Recently, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized a decision to cover acupuncture for Medicare patients with chronic low back pain. Before this final National Coverage Determination (NCD) reconsideration, acupuncture was nationally non-covered by Medicare. CMS conducted evidence reviews and examined the coverage policies of private payers to inform today’s decision.

Chiropractic Integration into Private Sector Facilities
Chiropractic care may have value in improving patient outcomes and decreasing opioid use, but little is known about the impetus for or process of incorporating these services into conventional medical settings.
A 2018 study was published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine to describe organizational structures, care processes, and perceived value of chiropractic integration within U.S. private sector medical facilities.
Delivery of chiropractic services was perceived to have high value among patients, medical providers, and administration. Patient clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, provider productivity, and cost offset were identified as markers of clinic success.
The study concluded that a diverse group of U.S. private sector medical facilities have implemented chiropractic clinics, and a wide variety of facility stakeholders report high satisfaction with the care provided.

Whiplash Evaluation of Eye Head and Trunk Coordination
Motor vehicle accidents (MVA) are the most common causes of whiplash injuries. Difficulties with driving and changes in driving behavior are reported by subjects with chronic whiplash associated disorders (WAD).
Proper eye and head coordination is required for driving tasks. Disturbances of eye an head coordination were found in these subjects with chronic WAD.
The objective of a recent pilot study, published in Musculoskeletal Science and Practice, was to evaluate eye, head and trunk coordination in subjects with chronic WAD due to MVA and healthy controls during a target-tracking task using a functionally oriented approach in the context of driving.
This study shows indications of impairments of eye and head coordination in chronic WAD due to MVA when compared to healthy subjects. These alterations may have implications for driving safety.

Physical Activity and Exercise in Youth Mental Health
A recent scoping review, published in BMJ Open Sport & Exercise Medicine, examined the breadth and outcomes of controlled trials testing the effect of physical activity and exercise interventions across all mental health outcomes for mental health promotion and indicated prevention studies in young people.
Thirty publications were included. Available evidence suggested that interventions of varying intensity may lead to a reduction in depression symptoms and that moderate-to-vigorous-intensity and light-intensity interventions may reduce anxiety symptoms.
Effects of physical activity/exercise interventions on additional mental health outcomes were also shown; however, the number of studies was small, indicating a limited evidence base.
The review concluded that available evidence suggests that physical activity/exercise is a promising mental health promotion and early intervention strategy and warrants further investigation.

Chiro Patient Coping Techniques for Chronic LBP
The purpose of a recent study published in JMPT, was to describe coping strategies (eg, mechanisms, including self-treatment) that a person uses to reduce pain and its impact on functioning as reported by patients with chronic low back pain who were seen by doctors of chiropractic and how these coping strategies vary by patient characteristics.
Data were collected from a national sample of US chiropractic patients recruited from chiropractic practices in 6 states from major geographical regions of the United States using a multistage stratified sampling strategy.
A total of 1677 respondents with chronic low back pain reported using an average of 9 coping behaviors in the prior 6 months.
Exercise was more frequent among the healthy and those with less pain. Female respondents tended to report using more coping behaviors than men, and Hispanics more than non-Hispanics.
The study concluded that persons with chronic back pain were proactive in their coping strategies and frequently used self-care coping strategies like those provided by chiropractors in patient education.
In alignment with patients’ beliefs that their condition was chronic and lifelong, many patients attempted a wide range of coping strategies to relieve their pain.

And Now for some news ….
Amount and Intensity of Leisure-Time Physical Activity and Lower Cancer Risk
A recent study was published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology to determine whether recommended amounts of leisure-time physical activity are associated with lower cancer risk, describe the shape of the dose-response relationship, and explore associations with moderate- and vigorous-intensity physical activity.
In the United States, 1.7 million individuals are diagnosed with invasive cancer and > 600,000 people die as a result of malignant diseases annually,1 which highlights the importance of cancer prevention.
It has been long known that physical activity is associated with a lower risk of colon and breast cancer, but the 2018 US Physical Activity Guidelines Advisory Committee found strong evidence that physical activity is associated with a lower risk of several additional cancer sites, including endometrial, bladder, esophageal adenocarcinoma, kidney, and gastric.
Given this evidence, physical activity will play an increasingly important role in population-based cancer prevention efforts.
The study concluded that health care providers, fitness professionals, and public health practitioners should encourage adults to adopt and maintain physical activity at recommended levels to lower risks of multiple cancers.

Exercise and Depression
Exercise and advice can reduce pain and disability in patients with subacute low back pain. However, the mechanisms by which this combined intervention works are unclear.
The objective of a recent study published in the journal Musculoskeletal Science and Practice, was to estimate how much of the effect of a physiotherapist-directed exercise and advice intervention on pain and disability is mediated via changes in depressive symptoms.
The study concluded that depressive symptoms did not mediate the effect of exercise and/or advice in this sample. However, depressive symptoms were associated with pain and disability.

