Disease relevance of Manipulation, Spinal

• There is no evidence tha indicates NSAID use is any more effective than cervical manipulation for neck pain [1].

High impact information on Manipulation, Spinal

• CONCLUSIONS: In children with mild or moderate asthma, the addition of chiropractic spinal manipulation to usual medical care provided no benefit [2].
• Spinal manipulation decreased muscle inhibition and increased elbow flexor strength at least in the short term [3].
• OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of a single spinal manipulation therapy (SMT) on the in vitro production of inflammatory cytokines, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interleukin (IL) 1beta, in relation to the systemic (in vivo) levels of neurotransmitter substance P (SP) [4].
• CONCLUSIONS: Because of the weakening lesion in C2, the spinal manipulation most likely caused the displaced odontoid fracture [5].
• INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was to investigate the hypoalgesic effects of a single spinal manipulation treatment on acute inflammatory reactions and pain induced by cutaneous application of capsaicin [6].

Associations of Manipulation, Spinal with chemical compounds

• CONCLUSIONS: Medicine-assisted spinal manipulation therapies have a relatively long history of clinical use and have been reported in the literature for over 70 years [7].
• INTERVENTION: One group received spinal manipulation for 2 weeks, the other was treated with the drug dimethicone for 2 weeks [8].
• METHODS: Student performance of cervical and thoracic spinal manipulation therapies were quantified at the beginning, middle, and end of a trimester using a Leader 900 Z series manipulation table (Leader International, Port Orchard, Wash) embedded with an AMTI force plate [9].

Gene context of Manipulation, Spinal

• Lumbar spinal manipulation on trial. Part I--clinical assessment [10].
• Plasma levels of SP before and after treatment in sham treated subjects did not differ significantly; however, elevated plasma SP was observed in subjects after spinal manipulation [11].
• Chiropractic spinal manipulation may have a positive effect in pain reduction and improved function in patients who have NF-1 without spinal instability [12].
