Abstract:
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of acute chiropractic adjustment in individuals who practice CrossFit with regard to complaints of low back pain and the joint range of motion in this region. Methods: A randomized clinical trial comprised of CrossFit practitioners from a box in Novo Hamburgo-RS, of both sexes and aged 18 to 40 years who had low back pain at the time of the study. The following tools were used: Semi-structured Anamnesis Questionnaire, Visual Analog Scale, McGill Pain Questionnaire, and SF-36 Quality of Life Questionnaire. Individuals in the control group answered the questionnaires before and after CrossFit training. The chiropractic group performed the same procedure, plus pre-training chiropractic adjustment and joint range of motion (ROM) before and after lumbar adjustment. Results: There was a significant increase in pain in the control group, and a significant decrease in pain in the chiropractic group, including one day after the chiropractic adjustment. In the chiropractic group, the joint ranges of motion had a significant increase in flexion and extension of the lumbar spine after chiropractic adjustment. Conclusion: The chiropractic group achieved a significant improvement in pain level and joint range of motion, suggesting that acute chiropractic adjustment was effective in reducing low back pain.

Abstract:
Daniel David Palmer (1845–1913) reputedly “discovered” chiropractic in 1895 when he performed the first “adjustment,” using spinal manipulation to restore hearing to an African American janitor named Harvey Lillard. Relegated to the fringes of American medical and religious orthodoxy for most of the twentieth century in part because of its metaphysical philosophy, today chiropractic is mainstream: its offices can be found in strip malls; medical insurance plans cover adjustments; and, in a dramatic readjustment of traditional cultural alignments, conservative Christians embrace chiropractic as a God-given method of pain relief.

Abstract:
This study assessed the effect of routine chiropractic care combined with a three-month strength and conditioning program on the physical performance of adolescent basketball players. Thirty-one male athletes, aged 16-19, from elite Chinese national basketball camps, were divided into experimental and control groups. All subjects received cervical adjustment one time per week done by a team chiropractor. The program aimed to enhance agility, muscular strength, endurance, and speed through professional training. Measurements were taken at baseline, at six weeks, and after twelve weeks, using tests such as the ¾ court sprint, box agility, 1RM back squat, 1RM bench press, 65kg bench press for maximum reps, and 17-line shuttle run. The experimental group showed significant improvements in all metrics except the box agility test, while the control group exhibited fewer substantial changes. Results indicate that structured strength and conditioning programs combined with chiropractic adjustment significantly enhance adolescent athletes’ physical performance. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. The study concludes that consistent chiropractic care and professionally supervised training are beneficial for adolescent athletes’ development, suggesting the integration of such programs into training routines for adolescent athletes to improve their physical capabilities and minimize injury risks.

Abstract:
Objective: We developed an adjusting bench with a force plate supporting the lumbar portion to measure loads transmitted during lumbar manual adjustment. It will be used to provide force-feedback to enhance student learning in technique labs. The study goal is to define the learning target loads and speeds, with instructors as expert models. Methods: A total of 11 faculty members experienced in teaching Gonstead technique methods performed 81 simulated adjustments on a mannequin on the force plate. Adjustments were along 9 lumbopelvic “listings” at 3 load levels: light, normal, and heavy. We analyzed the thrusts to find preload, peak load, duration, and thrust rate. Results: Analysis of 891 thrusts showed wide variations between doctors. Peak loads ranged from 100 to 1400 N. All doctors showed clear distinctions between peak load levels, but there was overlap between high and low loads. Thrust rates were more uniform across doctors, averaging 3 N/ms. Conclusion: These faculty members delivered a range of thrusts, not unlike those seen in the literature for high velocity, low amplitude manipulation. We have established at least minimum force and speed targets for student performance, but more work must be done to create a normative adjustment to guide refinement of student learning.

