Groundbreaking Research Affirms Routine Spine X-Rays Are Essential for Patient Outcomes




PRESS RELEASE
We’re excited to announce the publication of the 7th CBP NonProfit research paper of the year, now featured in Dose-Response (Q2 2025).

This narrative review — authored by Drs. Paul Oakley, Jason Haas, and Deed Harrison — was part of Dr. Harrison’s keynote lecture at the 47th CBP Annual Conference.

For years, certain chiropractic and medical guidelines have discouraged or condemned routine and repeat spine radiographs, claiming they are unreliable, lack clinical utility, or pose radiation risks. This new review dismantles that outdated narrative.

🔑 Key Findings from the Study
Spinal alignment matters: Numerous radiographic “cut-point values” (such as forward head posture >25mm, cervical lordosis 20°) reliably distinguish between healthy individuals and those suffering from back pain, neck pain, headaches, disability, or poor quality of life.
Outcomes improve when cut-points are corrected: Patients with spinal displacements beyond these thresholds are the very ones who fail post-treatment unless alignment is addressed.
No meaningful radiation risk: The presumed cancer risk from spinal X-rays is based on the discredited Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model. Modern evidence shows low-dose X-rays pose no risk and may even have beneficial adaptive effects.
Negligence to omit imaging: Failing to radiographically diagnose spinal deformities leaves patients biomechanically undiagnosed, leading to missed or delayed diagnoses and potentially harmful “black-box” treatments.
Multiple benefits of routine imaging:
Precise biomechanical diagnosis
Avoiding missed/delayed diagnoses
Timely specialist referrals
Cost savings (avoiding unnecessary MRIs/CTs)
Higher patient satisfaction
📌 Why This Matters
This paper argues forcefully that routine radiographic imaging should be the standard of care in spine rehabilitation. The evidence is clear: ignoring X-rays isn’t just unscientific—it may constitute clinical negligence in many cases.

🧠 SPN – A Neurological Technique That Keeps Evolving

🎥 Testimonial from Dr. Mary Grace Penella – From KATMAN 1 to SPN

Dr. Mary Grace Penella has been with us since the very beginning—attending the very first KATMAN 1 seminar seven years ago, and now participating in the first SPN seminar. She also played a key role in editing the brand-new 173-page SPN manual.

“The evolution of this technique has been so specific and unique. The first manual was challenging for me to follow, but over the years, through seminars and conferences, I refined my notes and deepened my understanding. This new manual is clear, precise, and reflects how much the SPN technique has grown—while staying true to its neurological roots.” – Dr. Mary Grace Penella

She describes SPN as:
✅ A true neurological technique that speaks directly to the nervous system and the brain
✅ Continuously improving thanks to contributions from doctors worldwide
✅ A game changer for both specific and general patient care
✅ A method with proven, remarkable patient results

Why SPN stands out:
• Open-source knowledge, constantly evolving
• Practical tools that create measurable changes in patient outcomes
• A collaborative community of professionals refining the method together

📢 Dr. Penella’s advice:

“I highly recommend that doctors take advantage of the next full SPN seminar. It’s amazing and keeps getting better.”

💻 On Online Training:
She’s excited for monthly or bi-monthly online sessions:

“With so many moving parts, reinforcement is key. Online training will help solidify the technique between in-person seminars. We can’t meet more than once a year, but this will keep the learning fresh and active.”

📅 Next SPN Seminar:
✨ The Second SPN Seminar is Back this January!
📅 January 23rd & 24th, 2026
📍 Sheraton Suites Galleria – Atlanta

Esta es una excelente ilustración de lo que la mayoría de los zapatos modernos (muchos fabricados por Nike, Adidas, Puma, Ascis, etc.) le hacen a nuestros pies en comparación con un zapato de estilo natural descalzo.. 😲

La diferencia más notable está en la posición de los dedos. La posición en ángulo de los dedos de los pies en el zapato superior se llama "resorte de los dedos".
Si examinas de cerca muchos de tus zapatos (especialmente los diseñados para atletismo), la punta delantera se elevará algunos grados.

Originalmente, esta característica se incorporó a los zapatos gruesos e inflexibles como una forma de ayudar a "hacer rodar" el pie hacia adelante mientras caminas. Piensa en esto como si tuvieras la parte inferior de una mecedora en tu pie...

¿Por qué es esto un problema? 🤔

El resorte del dedo del pie básicamente obliga a los dedos del pie a "quebrar". Tu pie fue diseñado para tener todos los dedos completamente planos sobre el suelo cuando soporta peso. Esto permite que los dedos se agarren al suelo y proporcionen estabilidad a todo el pie y, por lo tanto, al resto del cuerpo. Debido a que 18 de los 19 tendones del pie están unidos a los dedos de los pies, lo que les permite permanecer planos esencialmente ancla todo el pie al suelo y mejora la estabilidad (una razón por la cual el salto del dedo del pie en un zapato de levantamiento de pesas o cualquier calzado que use para ir al gimnasio hace absolutamente 0 sentido funcional).

Por lo tanto, si actualmente usas un par de zapatos con puntera flexible para ir al gimnasio, te recomiendo que te pongas un par de zapatos que permitan que los dedos de los pies se extiendan sobre el suelo o simplemente anda descalzo. 🦶🏻🦶🏻💯❣

Hey Friends, something to consider. For those of you who have not given up French fries (and lets be honest, who doesn't love a French fry now and then?); consider having an order of fries from Steak and Shake. This is an unpaid testimonial, but they are now using 100% Beef Tallow to fry those potato gems! Check out the competition and they are all still using the dreaded seed oils. So Props to Steak and Shake for making a healthier choice....yes I realize how ridiculous it is to call any French fries a healthy choice!! Focus on the big picture!!
