The Future of Specific Chiropractic
Combining time-tested principles with cutting-edge research for evidence-based care that delivers results.
Evidence-Based Specific Chiropractic Care
At ReGen Spine and Joint, we believe in the power of Specific Chiropractic care that's grounded in scientific evidence. Our approach combines the art, philosophy, and science of Specific Chiropractic with the latest research and technological advancements.
Evidence-based care means we integrate three key components in our treatment decisions:
- Clinical Expertise: Our practitioners' years of specialized training and experience
- Scientific Research: The best available peer-reviewed studies and clinical data
- Patient Values: Your unique needs, preferences, and health goals
This integrated approach ensures that our treatments are not only effective but also personalized to your specific condition and health objectives.
Research Supporting Specific Chiropractic Care
Low Back Pain
Multiple systematic reviews and clinical guidelines recommend spinal manipulation as an effective treatment for acute and chronic low back pain, with efficacy comparable or superior to conventional medical approaches.
Neck Pain & Headaches
Research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine shows that chiropractic care is more effective than medication for neck pain, while multiple studies demonstrate effectiveness for certain types of headaches.
Cost-Effectiveness
Studies indicate that chiropractic care is more cost-effective than conventional medical treatment for many musculoskeletal conditions, with lower rates of disability, medication use, and surgical interventions.
Vascular Considerations in Chiropractic Care
Understanding the intricate relationship between the cervical spine and vertebral arteries is crucial for safe and effective chiropractic care. The vertebral arteries travel through the transverse foramina of the cervical vertebrae before entering the skull to supply blood to the brain.
Evidence-Based Safety Protocols
At ReGen Spine and Joint, our practitioners are extensively trained in vertebrobasilar assessment and follow strict evidence-based protocols to ensure the safety of our adjustments. Research has shown that when proper screening and techniques are employed, specific chiropractic adjustments are extremely safe.
- Thorough Assessment:
Comprehensive vascular screening before any cervical adjustments
- Precision Techniques:
Low-force, specific adjustments that respect anatomical structures
- Ongoing Education:
Continuous training in the latest research and safety protocols
Benefits of Proper Cervical Alignment
Proper alignment of the cervical spine not only protects these vital blood vessels but can also improve blood flow to the brain, potentially enhancing cognitive function, reducing headaches, and improving overall neurological health.

Our evidence-based approach is enhanced by cutting-edge diagnostic tools that provide objective measurements of your body's condition. At ReGen Spine and Joint, we utilize advanced MyoVision T2 technology to evaluate inflammation in the body and precisely locate areas of concern for targeted treatment.
The MyoVision T2 system combines surface electromyography (sEMG) with thermal scanning technology to measure both muscle activity and temperature variations throughout your spine and surrounding tissues. This scientific approach allows us to:
- Measure Muscle Activity: Surface electromyography (sEMG) detects electrical activity in muscles, revealing areas of tension, spasm, and dysfunction.
- Detect Inflammation: Thermal scanning identifies temperature variations that indicate inflammation and increased blood flow to affected areas.
- Quantify Results: Numerical data allows us to track progress objectively throughout your care, ensuring treatments are effective.
- Evaluate Posture: Digital postural analysis identifies alignment issues and muscular imbalances that contribute to pain and dysfunction.
This technology provides a visual representation of problem areas that might not be visible or palpable during a standard examination, allowing for more targeted and effective treatment plans.
Benefits of MyoVision T2 Assessment
Real-World Clinical Applications
As shown in our thermal imaging examples, MyoVision T2 technology can reveal issues that aren't apparent through traditional examination methods:
- Identifying poor circulation in non-healing wounds and ulcers
- Detecting inflammation in joints and soft tissues
- Revealing temperature asymmetries that indicate nerve or vascular issues
- Monitoring progress of treatment by comparing before and after scans
The Future of Specific Chiropractic
Advanced Diagnostics
The future of Specific Chiropractic includes more sophisticated diagnostic tools that allow for precise assessment of spinal function, nervous system health, and biomechanics. These advancements enable more targeted and effective treatments.
Integrated Healthcare
Specific Chiropractic is increasingly becoming integrated with other healthcare disciplines, creating collaborative approaches that address the whole person. This integration ensures comprehensive care that combines the strengths of multiple specialties.
Expanding Research Base
The body of research supporting Specific Chiropractic care continues to grow, with studies exploring new applications, refining techniques, and documenting outcomes. This expanding evidence base strengthens the foundation of Specific Chiropractic practice.
Regenerative Technologies
Innovative technologies like our Stemwave therapy represent the cutting edge of Specific Chiropractic care, combining traditional adjustments with advanced regenerative approaches that enhance the body's natural healing capabilities.
Neuroplasticity Focus
Modern Specific Chiropractic is increasingly focused on neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections. Specific adjustments can positively influence this process, improving nervous system function.
Preventative Approach
The future of Specific Chiropractic emphasizes prevention rather than just treatment, with care plans designed to maintain optimal function, prevent injury, and support long-term health and wellness throughout the lifespan.
Our Commitment to Evidence-Based Excellence
Continuous Education
Our practitioners are committed to ongoing education, regularly attending conferences, seminars, and training programs to stay at the forefront of chiropractic research and techniques. This dedication ensures that our patients receive the most current and effective care available.
Measurable Outcomes
We believe in measuring progress with objective assessments. By tracking specific metrics related to your condition, we can quantify improvements, adjust treatment plans as needed, and demonstrate the effectiveness of our care approach.
Personalized Care Plans
Evidence-based care doesn't mean one-size-fits-all. We carefully assess each patient's unique condition, health history, and goals to create individualized treatment plans that combine proven approaches with personalized attention.
Transparent Communication
We believe in clearly explaining the scientific basis for our recommended treatments, discussing both benefits and limitations, and involving you as an active participant in your healthcare decisions. This transparency builds trust and leads to better outcomes.
The Best of Both Worlds
At ReGen Spine and Joint, we honor the rich tradition of chiropractic while embracing scientific advancement. This balanced approach delivers care that is both principled and progressive.
Rooted in Tradition
We maintain the core Specific Chiropractic principle that proper nervous system function is essential for health. Our specific adjustments are designed to remove interference and allow your body's innate intelligence to express itself fully.
Driven by Science
We embrace scientific research that validates and refines Specific Chiropractic techniques. Our evidence-based approach ensures that our methods are not only philosophically sound but also clinically effective.