Abstract:
Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of chiropractic intervention on the severity of neck pain, functional capacity, and disability level in individuals with cervical disc herniation. Method: The study population comprised of 50 individuals with cervical disc herniation who met the inclusion criteria. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups: an intervention group (n=26) and a control group (n=24). All participants received conventional physiotherapy five days a week for four weeks. In the intervention group, in addition to conventional physiotherapy, chiropractic adjustment using a diversified technique for cervical disc herniation was applied twice a week for four weeks. The McGill Melzack Pain Questionnaire (MMPQ), the Neck Disability Index (NDI), and the Bournemouth Neck Questionnaire (BNQ) were employed to evaluate the neck pain, functionality, and disability levels of both groups before and after treatment. Findings: The combination of conventional physiotherapy and additional chiropractic intervention proved to be an effective approach for reducing neck pain and disability levels while enhancing functionality in individuals with cervical disc herniation post-treatment (p<0.001). Nevertheless, no notable discrepancies were discerned between the control and chiropractic intervention groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: The application of chiropractic principles and practices was observed to result in a notable diminution of both neck pain and disability levels among those presenting with cervical disc herniation, together with an enhancement of functional abilities. Therefore, this approach may be considered as a potential alternative to existing treatment options for the management of individuals with cervical disc herniation.

Abstract:
M.Tech.<br>OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine whether adjustment of the cervico-thoracic motion segment in individuals with altered or decreased motion at that segment, in conjunction with a strengthening protocol, had a greater increase in triceps brachii muscle strength compared to a strengthening protocol or chiropractic adjustment alone. By reducing the negative neural and other effects caused by aberrant movement between vertebra, chiropractic adjustment could allow the body’s muscle physiology to function at its best, thereby allowing it to adapt to changes more readily. DESIGN: Thirty subjects participated in this study. The subjects were randomly and without being aware of it, assigned to one of three groups. The only requirement for inclusion in the research was a restriction of the seventh cervical vertebra based on motion and static palpation. Patients in two of the groups were asked to perform tricep brachii muscle strengthening exercises and patients from two of the groups received chiropractic adjustment to the cervico-thoracic motion segment. Patients were seen a total of three times over a period of two weeks. MEASUREMENTS: Triceps brachii muscle strength testing was performed using an isometric dynamometer. Three pre-treatment readings and three post-treatment readings were performed, with one-minute intervals, on all the subjects. This was done to determine if there was a change before or after treatment and if there was a long-term effect. CONCLUSION: Although measurements were taken on each visit before and after each treatment, there was only a statistically significant difference in triceps brachii muscle strength between the experimental and the other two groups before treatment on the third visit. This does however; suggest that there was a favourable result and that a combination of treatments does indeed produce better results than one of the other treatments alone.

Abstract:
Dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Masters Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Technikon Natal, 1998.<br>The aim of this investigation was to determine which of two manipulative approaches would prove to be the more effective in terms of increased cervical range of motion and pain relief in the treatment of cervical facet syndrome. The rational for this study was the observation that whenever a supine lateral break was delivered to a lateral fixation in the cervical spine, the adjustment resulted in pain and discomfort due to the sub-optimal mechanics of the facets on the side of contact (Lewis, Jones, Penter: Personal Interview 1996; Bergman ]993 : 232). Thus, because up to 70% of a chiropractors patient base can present with cervical facet syndrome (Jones, Penter: Personal Interview 1996), there was a need to find a manipulative method that would be effective in the treatment of cervical facet syndrome in terms of increased cervical range of motion and pain relief It was hypothesized that by giving a rotatory adjustment on the ipsilateral side of a lateral fixation or a supine lateral break on the contra-lateral side of a lateral fixation, both treatments would be effective for cervical facet syndrome. The rationale being that by delivering these adjustments in the above described procedure, there would be an increase in the facet joint space as opposed to a decrease in the facet joint space which occurs when a lateral break adjustment is delivered on the same side of the lateral break. However, it was proposed in terms of subjective and objective findings, that the rotatory adjustment would be more effective than the supine lateral break<br>M

Abstract:
M. Tech.<br>Purpose: Many studies have shown the effect of treatment of the cervical spine on parts distant to the spine itself, which are linked anatomically, biomechanically or neurologically, e.g. the temporomandibular joint (Curl, 1994). Curl (1994) reports a neurological link between the cervical spine and the temporomandibular joint, and Reggars (1994) reports a biomechanical link between the temporomandibular joint and cervical spine. These links may affect the cervical spine when adjusting the temporomandibular joint. For these reasons, further study is necessary to establish the possibility of temporomandibular joint involvement in the formation of neck pain, and the possibility of chiropractic manipulative therapy delivered to the temporomandibular joint as a successful alternative treatment for neck pain. The purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustment of the temporomandibular joint, compared to cervical spine adjustment of the upper cervical spine as a treatment form for neck pain, with regards to pain, disability and cervical spine range of motion. Method: This study consisted of two groups of 15 participants between the ages of eighteen to thirty-five, similar in age and gender ratios. The potential participants were examined and accepted according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The method of treatment administered to each participant was determined by group allocation. Group 1 received chiropractic adjustment techniques delivered to the temporomandibular joint and group 2 received cervical spine adjustment techniques delivered to restrictions of the upper cervical spine.

