Chiropractic researchers have investigated the causes the reasons for an increase in cases of serious pathologies like cancer. Researchers from the CDAHK were able to solve the mystery and estimated the frequency and kinds of pathologies serious to people suffering from lower back discomfort.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2022/PRNewswire — “One advantage to this type of examination is that it gives the opportunity to participate in more focused discussions that address the serious pathology that manifests as low back pain, which could be able to bring the long-term health benefits that health policy makers,” Eric Chun-Pu Chu PhD, researcher and chairman of the Chiropractic Doctors Association of Hong Kong (CDAHK).
To fill in this knowledge gap researchers have trained and validated the algorithm for data on 7221 patients to aid in the prevention of disease as well as early detection and treatment.
The research comprised of information from 30 clinics that had the presence of 38 chiropractors from the CDAHK between January 2020 between January 2020 and the end of July in 2022. Descriptive statistics were used to examine the findings of 721 patients who were identified as having new-onset low back discomfort.
The study showed that serious pathology was not common in adults suffering from new low back pain that required chiropractic care. It was calculated that there is one serious case that is diagnosed per chiropractor for each 34 month. It was reported in Medical Science Monitor.
CDAHK is the biggest Chiropractic Professional organisation within Hong Kong. CDAHK is actively been involved in all types of chiropractic activities as well as public health-related events since it was established. In 2022, with support of local chiropractors Dr. Chu had published more than twenty-five chiropractic research studies (2-24) and won many awards, including the Breast Feeding Initiative Award from United Nation Children’s Fund, and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Achievement Awards Hong Kong.
“CDAHK is the largest chiropractic Association across Asia. Our methodology further validates the prior data, incorporating the development of new technology and policies.” Dr. Jacky Yeung, PR of CDAHK discussed. The research currently being conducted will help chiropractors to identify grave pathologies, like cancer, that are more commonly seen in chiropractic clinics. The CDAHK is able to share information about the research to the public through our educational campaigns like for example, the World Spine Day.
