“…The search identified seventeen EBP guidelines 1,[3][4][5][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] for the management of back pain that were published on or after the year of 2002. The American Osteopathic Association guideline was not included in this review because it only evaluated the use of osteopathic manipulative therapy for the management of back pain, it did not evaluate common conservative means to manage back pain (i.e.…”

“…This initial LBP triage separated patients with red and yellow flag signs and symptoms from patients who could be managed without specialist referral, without additional diagnostic imaging tests, and without invasive procedures 1,4,5,16,19,20,[22][23][24][25]28 . Red flags were designed to identify patients with LBP associated with specific spine pathologies that require physician specialist referral 1,5,23 .…”

“…All sixteen guidelines identified for this study made recommendations for specialist referral 1,[3][4][5][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]27,28 . Any patient who presented with red flags indicating suspicion of cancer, infection, cauda equina syndrome, spondyloarthritis, spinal fracture, visceral (gastrointestinal and genitourinary) referred pain, and abdominal aortic aneurism need to be sent to a specialist (Table 1).…”

“…Research demonstrates that spinal manipulation can have a positive impact on neck and low back pain. [53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] Future directions to engage in after this study that researchers intend to pursue shall be to (1) engage in a larger study to confirm trends observed with this survey and monitor health care disparities in a more in-depth manner and (2) develop a demographic profile of non-Hispanic blacks that do not use chiropractic health care for comparison purposes.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to describe non-Hispanic blacks that use chiropractic health care to better understand this underserved demographic. Methods: E-mail and telephone calls were used to recruit doctors of chiropractic (DCs) in Texas and Louisiana to distribute anonymous surveys to their non-Hispanic black patients. Twenty doctors volunteered to participate. Each was sent 10 surveys and self-addressed envelopes to distribute. All doctors were given at least 3 months to distribute surveys to as many non-Hispanic black patients that they had. The survey contained 20 questions designed to develop a profile of non-Hispanic black patients that used chiropractic care. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize demographic and other patient attributes. Results: Two-hundred surveys were distributed and 44 were completed, yielding a response rate of 22%. Non-Hispanic black patients were more likely to be female (54.5%), be older than 50 years (56.8%), be a college graduate (59.1%), be employed (61.9%), report not receiving public assistance in the past 5 years (81.4%), report a household income of $20 000 to $60 000 a year (48.8%), and born in the United States (83.7%). Participants reported that there was a DC within 30 minutes of their address (81.4%), their DC always explained things to them in an easy-to-understand manner (81.8%), their DC always showed respect for what they had to say (88.6%), and their DC always cared about them as a person (86.4%). Conclusions: In the sample surveyed, non-Hispanic black patients tended to be female, be older, be college educated, be employed, and have a positive viewpoint on their interactions with their DC.

“…Direct comparisons between CAM and conventional medical systems address this question (Assendelft, Koes, van der Heijden, & Bouter, 1992;Koes et al, 1992;Meade & Frank, 1990). So far, CAM evidence has been checked for or assumed to converge towards stable and acceptable effect sizes, possibly because systematic review narratives (Lawrence et al, 2008), consensus processes (Globe, Morris, Whalen, Farabaugh, & Hawk, 2008), and metaanalyses do not compare CAMs directly to other treatments or standards of care.…”

We risk ignoring cheaper and safer medical treatments because they cannot be patented, lack profit potential, require too much patient-contact time, or do not have scientific results. Novel medical treatments may be difficult to evaluate for a variety of reasons such as patient selection bias, the effect of the package of care, or the lack of identifying the active elements of treatment. Whole Systems Research (WSR) is an approach designed to assess the performance of complete packages of clinical management. While the WSR method is compelling, there is no standard procedure for WSR, and its implementation may be intimidating. The truth is that WSR methodological tools are neither new nor complicated. There are two sequential steps, or boxes, that guide WSR methodology: establishing system predictability, followed by an audit of system element effectiveness. We describe the implementation of WSR with a particular attention to threats to validity
