From the Director’s Desk
This month, Dr. Brian Jensen presents an article on the explosion across the USA of knee and hip replacement surgeries, already high at 1 million per year. That figure will surely increase in the coming years as the baby boomers reach the age when these surgeries may provide appeal. You, as a chiropractor, can help avoid this fate! Flip to page 12 now to read this exciting perspective on the need for balancing biomechanics starting at the foot from Dr. Jensen in “The Chiropractor’s Influence on Ground Force Reaction and Lower Extremity Arthrosis.”
Next, Dr. Mark Studin and Dr. Eric Kaplan assess the technical description of what we as chiropractors do in the article “Vertebral Subluxation Complex VS Patho-Neuro-Biomechanical Lesion.” One term dates back to the founding of our profession; the other is used more frequently in contemporary literature. Flip to page 18 now to read this hot take.
In Part Two of Dr. Jeffrey Tucker’s article on the lingering, sometimes frustrating hamstring injury. Dr. Tucker uses advanced rehab exercise approaches, in addition to chiropractic, and even adds on some new technology that is coming of age. Flip to page 38 now for Dr. Tucker’s article.
