Abstract/Notes

Abstract: This short paper, by way of an update, summarises several new learnings taken from a quiz published in Medscape based on the work of Ravi Ponnappan. 

Six questions of evidence-based relevance worthy of inclusion in the standard ‘low back’ workup of Chiropractic physicians should now include (i) did you suffer from a brain tumour in childhood?, (ii) what are your lipid profiles?, (iii) are you diabetic?, (iv) what is your blood pressure?, (v) do you smoke?, and (vi) is your BMI above normal for your somatotype? 

I conclude this overview with the point that platelet-rich plasma in the treatment of patients with lumbar disc herniation is safe and effective. 

This represents a non-surgical alternative for patients with lumbar disc degeneration should Chiropractic Adjustments not produce the desired outcomes.