Abstract:
M.Tech.<br>Purpose: This study was undertaken in order to demonstrate the effects of static magnetic field therapy on acupuncture points in the treatment of those suffering from mechanical neck pain. Isolated spinal manipulative therapy of the cervical spine was compared to spinal manipulative therapy of the cervical spine in conjunction with magnetic field therapy on acupuncture points using both objective and subjective measurements. Before the execution of this study, it was hypothesised that both treatment protocols would be effective in the treatment of mechanical neck pain, although the combined therapy would be more effective. Method: Patients were recruited by way of advertisements placed in and around the University of Johannesburg, Doornfontein campus and their health clinic. Thirty patients with mechanical neck pain were recruited and randomly divided into two groups. Group one received manipulation to the affected joints of the cervical spine and group two received manipulation to the cervical spine combined with magnetic field therapy on acupuncture points. Procedure: Each patient in each group attended six treatment sessions; three in the first week and three in the second week. The Vernon Mior Neck Pain and Disability Index and the Numerical Pain Rating Scale (subjective measurements) were completed by each patient and the Cervical Range of Motion instrument (objective measurements) was used to collect readings from each patient in both the control and experimental groups, subjective and objective measurements were taken before treatment one, three and six. Specific treatment protocols were then adhered to. Results: The results indicated that both treatment protocols were effective in reducing mechanical neck pain although not one group was more effective than VI the other. Both groups improved subjectively and objectively as they had cervical spinal manipulation directed at joint dysfunction. Conclusion: The experimental group who received spinal manipulative therapy to correct joint dysfunction in conjunction with magnetic field therapy on acupuncture points was not more effective than the control group who received spinal manipulation only, in the treatment of mechanical neck pain.

In congruence with the above authors Katz (1996), Gatterman (2004) and Murphy (2000), Morningstar, Pettibon, Schlappi, Schlapp and Ireland (2005) further stated that the postural reflexes can be subcategorised as the following: visual righting reflex, labyrinthine righting reflexes, neck righting reflexes, body on head righting reflexes and body on body righting reflexes. Each of these neurological mechanisms plays a role in balance / equilibrium. Furthermore it has been shown that spinal manipulative therapy has an effect on neurological systems. Therefore it stands to reason that spinal manipulative therapy may have an effect on balance or equilibrium.

Full text
Abstract:
The first documented case of improved hearing following chiropractic adjustment was by D.D. Palmer in 1895 in which he restored Harvey Lillard’s hearing. Mr Lillard had been deaf for seventeen years. This brought about the birth of a new profession called chiropractic (Terrett 2002). It has been postulated that dysfunction or spinal joint motion restrictions of the cervical spine may lead to irritation of the sympathetic nervous system which may cause decreased blood flow to the auditory nerve via the labyrinthine artery (also known as the internal acoustic artery or internal auditory artery), which in turn may lead to a decrease in hearing acuity (Hawley 1964). The purpose of the dissertation was to determine whether cervical spine joint adjustment had an effect on the hearing acuity in individuals with some level of sensorineural hearing loss. Thirty symptomatic patients of either gender participated in this study. These patients were recruited by the use of advertisements placed in the Chiropractic Day Clinic, University of Johannesburg, Doornfontein Campus and by word of mouth. The inclusion criteria required the patients to present with some level of sensorineural hearing loss, be over the age of fifty years and have no contra-indications to chiropractic adjustments. Objective data was obtained by the Interacoustics Diagnostics Audiometer AD 229b, which determined the level of auditory acuity before and after chiropractic treatment was administered. Middle ear function and acoustic reflex was also tested with the GSI 38 Auto Tymp acoustic reflex machine. The objective results demonstrated that there was no statistically significant increase in auditory acuity following either the chiropractic treatment, or the detuned ultrasound treatment. In conclusion, it was shown that chiropractic adjustments in some patients presenting with sensorineural hearing loss, in the same subjects, exhibited a clinical improvement in hearing acuity however, not a statistically significant improvement following the treatment protocol discussed in the chapters that follow. These improvements suggested that the adjustment resulted in a decrease in sympathetic nervous system stimulation and an increase in blood flow through the labyrinthine artery, and therefore an increase in auditory acuity. These improvements were noted to a larger degree in individuals with a greater sensorineural hearing loss and not across the entire sample population.<br>Dr. M. Moodley Dr. S.M. Wilcox

