  1. Chiropractic And Pain Stephen M. Perle, D.C., M.S. Professor Of Clinical Sciences University Of BridgeportCollege Of Chiropractic

  2. What Experiences Do You Have About Chiropractic? Your impression?

  3. Précis • History of chiropractic • What is chiropractic care? • Systematic reviews on clinical effectiveness • Research on mechanism of spinal manipulation

  4. History Of Chiropractic The MTV Version

  5. What is chiropractic?

  6. Anachronistic Chiropractic TheoryBone Out Of Place

  7. Nonsurgical Spine Specialist • Primary intervention is spinal manipulation • Spinal rehabilitation/ stabilization exercises • Physiological therapeutics • Soft tissue mobilization

  8. Levels Of Evidence: Not All Hands Are Of Equal Value

  9. Mechanical Neck Pain Headache • Neither SMT nor mobilization (MOB) were effective alone or in combination with PT • SMT or MOB with exercise is effective Gross AR, Hoving JL, Haines TA, Goldsmith CH, Kay T, Aker P, et al. A Cochrane review of manipulation and mobilization for mechanical neck disorders. Spine. 2004 Jul 15;29(14):1541-8.

  10. Neck Pain • Bone and Joint Decade 2000-2010 Task Force on Neck Pain and Its Associated Disorders • 359 invasive and noninvasive intervention articles deemed relevant • 170 (47%) were accepted as scientifically admissible • 139 of these related to noninvasive interventions • Manipulation or mobilization effective for • WAD • Neck pain Hurwitz EL, Carragee EJ, van der Velde G, Carroll LJ, Nordin M, Guzman J, et al. Treatment of neck pain: noninvasive interventions: results of the Bone and Joint Decade 2000-2010 Task Force on Neck Pain and Its Associated Disorders. Spine. 2008 Feb 15;33(4 Suppl):S123-52.

  11. Chronic/Recurrent Headache • Prophylactic treatment of chronic tension-type headache • Amitriptyline more effective than SMT during treatment • SMT is superior in short term after cessation of both treatments • Prophylactic treatment of migraine headache • SMT may be an effective treatment option short-term effect similar to amitriptyline • Episodic tension-type headache • Adding SMT to massage is not effective Bronfort G, Nilsson N, Haas M, Evans R, goldsmith C, Assendelft W, et al. Non-invasive physical treatments for chronic/recurrent headache. Cochrane database Syst rev. 2004;3:cd001878

  12. Chronic/Recurrent Headache • Prophylactic treatment of cervicogenic headache • SMT is effective in the short and long term when compared to • No treatment • Massage or placebo SMT • Post-traumatic headache • MOB is more effective in the short term than cold packs Bronfort G, Nilsson N, Haas M, Evans R, goldsmith C, Assendelft W, et al. Non-invasive physical treatments for chronic/recurrent headache. Cochrane database Syst rev. 2004;3:cd001878

  13. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome • Carpal bone MOB significantly improved symptoms after three weeks • However, only one study O'Connor D, Marshall S, Massy-Westropp Non-surgical treatment (other than steroid injection) for carpal tunnel syndrome. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2003;(1):CD003219.

  14. Low Back Pain • 31 studies – 5,202 participants met inclusion criteria • Acute LBP • Moderate evidence that SMT provides more short-term pain relief than MOB and detuned diathermy, and limited evidence of faster recovery than a commonly used PT • Chronic LBP • Moderate evidence that SMT has an effect similar NSAID • SMT/MOB is effective in the short term when compared with placebo and GP care, and in the long term compared to physical therapy • Limited to moderate evidence that SMT is better than physical therapy and home back exercise in both the short and long term. Bronfort G, Haas M, Evans RL, Bouter LM. Efficacy of spinal manipulation and mobilization for low back pain and neck pain: a systematic review and best evidence synthesis. Spine J. 2004 May-Jun;4(3):335-56.

