Acute Lumbar Schmorl's Node Following Chiropractic Adjustment.

Schmorl's nodes are typically an incidental finding whereby a disc herniates into the vertebral body. The clinical course is rarely symptomatic. Here, we present a 41-year-old male who, following chiropractic manipulation, developed an acute Schmorl's node.

A Case Report Examining a Contraindication for Mechanical Thrombectomy in the Setting of a Large Vessel Occlusion and a Concurrent Contralateral Intracranial Hemorrhage.

An acute ischemic stroke occurring contralateral to a hemorrhagic stroke is an uncommon occurrence that presents unique challenges. Hemorrhages have classically been described as a contraindication for mechanical thrombectomy. However, the natural course of a large vessel occlusion with or without decompressive hemicraniectomy is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

Investigating the Correlation Between Anterior-Posterior and Lateral Asymmetric Muscular Balance With Low Back Pain.

Objective The objective of this pilot study was to determine if there is a correlation between the proposed physical testing protocol and low back pain. The proposed physical testing protocol is an attempt to assess muscular asymmetry in the anterior-posterior plane and the lateral plane. Methods A total of 96 volunteers were recruited from Touro University after obtaining IRB approval.
