Dr. Frederick Carrick, professor of neurology at Life University in Marietta, Georgia, reveals a breakthrough therapy for those dealing with concussions.

Seeing a chiropractor and engaging in light exercise relieves neck pain more effectively than relying on pain medication, new research shows.

The new study is one of the few head-to-head comparisons of various treatments for neck pain, a problem that affects three quarters of Americans at some point in their lives but has no proven, first-line treatment. While many people seek out spinal manipulation by chiropractors, the evidence supporting its usefulness has been limited at best.

Try it when: No matter what else you do, your backaches persist. “A professional can provide relief from chronically inflamed muscles that home remedies can’t,” says Sinett.

How it works: A misaligned spine can cause muscle tension (read: pain). Both physical therapy and chiropractic treatment improve spinal alignment. Physical therapists strategically stretch and strengthen the muscles that help hold the spine in place. Chiropractors manipulate the spine to relieve areas of tension on the muscles.

Inappropriately used prescription pain medications kill 15,000 people in the United States each year, according to a new report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "We're in the midst of an epidemic," says CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden. "Narcotics prescribed by physicians kill 40 people per day."

Well-known mind-body physician and writer Deepak Chopra's website features recently featured a video about the common causes of back pain, such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis and spinal osteoporosis. The video mentions chiropractic care as an effective treatment option. Watch the video now.

Prescription drug deaths now outnumber traffic fatalities in U.S., data show

Propelled by an increase in prescription narcotic overdoses, prescription drug deaths now outnumber traffic fatalities in the United States, a Times analysis of government data has found.

Prescription drugs exceeded motor vehicle accidents as a cause of death in 2009, killing at least 37,485 people nationwide, according to preliminary data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

While most major causes of preventable death are declining, prescription drugs are an exception. The death toll has doubled in the last decade, now claiming a life every 14 minutes. By contrast, traffic accidents have been dropping for decades because of huge investments in auto safety.

Public health experts have used the comparison to draw attention to the nation's growing prescription drug problem, which they characterize as an epidemic. This is the first time that prescription drugs have accounted for more fatalities than traffic accidents since the government started tracking drug-induced deaths in 1979.

Hidden under Tom Engel's skin is a small device that around the clock pumps a morphine-like drug into his spinal column and ultimately into his brain.

Before getting the pump, Engel underwent two surgeries in which a product known as Infuse -- bone morphogenetic protein-2 or BMP-2 -- was implanted in his spine in an effort to relieve his back pain.

The first surgery, in 2002, used the product according to the label indications approved by the Food and Drug Administration. The second, in 2004, used the product in an unapproved "off-label" way.

Consumer Reports Survey: Chiropractic Care Outperforms All Other Back Pain Treatments, Including Medication

American Chiropractic Association Suggests Conservative Care Before Prescription Drug Use

In a new survey, chiropractic care outperformed all other back-pain treatments including prescription and over-the-counter medications, deep-tissue massage, yoga and Pilates. According to the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), this news reinforces the use of conservative care options as a first line of defense against pain.

The survey, released by a leading consumer product rating and survey publisher in late July, found that 65 percent of those surveyed using chiropractic care for back pain said it helped a lot. Only 53 percent of respondents using prescription medications found them as helpful.

Based on 109 recommendations from an Army-led Pain Management Task Force, the Army is seeking to move away from merely dispensing pain medication to embracing a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to caring for soldiers.

This approach could include traditional medications coupled with more unconventional treatments such as massage therapy, acupuncture and yoga.

Overall, studies have shown that spinal manipulation can provide mild-to-moderate relief from low-back pain and appears to be as effective as conventional medical treatments. In the 2007 guidelines [494 KB PDF], the American College of Physicians and the American Pain Society include spinal manipulation as one of several treatment options for practitioners to consider using when back pain does not improve with self-care.

Any surgery is dangerous. The body considers an operation a serious insult, and even some minor procedures come with major risks, such as bleeding, blood clots, infections, and damage to other organs. So it's essential to know if surgery is necessary — or beneficial.

The National Prevention Council (NPC), recently called for the development of a National Prevention Strategy to outline goals and recommendations for improving health and wellness for all Americans. The National Prevention Strategy highlights several preventative measures throughout the report including alternative therapies for back and neck pain.

According to the report, one key aspect of expanding preventive services is to “enhance coordination and integration of clinical, behavioral and complementary health strategies.” The report also specifically touts the benefits of spinal manipulation stating, “Complementary and alternative therapies for back and neck pain (e.g., acupuncture, massage, and spinal manipulation) can reduce pain and disability.” Read the full report here.

