Evidence-Based Chiropractic Practice SeminarImplementing Clinical Evidence and Understanding the Unique Value of Chiropractic Based on the Neurophysiological Importance of Segmental Motion

By JAMES L. CHESTNUT B.Ed., M.Sc., DC., C.C.W.P.

In his new book Dr. Chest-nut presents an irrefutable argument for ’Living Right for Your Species Type’. He has made the science un-derstandable, the research accessible, and the logic self-evident. Most importantly, he pro-vides a brilliantly simple model of implementation in his Eat Well – Move Well – Think Well® Lifestyle Plan.

metabolic allostatic load, not pathological genes or pathological self-regulation, are the root causes

of the chronic illness pandemic. The evidence is unequivocal; unhealthy lifestyle habits are, by far, the

leading cause of chronic illness and healthy lifestyle choices are the only evidence-based wellness and

prevention solution. Dr. Chestnut is adamant that chiropractors should take a leading role in providing

evidence-based neuromusculoskeletal and lifestyle intervention.

Dr. Chestnut recently developed his Evidence-Based Chiropractic and Lifestyle clinical intervention pro-

tocols which are in use in chiropractic clinics around the world. Dr. Chestnut’s efforts have influenced

many thousands of chiropractors, and through them, improved the health and quality of life of millions

of patients worldwide.

LIVE RIGHT FOR YOUR SPECIES TYPE

BookChronic illness rates have exponentially risen over the last century; chronic illness now kills 80% of humans living in Industrial Society. During this period of exponential increase in chronic illness human genes have not changed. It is neither scientific nor logical to blame the human chronic illness pandemic on “bad genes”. In fact, no spe-cies on earth has ever become endangered or gone extinct because of bad genes. Genes are naturally selected over time to create more health not more sickness – this is biological law.

Research is unequivocal, chronic illness is unhealthy lifestyle and unhealthy environment illness. This has profound implications. It means that drugs will never be the solution because drugs can neither prevent nor cure problems caused by poor nutrition, seden-tary living, psychosocial stress, or pollutants. There is only one evi-dence-based, scientific, and logical wellness and prevention solution and that is adopting and maintaining healthy lifestyle habits and healthy physical and social habitats. If you want to maximize your potential and your chances to get and stay well and avoid chronic illness you must develop and maintain healthy eating, moving, thin-king, and social interaction habits and we all must help maintain healthy physical and social human habitats. In other words, you must ‘Live Right for Your Species Type’.

Evidence-Based Chiropractic Practice: Implementing Clinical Evidence and Understanding the Unique Value of Chiropractic Based on the Neurophysio-logical Importance of Segmental Motion.

Part 1: A Summary and Critique of the Clinical Eviden-

ce Regarding Spinal Healthcare Interventions: To Pra-

ctice Evidence-Based Healthcare You MUST Know and

Understand the Evidence.

Course Description:The prevalence of low back pain and other neuro-

musculoskeletal health problems is extremely high and

the financial and human burdens associated with these

health issues enormous, about this there is no deba-

te. The treatment and/or prevention of these health

problems over the past several decades represents a

dismal failure and a financial disaster; about this there

is no debate. Clearly it is imperative that the most evi-

dence-based interventions with respect to effective-

ness, cost-effectiveness, and safety are identified and

promoted as we move into the future; about this there

is no rational debate.

The questions being begged are obvious. Of the avai-

lable interventions which, if any, represents the most

evidence-based option with respect to effectiveness,

cost-effectiveness, and safety. What represents eviden-

ce-based intervention for low back pain and other neu-

romusculoskeletal health problems?

It is not possible to practice evidence-based care if you

are not aware of the evidence. Further, it is not suffice

to just be aware of the evidence, you must understand

how to determine what represents valid evidence and

how to implement the most valid evidence into clinical

practice.

Course Outline:A summary, review, and critique of the literature regar-

ding interventions for low back pain and other neuro-

musculoskeletal health issues will be provided.

Learning Objectives:

1. Be able to identify and understand the landmark

clinical studies regarding chiropractic adjustment/SMT.

2. Be able to identify and understand the landmark

clinical studies regarding other available interventions.

3. Develop a basic understanding of methodological

validity.

4. Develop an understanding of what repre sents evi-

dence-based spinal healthcare interventions

Part 2: The Neurophysiological Importance of Seg-

mental Motion: Understanding the Science Behind

Chiropractic.

Course Description:A review of literature regarding the consequences

of deficient segmental motion will be provided with

an emphasis on scar tissue adhesions, inflammation,

increased nociceptive input, deficient proprioceptive

input, altered sensori-motor integration, altered motor

control, and altered cerebellar function. A review of the

consequences of sufficient proprioception in both neu-

romusculoskeletal and overall health will be provided.

