Safety of SMT in the Cervical Spine & Chiropractors’ Beliefs Around the Need for X-rays
CF 277: Safety of SMT in the Cervical Spine & Chiropractors’ Beliefs Around the Need for X-rays
Today we’re going to talk about the safety of SMT in the cervical spine & Chiropractors’ beliefs around the need for x-rays.
But first, here’s that sweet sweet bumper music
Purchase Dr. Williams’s book, a perfect educational tool and chiropractic research reference for the daily practitioner, from the Amazon store TODAY!
OK, we are back and you have found the Chiropractic Forward Podcast where we are making evidence-based chiropractic fun, profitable, and accessible while we make you and your patients better all the way around. We’re the fun kind of research. Not the stuffy, high-brow, look down your nose at people kind of research. We’re research talk over a couple of beers. I’m Dr. Jeff Williams and I’m your host for the Chiropractic Forward podcast. I’m so glad you’re spending your time with us learning together. Chiropractors – I’m hiring at my personal clinic. I need talent, ambition, drive, smart, and easy to get along with associates. If this is you and Amarillo, TX is your speed, send me an email at [email protected] If you haven’t yet I have a few things you should do.
You have found yourself smack dab in the middle of Episode 277 Now if you missed last week’s episode, we talked about Subacromial Dry Needling & Lumbar Discs With Stenosis Present. Make sure you don’t miss that info. Keep up with the class.
On the personal end of things…..
I have just returned from the Tampa mastermind meeting so this likely will be shorter than normal. Mostly because after I’ve been gone a few days, the stuff has piled up and I’m usually tied up trying to get my desk cleared off and back to business as usually. The youz as the kids would say. Tampa was good stuff, we had a talk from the Scheduling Institute and I was really impressed.
Wow.
I think this is a path I need to be going down and I think that path should start yesterday. Eye opening is just the most minimal way to put it. We have hot seat sessions where one of us sits in the middle and tells the group their issues then the entire group asks questions and tries to offer help and advice to solve and move past those problems.
We have Each One Teach One sessions to help learn what’s working for others in their practices. Kevin Christie and myself presented a 30 minute spot on ChatGPT.
Lindsey Mumma did one on niching your practice. And Ben Fergus did one on automating his front desk and check-in procedures. He’s done a lot of interesting things with his practice. Again, get yourself into a Mastermind or create one. It’s outstanding. Kevin is looking to maybe start another, separate group for the West Coast and Mountain area so keep your eyes and ears out. We’ll probably have Kevin on the podcast in the near future talking about that as well. Let’s get at it.
Item #1
The first one today is called “Safety of chiropractic manipulation of the cervical spine: a prospective national survey” by Haymo W Thiel, Jennifer E Bolton, Sharon Docherty, Jane C Portlock and published in PUBMED on October 1, 2007.
Why They Did It
To estimate the risk of serious and relatively minor adverse events following chiropractic manipulation of the cervical spine by a sample of U.K. chiropractors.
How They Did It
What They Found
Wrap It Up
Although minor side effects following cervical spine manipulation were relatively common, the risk of a serious adverse event, immediately or up to 7 days after treatment, was low to very low. Before getting to the next one, I have to tell you, Dr. Chris Howson, the inventor of the Drop Release tool re-activated the code! Use the code HOTSTUFF upon purchase at droprelease.com & get $50 off your purchase. Would you like to spend 5-10 minutes doing pin and stretch and all of that? Or would you rather use a drop release to get the same or similar results in just a handful of seconds. I love it, my patients love it, and I know yours will too. droprelease.com and the discount code is HOTSTUFF. Go do it.
Item #2
Our last one this week is called, “Examining Clinical Opinion and Experience Regarding Utilization of Plain Radiography of the Spine: Evidence from Surveying the Chiropractic Profession” by Philip A. Arnone, Steven J. Kraus, Derek Farmen, Douglas F. Lightstone, Jason Jaeger 4 and Christine Theodossis and published in Journal of Clinical Medicine on 10 March 2023. Hot potato!
Why They Did It
How They Did It
What They Found
Wrap It Up
Alright, that’s it. Keep on keepin’ on. Keep changing our profession from your corner of the world. The world needs evidence-based, patient-centered practitioners driving the bus. The profession needs us in the ACA and involved in leadership of state associations. So quit griping about the profession if you’re doing nothing to make it better. Get active, get involved, and make it happen. Let’s get to the message. Same as it is every week.
Store Remember the evidence-informed brochures and posters at chiropracticforward.com.
Purchase Dr. Williams’s book, a perfect educational tool and chiropractic research reference for the daily practitioner, from the Amazon store TODAY!
The Message
I want you to know with absolute certainty that when Chiropractic is at its best, you can’t beat the risk vs reward ratio because spinal pain is primarily a movement-related pain and typically responds better to movement-related treatment rather than chemical treatments like pills and shots.
When compared to the traditional medical model, research and clinical experience show us patients can get good to excellent results for headaches, neck pain, back pain, and joint pain to name just a few.
It’s safe and cost-effective can decrease surgeries & disability and we do it through conservative, non-surgical means with minimal hassle to the patient.
And, if the patient treats preventatively after initial recovery, we can usually keep it that way while raising the overall level of health!
Key Point:
At the end of the day, patients should have the guarantee of having the best treatment that offers the least harm. When it comes to non-complicated musculoskeletal complaints….
That’s Chiropractic!
