Fernandina Beach Back Pain Patients Favorite Question: Why? Research Answers

Our Fernandina Beach chiropractic clients want to know “why”! Why do I have back pain?Why do I keep getting back pain? Outstanding questions that may oftentimes be answered with examination findings aligned with research-documented findings. Research can help illuminate that, and Amelia Chiropractic Clinic works to keep abreast of the latest (with a healthy gratitude of the older!)  research to communicate with you! Let Amelia Chiropractic Clinic work with you to get some understanding as to why you suffer with spine-related pain…and how we can get some relief of chronic back pain.

RESEARCHERS CALL FOR “WHY” MANUAL THERAPY WORKS

Today’s medical literature and researchers are requesting more information on ‘why” manual therapy is successful beyond recent studies supportive of the peripheral, segmental spinal, and supraspinal mechanisms which can be measured. A group of researchers analyzed published reviews of other studies involving the mechanism of how manual therapy affects a body. They uncovered support for neurovascular, neurological, and neuropeptide/neuroimmune changes as well as the effectiveness of pain reduction with manual therapy. (1) All of these discoveris are great! They want to understand more.

RESEARCH ON THE “WHY” OF COX® TECHNIC OUTCOMES

Amelia Chiropractic Clinic appreciates the efforts of a group of researchers who have been studying the “why” of Cox® Technic treatment protocols and beneficial results. At the ACC-RAC annual chiropractic research meeting this past March 2025, two platform abstracts were presented on Cox® Technic studies. One showed the ability to measure lumbar spinous process movement with ultrasound during the delivery of flexion distraction manipulation. The researchers noted separation of the spinous process at L3L4, L4L5, L5S1 levels. (2) The second one discussed how they are able to measure the forces delivered during the Cox Technic FDD spinal manipulation in a patient whose low back pain and leg pain were alleviated. (3) The more measurements done, the more understanding of “why” something works will come! We are so excited to share with our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients!

FOLLOWING GUIDELINES

Another group of researchers plan to test how implementing guidelines from the American College of Physicians for Low Back Pain may boost the treatment of low back pain. The guideline has been around for a long time, but it’s not been implemented. A study has been approved by multiple Institutional Review Boards: Duke, Dartmouth, University of Iowa, and Advarra.  The first line treatment recommended is non-pharmacological interventions like spinal manipulation (which is chiropractic forte!) and exercise. (4) Amelia Chiropractic Clinic looks forward to this study’s outcomes! It is time!