  15. New Review on Chronic LBP • Preponderance of the evidence for efficacy & estimated very low risk of serious adverse events support SMT & MOB as viable options for treatment of CLBP • SMT and MOB at least as effective as other efficacious & commonly used interventions Bronfort G, Haas M, Evans R, Kawchuk G, Dagenais S. Evidence-informed management of chronic low back pain with spinal manipulation and mobilization. Spine J. 2008 Jan-Feb;8(1):213-25.

  16. Nocturnal Enuresis • Weak evidence supports the use of chiropractic • Single small trial (31 treatment & 15 control group) • Better than sham manipulation Glazener CM, Evans JH, Cheuk DK. Complementary and miscellaneous interventions for nocturnal enuresis in children. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2005(2):CD005230.

  17. Primary Or Secondary Dysmenorrhea • No evidence of effectiveness of SMT • More research needed Proctor ML, Hing W, Johnson TC, Murphy PA. Spinal manipulation for primary and secondary dysmenorrhoea. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2001(4):CD002119.

  18. Asthma • No evidence of effectiveness of SMT • More research needed • Current RCT in Australia n=1000 Hondras MA, Linde K, Jones AP. Manual therapy for asthma. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2005(2):CD001002.

  19. Science Of Spinal Manipulation

  20. Interarticular Adhesions Rat Joint Dysfunction (Subluxation) Model Cramer GD, Fournier JT, Henderson CN, Wolcott CC. Degenerative changes following spinal fixation in a small animal model. J Manipulative Physiol Ther 2004;27(3):141-54.

  21. Manipulation Breaks Adhesions • Manipulation may increase flexibility of a motion segment • Single case with sophisticated assessment of motion segment stiffness Kawchuk G, Herzog W. Preliminary evidence of changes in tissue stiffness following spinal manipulation. In: International Conference on Spinal Manipulation; 1996: FCER; 1996. p. 18.

  22. Manipulation Breaks Adhesions Manipulation gaps the Z-joint Cramer GD, Gregerson DM, Knudsen JT, Hubbard BB, Ustas LM, Cantu JA. The effects of side-posture positioning and spinal adjusting on the lumbar Z joints: a randomized controlled trial with sixty-four subjects. Spine 2002;27(22):2459-66.

  23. Altered Muscle Firing Pattern • Transversus abdominis activated (diaphragm & pelvic mm) 30 ms prior to arm or leg movements • In LBP patients transversus abdominis activated 30 ms after arm or leg movements Hodges PW, Richardson CA. Delayed postural contraction of transversus abdominis in low back pain associated with movement of the lower limb. J Spinal Disord 1998;11(1):46-56.

  28. Restoration Of Firing Pattern Gill NW, Teyhen DS, Lee IE. Improved contraction of the transversus abdominis immediately following spinal manipulation: a case study using real-time ultrasound imaging. Man Ther. 2007 Aug;12(3):280-5.

  29. Effects On Pain & Pain Processing

  30. Manipulation’s Effects On CNS In Pain Modulation • Manipulation of the knee resulted in analgesia of induced hyperalgesia of the paw of a rat • Used selective neurotransmitter blocks • Manipulation activates descending inhibitory pathways using serotonin and noradrenaline

  31. Suggested Analgesic Mechanism • Authors suggest that manipulation stimulates • Lateral periaquaductal gray (PAG) • Rostral Ventral Medulla (RVM) • Dorsolateral pons • Part of the descending analgesia system Skyba DA et al. Joint manipulation reduces hyperalgesia by activation of monoamine receptors but not opioid or GABA receptors in the spinal cord. Pain. 2003 Nov;106(1-2):159-68.

  32. Stroke & Cervical Manipulation • Small risk of stroke following chiropractic visits • Risk of stroke after chiropractic visit = risk of stroke after medical visit • People with prodrome of stroke seek care Cassidy JD, et al. Risk of vertebrobasilar stroke and chiropractic care: results of a population-based case-control and case-crossover study. Spine. 2008 Feb 15;33(4 Suppl):S176-83.
