Objective: The purpose of this review was to determine the most commonly reported and utilized low back pain (LBP) Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) within the chiropractic literature and to investigate their temporal and methodological publication characteristics.
Methods: A systematic search of English-language publications in 5 electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane [CENTRAL], CINAHL/EBSCO, PsycINFO, and Index to Chiropractic Literature) was conducted for articles published from the inception of each database through June 2016.
Results: One hundred forty-four articles were retrieved that utilized 75 different LBP PROMs. The 4 most commonly used LBP PROMs in the chiropractic literature were the Oswestry Disability Index, Numeric Rating Scale, Visual Analogue Scale, and Roland Morris Questionnaire.
Conclusions: This research has created a unique list of the most commonly used LBP PROMs within the chiropractic literature.

Neuromuscular Response to High-Velocity, Low-Amplitude Spinal Manipulation-An Overview.
Medicina (Kaunas)
January 2025
Department of Physical Therapy, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL 35294, USA.
The clinical use of spinal manipulation to treat musculoskeletal conditions has nearly tripled in the United States since 1980, and it is currently recommended by most global clinical guidelines as a conservative treatment for musculoskeletal pain, despite a lack of knowledge concerning its mechanisms of action. This overview highlights evidence of direct neuromuscular responses to high-velocity, low-amplitude spinal manipulation (HVLA-SM) as delivered by chiropractic, osteopathic, and physical therapy clinicians, with an intent to foster greater interprofessional dialogue and collaborative research to better address current gaps in mechanistic knowledge of the neuromuscular response to HVLA-SM. Three databases (PubMed, CINAHL Ultimate (EBSCO), EMBASE (Elsevier)) were searched from 2000 to December 2024 with specific search terms related to thrust HVLA-SM and the neuromuscular response.
