical need is greater and therefore the price is more accessible. “Price and risk should be very independent from one another, when you think about consumers making informed health care choices”, stated Janet Schwartz.
The study authors concluded, “Low prices for life-saving products may increase perception of risk and intention to consume care, even when unnecessary. However, high prices may make consumers feel less at risk, and thereby less likely to seek beneficial treatments. In short, prices may influence how consumers seek medical care in a way that doesn’t accurately reflect real risk.”