Spinal Manipulation Proves Equally Beneficial As Surgery In Sciatica Treatment

In a recent study, "Manipulation or Microdisketomy for Sciatica? A Prospective Randomized Clinical Study," (Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, October 2010, Vol. 33 Iss. 8, p: 576-584), researchers concluded that spinal manipulation was just as effective as microdiskectomy for patients struggling with sciatica secondary to lumbar disk herniation (LDH). The patient population studied included people experiencing chronic sciatica (symptoms greater than six months) that had failed traditional, medical management. Overall, 60 percent of patients who received spinal manipulation benefited to the same degree as those who underwent surgery.

“The Dr. Oz Show” recently touted new research that found chiropractic care is just as effective as over-the-counter pain relievers for back pain.

RAND Awarded Grant to Evaluate Chiropractic Care in Treating Military Members

The RAND Corporation, the Palmer College of Chiropractic, and the Samueli Institute have been awarded a $7.4 million grant from the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program to conduct clinical trials of the effectiveness of chiropractic care in treating a variety of health problems among military personnel.

The Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program administers the Congressional Special Interest Medical Research Programs encompassing breast, prostate, and ovarian cancers, neurofibromatosis, military health, and areas specified by Congress. Research grants are awarded through a two-tier peer and programmatic review process.

The project will be conducted over a four-year period and will be directed by Ian Coulter, the Samueli Institute Chair in Policy for Integrative Medicine at RAND.

The project will include clinical trials that examine the effect of chiropractic clinical treatment, either exclusively or as an adjunct to other treatments, on health concerns relevant to military members, including non-surgical orthopedic injury, pain management, smoking cessation, injury prevention and enhancing fitness for duty. The project will involve military sites throughout the country.

Study Finds That for Low Back Pain, Starting with Chiropractic Saves 40% on Care

A new study finds that care for low back pain initiated with a doctor of chiropractic (DC) saves 40 percent on health care costs when compared with care initiated through a medical doctor (MD), the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) announced today. The study, featuring data from 85,000 Blue Cross Blue Shield beneficiaries, concludes that insurance companies that restrict access to chiropractic care for low back pain treatment may inadvertently pay more for care than they would if they removed such restrictions.

Low back pain is a significant public health problem. Up to 85 percent of Americans have back pain at some point in their lives. In addition to its negative effects on employee productivity, back pain treatment accounts for about $50 billion annually in health care costs—making it one of the top 10 most costly conditions treated in the United States.

Published in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics (JMPT), the new study, “Cost of Care for Common Back Pain Conditions Initiated With Chiropractic Doctor vs. Medical Doctor/Doctor of Osteopathy as First Physician: Experience of One Tennessee-Based General Health Insurer,” looked at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Tennessee’s intermediate and large group fully insured population over a two-year span. The insured study population had open access to MDs and DCs through self-referral, and there were no limits applied to the number of MD/DC visits allowed and no differences in co-pays.

Results show that paid costs for episodes of care initiated by a DC were almost 40 percent less than care initiated through an MD. After risk-adjusting each patient’s costs, researchers still found significant savings in the chiropractic group. They estimated that allowing DC-initiated episodes of care would have led to an annual cost savings of $2.3 million for BCBS of Tennessee.

“As doctors of chiropractic, we know firsthand that our care often helps patients avoid or reduce more costly interventions such as drugs and surgery. This study supports what we see in our practices every day,” said ACA President Rick McMichael, DC. “It also demonstrates the value of chiropractic care at a critical time, when our nation is attempting to reform its health care system and contain runaway costs.”

Adjusting ideas about children’s health care

Your child may have digestive trouble — like constipation, reflux or colic. Perhaps asthma or allergies make your little one irritable.

Or maybe you’ve noticed that your baby just isn’t eating or sleeping as well as you would like. You could talk to your pediatrician or consult a baby care book.

But there’s another option: pediatric chiropractic care.

What you need to know about a high-priced back pain treatment

CBC News

Marketplace: Canada's Investigative Consumer Show

The latest high-tech, high-priced back pain treatment is called “non-surgical spinal decompression therapy.” One of the most popular machines is called the DRX9000, which can pull on your back with over a hundred pounds of force. The Low Back Clinic, one of Canada’s largest chains offering this treatment, claims the pull from the DRX9000 separates your vertebrae so discs can be restored.

Many Canadians are paying big bucks – up to $5,000 – to get the DRX9000 treatments.

But does it really work? Marketplace’s Erica Johnson puts the machine to the test and reveals potential hidden dangers you need to know about.
