Parker University is proud to highlight a significant update to the 2005 review on risk factors for Cervical Artery Dissection.
This crucial research, which will help inform clinical practice and enhance patient safety, was made possible by the collaborative effort of an international team of experts. We commend the authors for their dedication to this vital area of study.
The inclusion of studies with healthy control groups allowed for a more robust and accurate analysis, representing a major step forward in this field.
Congratulations to the full author team on this important publication: Dr. Sidney Rubinstein, Dr. Debbie Wright, Dr. Katie Pohlman, Dr. Robert Rosenbaum, Dr. Barbara Hutten, Dr. Wendy Scholten-Peeters, Dr. Scott Haldeman, and Dr. Hans Ket. Learn more about the study here.
We’re proud to share that Dr. Kent Stuber is a co-investigator on a recently funded research grant from the Canadian Chiropractic Research Foundation (CCRF). Awarded in June, the grant supports the project titled: “Who can be helped and who cannot be helped? Mapping biopsychosocial factors in people with low back pain responding to chiropractic care.” This project is being led by Dr. Martha Funabashi, Parker University Adjunct Faculty member.
The application received full funding and represents a dynamic international collaboration among several esteemed institutions: Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC), University of Southern Denmark (SDU), University Hospital of Southern Denmark, Chiropractic Knowledge Hub, University of Pittsburgh, and Parker University.
Dr. Katie Pohlman, Director of Research at Parker University, recently contributed to an international research collaboration with colleagues from the University of Johannesburg, Durban University of Technology, and Health Science University.
This study examines how spinal manipulation therapy is being used to manage headaches in South Africa. By mapping evidence from grey literature, it contributes to the growing body of research supporting chiropractic care in low- and middle-income countries. You can read the article here.
Chiropractic & Manual Therapies is celebrating 20 years of publishing high-quality, open-access research—a significant milestone for the journal and the profession. To mark the occasion, the journal compiled a collection of its best-performing publications. Parker’s own Dr. Kent Stuber was recognized among them for his article, “Adverse events from spinal manipulation in the pregnant and postpartum periods.”
