24.01.2022 COVID-19 Times Since suspending my practice on March 26, due to COVID-19, I’ve had the pleasure of coming in to @massivejoes every week, volunteering my time in providing the staff with Chiropractic treatment. In the late afternoon, on the day of suspending my practice, I went in to @massivejoesedwardstown and spoke with @Joesephmencel to offer my services to the staff every week. To which he was on board with the idea. ... Thank you @josephmencel and the team for having me in so far! 13 weeks through...13 more to go See more

23.01.2022 Spinal Manipulation Benefits 2019 has seen dozens of impactful studies regarding the benefits of SMT. Here are two great ones:... 1. Researchers from Harvard Medical School, Brigham & Women’s Hospital, and Palmer College of Chiropractic performed a systematic review of the effectiveness of SMT for migraine. They concluded: We observed that spinal manipulation reduced migraine days as well as migraine pain intensity. (5) 2. A BMJ study encompassing nearly a quarter-million LBP patients compared initial and long-term opioid use with choice of initial provider. The study concluded: Patients who received initial treatment from chiropractors or physical therapists had decreased odds of short-term and long-term opioid use compared with those who received initial treatment from primary care physicians. Drilling beyond the abstract, the data demonstrated that between PT’s and DC’s, chiropractic patients had significantly lower initial and long-term opioid use (0.10 vs. 0.15).

21.01.2022 MassiveJoes Seminar and Workshop - On Sunday, @massivejoes hosted an informative, engaging and educative seminar at World Gym Mt Gravatt with four of their Sponsored Athletes. @aaron... @jacinda @tim @logan The Athletes showed clearly what it means to be part of a Team of Athletes. Their cohesiveness with another is on another level on many fronts. It was great hearing each Athlete offering a unique perspective on training, lifestyle, nutrition and wether or not they’d take the c*vid vaccine to travel overseas to compete The value of information from the seminar and workshop was undoubtably worth more than the cost of the entry Looking forward to the next one!

09.01.2022 Spinal Manipulation Mechanism Joint cavitation (that popping sound, you hear) is one of the key features of Spinal Manipulation and is considered by most patients and many providers to be crucial for the effective delivery of this technique. i.e., Did it go doc? I didn’t hear anything that time. Here are some new facts:... 1. Manipulation results in facet joint (joints in your spine) separation and resultant cavitation; distractive forces are not specific to a particular part of the spine. Manipulation improves range of motion (8-13 degrees in the cervical spine) and results in local pain relief (3) 2. Cavitation is significantly more likely to occur unilaterally (only on one side), and on the side contralateral (opposite) to the side of hand contact during cervicothoracic thrust manipulation.

08.01.2022 COVID-19 World Federation of Chiropractic Announcement WFC PUBLISHES RAPID REVIEW RE SMT AND IMMUNITY: ... http://bit.ly/WFC_immunity The WFC Advice Note on COVID-19, dated March 17, 2020, contained a key message that chiropractors should REFRAIN from communications that make claims of effectiveness related to COVID-19 which infer that spinal manipulation / adjustment confers or boosts immunity or may enhance patients’ recovery. Today, the WFC has published a rapid review of the relevant literature relating to spinal adjustment/manipulation and immunity, which has been compiled by the WFC Research Committee and informs our advice. The WFC Research Committee comprises the world’s leading scientists in chiropractic drawn from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Sweden and the United States. With hundreds of peer-reviewed publications between them, they have expertise in epidemiology, basic science, biomechanics, rehabilitation and clinical science. At this time of critical challenges in global health, this review is consistent with the WFC’s #BeEPIC narrative and supports chiropractors in making informed decisions about the care they provide to patients and communities. #BeEPIC #WFCmatters #chiropractic #evidencebased #osteotherapy #healthcare See more

07.01.2022 Hanging on by a Hamstring! In today's blog, we're talking about the mind-boggling hamstring tear! It can be challenging for healthcare practitioners to determine the best treatment and management approach for these injuries, and what can be done to prevent these injuries from happening in the first place.... In this Blog Post, we discuss what a hamstring tear is, how they occur, the factors that increase their risk of occurring, treatment and management options, and what preventative measures can be taken to best reduce the chance of them happening. Let's go! What is a hamstring tear? So, the hamstrings, or "hammys" , are the muscles that run down the back of your leg inserting behind your knee (and slightly below). This group of muscles commonly get overlooked as a potential injury point in the average athlete. In elite sports these days, the hamstring tear is arguably the most common injury sustained in sports involving high intensity speed, agility, and change of direction, such as football, basketball, soccer, and tennis(1). The tear commonly occurs at the weakest point of the muscle, the musculotendinous junction. This is the point where the muscle belly becomes the tendon. Depending on how the injury happens, particular hamstring muscles are more susceptible to tearing than others(1).

04.01.2022 The KSI Way Seminar Yesterday evening I attended The KSI Way Seminar (first in 10 years) at Sanctum Forge Boxing Gym. Thanks to @paulbriggs_theartofboxing for organising the event!... It was interesting to hear about the style of coaching Ian implements for his athletes and the paradigms within which the coaches are taught. As some of you know, I collaborate with @coachnickmccallum who is a level 3 KSI coach. His coaching style is certainly unique, and one in which I agree with A little bit about Ian King: Ian began coaching in 1980 and founded King Sports International (KSI) in 1986. He has helped elite athletes exceed their own expectations and supported their Olympic dream through nine Olympic cycles, in over thirty sports at the elite level, in over fifteen different countries. Ian’s unique gift is helping elite athletes identify and overcome any limiting factors that may be holding them back from fulfilling their potential, and enjoying a long and fruitful competitive career. (For those wondering, Ian doesn’t use social media)

02.01.2022 Spinal Manipulation Safety In years past, SMT critics pointed to a lack of data regarding effectiveness. Now that overwhelming evidence proves efficacy, critics have drawn attention to safety concerns. Fortunately, new research continues to support the safety of SMT:... 1. Annals of Medicine: Manual therapy does not result in an increased risk of cervical artery dissection. (1) 2. There is no increased risk of stroke after spinal manipulation (SMT) of the cervical spine. SMT only produces a fraction of the force needed to tear the wall of a healthy artery. In fact, strains for the cervical manipulation trials are typically less than 50% of those obtained during normal ROM testing. (2) References 1 Chaibi A, Russell MB. A riskbenefit assessment strategy to exclude cervical artery dissection in spinal manual-therapy: a comprehensive review. Annals of medicine. 2019 Feb 17;51(2):118-27.
