Throughout my training and practice as a physician I have come to one very disappointing conclusion: Western medicine isn’t helping people lead better lives. Now that I’ve realized this, I’ve become obsessed with understanding what makes us healthy or ill. I want to live the best life I can and I want to be able to share this knowledge with others so that they can do the same.

You have found yourself smack dab in the middle of Episode #320 Now if you missed last week’s episode, we talked about The WHO’s Sources For Opinion On Spinal Manipulative Therapy (Part 8). Make sure you don’t miss that info. Keep up with the class.On the personal end of things….. If you’ve been following along, you know I’m still digging my clinic out of the Winter doldrums but it’s coming along nicely. If you want to hear more about that and what we’ve been doing to change course and correct the path forward, listen to last week’s episode. The plan laid down is starting to bring some fruit that I think we’ll be harvesting soon. I had 15 or 16 new patients last week. It’s not to the 20 or so I was used to before COVID but it’s better than the 9 or 10 I was seeing a month or so ago. We’re back to doing the therapies on our patients that we should be legitimately doing. We’re not just failing to do them and watching that money simply walk out the door. For example, we billed $106k in February as opposed to $82k in December. Quite a difference there. Now, that’s me and the nurse practitioner and while that may sound like a metric crap ton of money in a month, and it is for some, remember, my overhead monthly is approximately $65k or more. So, if you bill that much, guaranteed you’re not collecting that much. You might get $80 – $85 of that. That leaves you with $15k….maybe $20k in profit for the month. So, it’s not where we want it but it’s moving in the right direction. We collected about $30k more in February than we did in each of the previous 3-4 months so collections is doing its deal and making me happy once again. I’m such a fun guy when I’m making money instead of losing it!! Y’all! This week is a short week for me. I’m flying out to Atlanta Thursday morning to the big VOAtlanta voice conference. Around 1,000 attendees. Last year, the dude that does all of the announcements for the TODAY show was sitting behind me. The guy that has voiced Goofy for the last 40 years was there. Nolan North who voiced the lead character in the video game Unchartered was there. You just never know who’s going to be there but making the just right contact on these things could mean a lot financially. No doubt. So I go, I have some drinks at the bar, I attend classes and enjoy it and take it all in and just see what happens.So that’s on tap this weekend and you know I’ll be talking about it on the podcast next week. But for now, let’s hop in on the research.Item #1 The first one this week is called, “How effective are physiotherapy interventions in treating people with sciatica? A systematic review and meta-analysis” by Dove et. Al. and is published in European Spine Journal on December 29, 2022 and let’s do the hot thing just because! Remember, the citations can be found at chiropracticforward.com under this episode.Dove, L., Jones, G., Kelsey, L. et al. How effective are physiotherapy interventions in treating people with sciatica? A systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur Spine J 32, 517–533 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1007/s00586-022-07356-yWhy They Did It Physiotherapy interventions are prescribed as first-line treatment for people with sciatica; however, their effectiveness remains controversial. The purpose of this systematic review was to establish the short-, medium- and long-term effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions compared to control interventions for people with clinically diagnosed sciatica How They Did It This systematic review Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), CINAHL (EBSCO), Embase, PEDro, PubMed, Scopus and grey literature were searched from inception to January 2021 Inclusion criteria were randomised controlled trials evaluating PT interventions compared to a control intervention in people with clinical or imaging diagnosis of sciatica. Primary outcome measures were pain and disability. Study selection and data extraction were performed by two independent reviewers with consensus reached by discussion or third-party arbitration if required. Risk of bias was assessed independently by two reviewers using the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool with third-party consensus if required. Meta-analyses and sensitivity analyses were performed with random effects models Subgroup analyses were undertaken to examine the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions compared to minimal (e.g. advice only) or substantial control interventions (e.g. surgery). Three thousand nine hundred and fifty eight records were identified, of which 18 trials were included, with a total