Do I Need an MRI? by The Evidence Based Chiropractor
Many primary care doctors order MRI's immediately for patients with spine complaints. Did you know that research suggests the patients should be evaluated by a non-surgical spine physician first? For many local primary care doctors, we are that choice!

SPINE Recommending Maintenance Adjustments for Prevention?
In what may become a "landmark" study in research related to the practice of chiropractic, SPINE Journal emphatically recommends that maintenance (at a frequency of 2x month) adjustments to the lumbar spine may prevent future episodes of lumbar spine pain.
Pain (VAS Score) and disability (Oswestry) were reduced continually with the group receiving maintenance treatment. In conclusion they found that "we suggest that maintained SM is beneficial to patients with chronic nonspecific LBP particularly those who gain improvement after initial intensive manipulation to maintain the improved post-treatment pain and disability levels."
When powerful research such as this is produced for prescription medications, the pharm reps are banging down the door of every medical practitioner in country. However, aside from our promotion at The Evidence Based Chiropractor, I have not seen a single chiropractic organization mount a campaign which promotes this research to the public or to other medical providers.
Facebook, Google, Health Fairs, etc can all be good marketing for your practice. But do not neglect perhaps the most valuable outreach and referral generator of interdisciplinary referrals. We, as chiropractors, have an abundance of high quality research which needs to be promoted and not left dormant! This library of research will continue to build and it will be our task to make sure that others are aware of the value of our care.

Epidural Steroid Injections Increase Risk of Vertebral Fracture- A Review by The Evidence Based Chiropractor
The Evidence Based Chiropractor is the fast growing chiropractic marketing group in the profession. Find out the latest research regarding vertebral fracture and its link to epidural steroid injections.
Research recently came to light which shows an increased risk of vertebral fracture for patients whom had received lumbar epidural steroid injections.
The study, which appears in the Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, randomly selected 3,000 patients who had a lumbar epidural steroid injection and compared them to 3,000 patients who did not undergo the procedure. There were no significant differences between the groups regarding patient age, gender, corticosteroid use or hyperthyroidism, according to the study abstract.
Researchers found each successive injection increased fracture risk by a factor of 1.21. This is extremely important because many patients receive multiple ESI's (therefore increasing their risk of fracture).

Adjustments or Diskectomy for Sciatica? by The Evidence Based Chiropractor
Should Patients Use Chiropractic or Surgery for Sciatica?
Sciatica secondary to lumbar disc herniation is a condition which is seen everyday in chiropractic offices around the globe. Did you know that chiropractic adjustments/manipulation has shown to be just as effective at treating these patients as surgical intervention?
These researchers concluded that, "60% of patients with sciatica who had failed other medical management benefitted from spinal spinal manipulation to the SAME DEGREE as if they underwent surgical intervention."
Something not only to think about, but also to talk about!
