Background: Despite the progress made in better understanding the potential mechanisms of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) and its treatment effects, a knowledge gap continues to exist when identifying the specific factors that contribute to the perceived treatment effect associated with SMT. The purpose of the study was to explore the perceptions of chiropractic clinicians, interns, and patients regarding what factors during a doctor-patient encounter contribute to the perceived treatment effect associated with SMT.
Methods: This study used convenience sampling to enroll participants from a chiropractic teaching clinic in the United States.

Background: Previous reviews on serious adverse events (SAEs) following physical interventions involving the neck have focused on vascular SAEs or those related to cervical manipulation.
Objective: To review the evidence for all serious adverse events associated with any physical cervical procedures and describe SAE characteristics.
Methods: Searches were conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Scopus, Cochrane, Web of Science and Index to Chiropractic Literature from inception to May 2023 for studies reporting characteristics of SAE following any neck intervention and patient demographics.
Background And Aims: Butalbital is an acute headache medication commonly prescribed for tension-type headache (TTH), although discouraged by guidelines due to a risk of medication overuse headache (MOH). Considering spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) may reduce TTH frequency and intensity, we hypothesized adults with TTH receiving chiropractic SMT would be less likely to receive a butalbital prescription over 2 years versus matched controls not receiving SMT. We secondarily compared likelihood of MOH between cohorts.