number of 2699 participants.What They Found All trials had a high or unclear risk of bias. Meta-analysis of trials for the outcome of pain showed no difference in the short, medium or long term. For disability there was no difference in the short, medium, or long term between physiotherapy and control interventions. Subgroup analysis of studies comparing physiotherapy with minimal intervention favored physiotherapy for pain at the long-term time points. Large confidence intervals and high heterogeneity indicate substantial uncertainty surrounding these estimates. Many trials evaluating physiotherapy intervention compared to substantial intervention did not use contemporary physiotherapy interventions. Wrap It Up Based on currently available, mostly high risk of bias and highly heterogeneous data, there is inadequate evidence to make clinical recommendations on the effectiveness of physiotherapy interventions for people with clinically diagnosed sciatica. Item #2 The second one today is called “Efficacy of low-level laser therapy in the management of neck pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised placebo or active-treatment controlled trials” by Chow et. Cl and published in The Lancet on December 5, 2009.Chow R, Johnson, M, ‘Efficiacy of low-level laser therapy in the management of neck pain: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized placebo or active-treatment controlled trials’, 374, 9705, P1897-1908, Dec. 5, 2009. DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(09)61522-1Why They Did It Neck pain is a common and costly condition for which pharmacological management has limited evidence of efficacy and side-effects. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a relatively uncommon, non-invasive treatment for neck pain, in which non-thermal laser irradiation is applied to sites of pain. They did a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials to assess the efficacy of LLLT in neck pain. How They Did It We searched computerised databases comparing efficacy of LLLT using any wavelength with placebo or with active control in acute or chronic neck pain. Effect size for the primary outcome, pain intensity, was defined as a pooled estimate of mean difference in change in mm on 100 mm visual analogue scale. What They Found We identified 16 randomised controlled trials including a total of 820 patients. Side-effects from LLLT were mild and not different from those of placebo. Wrap It Up We show that LLLT reduces pain immediately after treatment in acute neck pain and up to 22 weeks after completion of treatment in patients with chronic neck pain. Alright, that’s it. Keep on keepin’ on. Keep changing our profession from your corner of the world. The world needs evidence-based, patient-centered practitioners driving the bus. The profession needs us in the ACA and involved in leadership of state associations. So quit griping about the profession if you’re doing nothing to make it better. Get active, get involved, and make it happen. Let’s get to the message. Same as it is every week.Store Remember the evidence-informed brochures and posters at chiropracticforward.com.
Purchase Dr. Williams’s book, a perfect educational tool and chiropractic research reference for the daily practitioner, from the Amazon store TODAY!
The Message I want you to know with absolute certainty that when Chiropractic is at its best, you can’t beat the risk vs reward ratio because spinal pain is primarily a movement-related pain and typically responds better to movement-related treatment rather than chemical treatments like pills and shots. When compared to the traditional medical model, research and clinical experience show us patients can get good to excellent results for headaches, neck pain, back pain, and joint pain to name just a few. It’s safe and cost-effective can decrease surgeries & disability and we do it through conservative, non-surgical means with minimal hassle to the patient. And, if the patient treats preventatively after initial recovery, we can usually keep it that way while raising the overall level of health! Key Point: At the end of the day, patients should have the guarantee of having the best treatment that offers the least harm. When it comes to non-complicated musculoskeletal complaints…. That’s Chiropractic! Contact Send us an email at dr dot williams at chiropracticforward.com and let us know what you think of our show and tell us your suggestions for future episodes. Feedback and constructive criticism is a blessing and so are subscribes and excellent reviews on podcast platforms. We know how this works by now. If you value something, you have to share it, interact with it, review it, talk about it from time to time, and actively hit a few buttons to support it here and there when asked. It really does make a big difference.Connect We can’t wait to connect with you again next week. From the Chiropractic Forward Podcast flight deck, this is Dr. Jeff Williams saying upward, onward, and forward. Website
