Episode notes
Unchanged Epidemiology
- The introductory epidemiology of spinal care hasn't changed much in 20 years.
- Millions are still wasted on compensation, and the prevalence of spinal problems remains high.
Low Back Pain Prevalence
- Dr. Chivers' patient asked about the most common injury in his non-traditional chiropractic practice.
- Low back pain remains the most prevalent issue, highlighting a blind spot in injury management.
Shortcomings of Spinal Literature
- Literature on spinal care often compares different therapies (manipulation, exercise, etc.) but lacks specifics within exercise therapy.
- The true value lies in how exercise is applied and assessed, which the literature often overlooks.
