manipulation
There was an interesting article published last month in the Journal of the American Medical Association. It was a research study into the effectiveness of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) for acute low back pain. The outcome of the study was very positive. What was really great (from our point of view) was the editorial encouraging medical doctors to refer patients with back pain for manipulative treatment. It was encouraging to see such a cooperative attitude towards the chiropractic profession. Thanks to Dr Richard Deyo MD, MPH!

Rats have spines too – and they get spinal problems! Especially boy rats, for some reason. Meet George – a rat with spinal stenosis – degenerative changes in the spine – that is causing him to have mobility problems!
