This issue of D.C. Tracts targets a wide array of elements with respect to cervical spine issues. The epidemiology of these makes them an important subject for our consideration, since a large number of this patient population will seek chiropractic care.
Dr. Danielle Southerst’s feature article offers important information for every chiropractor regarding an extremely common source of neck pain – traffic collisions. She reviews evidence-based assessments and treatments for neck pain management, along with guideline recommendations for treatment, assessment and positive outcomes.
Dr. Brynne Stainsby’s audio lecture discusses various treatment methods for neck pain which are founded on evidence-based studies of this clinical condition. She also alerts the listener to important contraindications and safety concerns.
Dr. Tracey Littrell’s audio lecture complements the other contributors in this edition of D.C. Tracts, as she focuses on the cervical spine as it relates to pediatric cervical injuries, including a review of radiographic guidelines.
Dr. Yasmeen Khan’s abstracts and commentaries of three current articles provide an interesting variation of succinct and clinically relevant views on the outcomes of chiropractic treatment for cervical spine pain in specific populations, including women and older veterans.
Respectfully,
Vincent P. Lucido, DC, DACBO
Editor-in-Chief