Relationship Between Forward Head Posture and Neck Pain
Forward head posture (FHP) is the most common cervical postural fault in the sagittal plane that is found with different severity levels in almost all populations. Despite claims that Forward head posture may be related to neck pain, this relation seems to be controversial.
Thus, the purpose of a recent review published in Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, is to determine whether Forward head posture differs between asymptomatic subjects and those with neck pain and to investigate if there is a relationship between head posture and neck pain.
This systematic review found that age played an important role as a confounding factor in the relation between FHP and neck pain.
Also, the results showed that adults with neck pain show increased Forward head posture when compared to asymptomatic adults and that Forward head posture is significantly correlated with neck pain measures in adults and older adults.
No association was found between Forward head posture and most of neck pain measures in adolescents.

Psychosocial Stress and Overweight and Obesity
Psychosocial stress has been implicated as a risk factor for overweight and obesity. However, research on psychosocial stressors and overweight and obesity has typically focused on single stressors in isolation, which may overestimate the impact of a specific stressor and fail to describe the role of cumulative stress on overweight and obesity risk.
A recent study, published in the journal Oxford Academic, explores the association between overweight/obesity and cumulative exposure to a wide range of psychosocial stressors, among a multiracial/ethnic sample of adults.
The study concluded that multiple types of stressors may be risk factors for obesity, and cumulative exposure to these stressors may increase the odds of obesity.
Reducing exposure to stressors at the population level may have the potential to contribute to reducing the burden of obesity.

Personal and Societal Impact of Low Back Pain
The aim of a recent study published in the journal Spine, was to study the personal and societal impact of low back pain (LBP) in patients admitted to a multidisciplinary spine center.
The socioeconomic burden of LBP is very high. A minority of patients visit secondary or tertiary care because of severe and long-lasting complaints. This subgroup may account for a major part of disability and costs, yet could potentially gain most from treatment.
Currently, little is known about the personal and societal burden in patients with chronic complex LBP visiting secondary/tertiary care.
The study concluded that in patients seeking multidisciplinary spine care, the personal and societal impact of LBP is very high.
Specifically, quality of life and work ability are poor and health care costs are twice as high compared to patients seeking primary LBP care.

Chronic LBP and Effectiveness of an Interdisciplinary Pain Program
The aim of a recent study published in the journal Spine, was to compare the effectiveness of PT to an interdisciplinary treatment approach in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
CLBP is a costly and potentially disabling condition. Physical therapy (PT), cognitive behavioral therapy, and interdisciplinary pain programs (IPPs) are superior to usual care.
Empirical evidence is lacking to clearly support one treatment approach over another in patients with CLBP.
One hundred seventeen adult patients who completed an IPP for individuals with ≥3 months of back pain were compared to 214 adult patients with similar characteristics who completed PT.
The Modified Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire was the primary outcome measure.
The study concluded that CLBP patients in an interdisciplinary pain programs demonstrated greater functional improvements compared to similar patients participating in PT.

Preoperative symptom duration and Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Lumbar degenerative stenosis is one of the most common spine pathologies for which surgical intervention is indicated. There is some evidence that a prolonged duration of neurological compression could lead to a failure of surgery to alleviate symptoms.
The purpose of a recent study published in The Spinal Journal, was determination of whether longer symptom duration was associated with worse postoperative disability outcomes after decompressive surgery for lumbar degenerative stenosis.
Change between preoperative and 12-month postoperative Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was compared between symptom duration groups. Secondary outcomes included SF12 physical component score (PCS), and numeric rating scales for leg and back pain.
The study concluded that multicenter registry data provides important real-world evidence to guide consent, surgical planning, and health resource management.
Longer symptom duration was found to correlate with less improvement in pain and disability after lumbar stenosis surgery suggesting that these patients may benefit from earlier treatment.

New City Chiropractic Center Collects Hundreds of Toys
And keeping in the Holiday Spirit, we finish this week about a story from New York, in the US.
New City Chiropractic Center was established in 1986 and set up a Toys for Tots donation center in their office that year. Over the past 33 years they have collected over 4,000 toys to donate to Toys for Tots.
Patients bring in toys throughout the holiday season and this year ConnectOneBank, with offices in Bardonia and Blauvelt, helped out by contributing several bags filled with toys.
In addition to serving thousands of patients over the past three decades, New City Chiropractic Center has been a leader in the community in many charitable ways.
They have dedicated their time and energy to numerous organizations including the annual Rockland Road Runners Turkey Trot Race, the MS Society, Wounded Warriors, Home Aides of Rockland, Blauvelt Sons of Italy, Keep Rockland Beautiful, and BRIDGES.