A review of the literature regarding the consequences

of chronic increased nociception and chronic decrea-

sed proprioception on both neuromusculoskeletal and

overall health will be provided. An introduction to the

physiological models of allostasis, epigenetics, auto-

nomic balance, and health and illness will be provided

in context of understanding the evidence-based relati-

onship spinal health and illness and overall health and

illness.

Course Outline:A review of the clinical literature reveals that chiropra-

ctic is the most evidence-based and most effective

intervention to restore and maintain segmental spinal

motion and spinal health. A review of the neurophysi-

ological and neuromusculoskeletal literature explains

why. Chronic reduced motion in synovial joints results

in chronic adverse adaptive changes such as increased

connective tissue adhesions, increased inflammatory

mediators, increased nociception, and decreased pro-

prioception. Sufficient motion in synovial joints is an

essential requirement to maintain health and prevent

adverse adaptive changes. Recent neurophysiologi-

cal research links deficient spinal segmental motion

with deficient proprioception, increased nociception,

altered sensori-motor cortex structure and function,

altered motor control, altered cerebellar structure

and function, and to adaptive changes in autonomic

nervous system function. Allostasis and allostatic

load are models of stressors and associated adaptive

physiology that can help elucidate the global neuro-

physiological benefits of motion and the global health

consequences of reduced segmental motion and as-

sociated sequelae. When discussing the relationship

between spinal health and overall health, Segmental

Neuromusculoskeletal Dysfunction is most accurately

interpreted as an allostatic load, as a stressor, as a con-

tributing factor to states of adaptive allostasis that con-

tribute to a decline in health not as a singular cause of

disease. Similarly, overall spinal health is most accura-

tely interpreted as an essential contributing factor to

overall health, not as the single source of health or as

the most significant variable determining health. The

scope of practice and the clinical focus of chiropractic

interventions is neuromusculoskeletal system health

and function. However, both spinal health and loss of

spinal health clearly effect the entire human organism

and the entire human experience. Chiropractic exper-

tise should include knowledge and understanding of

the indissoluble connection among segmental motion,

neuromusculoskeletal health and function, and global

health, function, and quality of life.

Learning Objectives:1. Understand the scar tissue, inflammatory, and affe-

rent neurological consequences of deficient segmental

motion.

2. Understand the importance of sufficient segmental

motion to spinal and overall health.

3. Understand the role of chiropractic in restoring and

maintaining segmental motion and neuromusculoske-

letal health and function, and how this contributes to

overall health and quality of life.

Part 3 – A Critique of Systematic Reviews: Understan-

ding Study Selection Criteria and Quality Rating Scales

and How This Effects Validity

Many recent systematic reviews assessing and rating

the level of evidence regarding the effectiveness of

interventions for low back pain, and the clinical guide-

lines based upon these reviews, have concluded that

SMT is of no benefit at all or is no better than any other

interventions for LBP.

Is this because the data from studies shows that chiro-

practic adjustment/SMT is simply no more effective

than usual medical care, physical therapy, surgery,

acupuncture, massage, or any other available interven-

tion?

Or, is there some biases with respect to study selection

and study quality ratings that negatively affect the

strength of evidence ratings for chiropractic adjust-

ment/SMT? Is it valid to completely ignore care fre-

quency and duration with respect to study validity and

selection criteria? Is it fair to define studies that include

only mobilizations from physical therapists as SMT stu-

dies and pool the results from these studies with those

that include thrust manipulations from chiropractors?

What happens to the level of evidence for chiropractic

SMT/adjustment if we select studies with a reasonable,

clinically representative frequency and duration of care

that includes thrust manipulation/adjustment? Are

there any systematic reviews that have done this?

Course Outline:This presentation critiques, compares, and contrasts

the different conclusions of the most recent systematic

reviews of SMT in order to expose some documentable,

significant bias against SMT when it comes to ratings of

strength of evidence. The issues of study inclusion and

exclusion criteria and methodology of rating study qu-

ality and strength of evidence will be specifically exa-

mined as will the methodological issues of individual

studies of SMT.

Learning Objectives:1. Understand how to evaluate the validity of syste-

matic review conclusions and clinical guidelines based

on selection criteria, study quality ratings, and strength

of evidence ratings.

2. Understand the importance study validity with

respect to defining SMT and differentiating thrust ma-

nipulation from mobilization, frequency and duration

of care, and fair comparisons of SMT to other interven-

tions

3. Understand the methodological explanations for

both the positive and negative findings regarding SMT,

the apparent heterogeneity of results, and the bias

with which the evidence for SMT is often either down-

graded or outright dismissed while the evidence for

other interventions is often artificially exaggerated.