Abstract:
A dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for a Master's Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Technikon Natal,1997.<br>Asthma, one of the most frustrating medical conditions known to man, has been a thorn in the side of physicians world wide. A condition that seems to consist of all exceptions and no rules has resulted in endless debates regarding the correct treatment protocol for its management, which at present only seem to subdue the patient's symptomatology rather than eliminate them. The ever increasing number of asthmatic sufferers and the increasing number of deaths related to asthma are both reflections of the inadequacy of present treatment protocols and therefore demonstrate the need for their revision. It is thus the aim of this study to ascertain the therapeutic efficacy of spinal adjustive procedures a n the management of asthma. Patients were obtained for this study by consecutive sampling, whereby any patients presenting to the Chiropractic Clinic at Technikon Natal, as a response to the newspaper adverts and pamphlets placed ln the greater Durban area, were considered for the study. Of these patients, only those who conformed to the specified delimitations and diagnostic criteria were accepted. The study was divided into 3 distinct periods. The first, called the baseline study, required the entire sample of 30 patients to undergo subjective and objective tests, whilst receiving no chiropractic treatment, in order to establish the patients' astrunatic condition. The second period, called the initial treatment period, required the entire sample to undergo further subjective and objective testing while receiving chiropractic treatment, which comprised soft tissue therapy and adjustments of fixations in the CO-C2 and T2-T7 areas.<br>M

Abstract:
The first chapter relates the story of the discovery of chiropractic by D. D. Palmer in the mid-1890s, and discusses the meaning of the history of their profession to chiropractors. It traces the history of ideas behind early chiropractic theory and introduces two main themes as important to the emergence of alternative medicine in the nineteenth century: vitalism and populism. Vitalist ideas run the spectrum from mostly rooted in science to highly theological. D. D. Palmer understood chiropractic as a science, but he incorporated metaphysical spiritual ideas to create Chiropractic Philosophy. This chapter also proposes chiropractic as part of an American cultural tradition of popular physiology, that rejects elite medical authorities and claims the right to choose one’s health care as an essential democratic right. D. D. Palmer was suspicious of higher education and elite knowledge, which he emulated and rejected in creating chiropractic. Palmer’s writing shows him to be a populist intellectual of a type distinctive to the Progressive Era.

Many treatments have been suggested for ADHD over the years. The effectiveness of some of the most commonly considered treatments, other than psychotherapy and medication, are discussed in this chapter. These include omega-3 supplementation, other diets or supplements, cognitive rehabilitation, neurofeedback, mindfulness training, and coaching. Omega-3 supplementation for children is the only one that has proven benefits. More research is needed on the others. Ineffective and unproven treatments are also mentioned, including acupuncture, chiropractic adjustment, interactive metronome training, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, sensory integration training, vision therapy, massage, mirror feedback, vestibular/cerebellar exercises and homeopathy.

Abstract:
Chiropractic Biophysics® (CBP®) technique is a full-spine and posture correcting method that incorporates mathematical principles into a unique approach to treat spinal disorders. It considers that the identification of postural rotations and translations of human postures are first evaluated and compared to the radiographic assessment of the spine alignment. Mirror image® postural positions and movements are utilized including spinal extension positions to improve the spine and posture towards a normal/ideal alignment. Specifically, corrective exercises, corrective traction and chiropractic adjustments are performed encompassing a multimodal rehabilitation program with the goal of improving the posture and spine alignment. CBP Rehabilitation programs are typically performed in-office with supportive at-home measures. Repeat assessment including radiographs are used to quantify and monitor structural improvements. CBP technique is an evidence-based approach to treat spine deformities and is supported by all forms of clinical evidence including systematic literature reviews, randomized controlled trials, non-randomized controlled trials, case reports/series as well as is supported by biomechanical posture-spine coupling validity, radiographic and posture analysis reliability/repeatability and use of a validated biomechanical spinal model as the outcome goal of care. CBP technique is a proven method to improve pain, disability and quality of life in those with structural deformities.
