New Metadata Study Reveals -
"Chiropractic maintenance care - what’s new? A systematic review of the literature" (see link to study)

The Data: What Maintenance Care Really Does

Patients who received Maintenance Care experienced 13 fewer days of pain over 12 months than those who only visited when symptoms recurred.

Pain episodes decreased by 22% when patients adhered to a Maintenance Care schedule every 1-3 months.

Consistent care led to significant reductions in disability, particularly for patients with a history of chronic pain who responded well to initial treatment.

Chiropractors and patients agree: Maintenance Care is essential for preventing flare-ups and maintaining optimal function.

Clinicians in the study emphasized the importance of regular visits, noting that spinal manipulation coupled with patient education, exercise, and lifestyle coaching delivered the best outcomes.

Synopsis: Jeff Langmaid - www.theevidencebasedchiropractor.com

Background Maintenance Care is a traditional chiropractic approach, whereby patients continue treatment after optimum benefit is reached. A review conducted in 1996 concluded that evidence behind this therapeutic strategy was lacking, and a second review from 2008 reached the same conclusion. Since....

Had a Great! Day out at The Clinton House Plantation with Mike Sexton at the Mile Long Range. The targets were arranged from 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 (yards), and 1 MILE (1760 yards). At 1 Mile, we were able to hit a large target and a small target (18 inch circle) with the Savage Elite Precision 6mm Creedmoor, Seekins PH2 NRL 6mm Creedmoor, and Daniel Defense Delta 5 6mm Creedmoor rifles. The thrill of hitting a basketball rim sized object from 17.6 football fields away was AMAZING!

Thank you to Johnny Spinkle for the invite to Pineapple Shot FFL Group shoot.

Thank you to Mike Sexton for running our group at Clinton House Mile Long Range. It’s definitely a bucket list item and a shooters dream come true.

Boston College Professor in Biology: Dr. Seyfried published a groundbreaking treatise entitled, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer (Wiley, 1st ed., 2012). The treatise provides extensive information showing that cancer can be best defined as a mitochondrial metabolic disease rather than as a genetic disease. This new concept has implications for the development of new non-toxic cancer therapies including the ketogenic diet. Experts in the cancer research field have praised this comprehensive study as one of science's hottest topics.

Regular Chiropractic Care and the Vagus Nerve. (Science Based) “I will never forget this presentation. Well-adjusted people do not necessarily have less stress in their lives. Their nervous systems are just better equipped to handle the demands required to move forward. They have learned methods and actively do things that help manage their stress and increase their flexibility. This is the power of chiropractic. By eliminating interferences within the cranium and spine, chiropractors help us find our body’s natural harmony, what nature created for our survival—our innate intelligence.” Great Read

“During a one-year period [November 2009-October 2010], the senior author, a neurosurgeon, saw 274 patients for cervical and lumbar spinal, office consultations. A patient was assigned to the “unnecessary surgery” group if they were told they needed spinal surgery by another surgeon, but exhibited pain alone without neurological deficits and without significant abnormal radiographic findings [dynamic X-rays, MR scans, and/or CT scans].”

There are marked disparities in the frequency of spinal surgery performed within the United States over time, as well as across different geographic areas. One possible source of these disparities is the criteria for surgery. During a one-year ...
