This problem has beset the medical profession for many years; now, it appears, chiropractors are falling into the same trap.Evidence-based balderdashMartin Young10.1016/j.clch.2010.04.010Clinical Chiropractic 13, 2 (2010)2010-06-01Clinical Chiropractic2010-06-01132S1479-2354(10)X0004-9Editorial141142http://www.clinchiropractic.com/article/PIIS1479235410001070/abstract?rss=yesOn 17 January 2010, the Dutch broadcasting company Vara screened a documentary entitled “Life threatening therapists”. Two cases were presented: the first case described a 42-year-old male who suffered a bilateral vertebral artery dissection in a chiropractic office; the second case was that of a 3-month-old girl who died during a treatment from a craniosacral therapist. Several people were interviewed including the chiropractic patient; the parents of the dead infant; professor of alternative medicine E. Ernst; former minister of Public Health, E. Borst; a neurologist F. van Kooten; and paediatricians P. Brand and C. Verlaat. The NCA (the Dutch Chiropractic Association) offered to have Prof. van Tulder respond to the first case but the directors refused the contribution.“Life threatening therapists”Bert Ameloot10.1016/j.clch.2010.03.003Clinical Chiropractic 13, 2 (2010)2010-06-01Clinical Chiropractic2010-06-01132S1479-2354(10)X0004-9Commentary143145http://www.clinchiropractic.com/article/PIIS1479235410001343/abstract?rss=yesA 68-year-old male presented with thoracic pain and a feeling of “heaviness” in his lower thoracic spine, which had been present for several months. He had previously consulted his general practitioner who had ordered imaging of this region to examine it further. The sensation of heaviness and pain had been progressive, though the patient could not recall for how long. In 1977, the patient had been involved in a car accident wherein his car had been hit from behind. In the year prior to presentation, the patient had had a prostatic adenoma of the median lobe removed ().Geriatric chronic, progressive thoracic pain: Case presentationMichelle A.

It is hoped that this overview may bring to the attention of chiropractors the diverse symptoms and signs of dyspraxia and the sometimes subtle and yet debilitating effect it can have upon the patient and their treatment outcome.Dyspraxia in general chiropractic practiceRobin Pauc10.1016/j.clch.2010.04.008Clinical Chiropractic 13, 2 (2010)2010-06-01Clinical Chiropractic2010-06-01132S1479-2354(10)X0004-9Literature Review148152http://www.clinchiropractic.com/article/PIIS1479235410000416/abstract?rss=yesSummary: Anomalies of the structures related to the scalene triangle have been reported in the literature as a cause of either vascular or neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS). This case report details a male cadaver with a right anterior scalene muscle that was split into two bellies, enclosing the right subclavian artery anteriorly and posteriorly. The trunks of the brachial plexus ran in the space between the posterior belly of the anomalous anterior scalene and the normal middle scalene muscles.The earliest report about this anomaly that could be retrieved from the literature was recorded in 1875. The clinical implication of this anomaly involves the possible risk of developing vascular or neurogenic TOS with compression of the subclavian artery between the two bellies of the anterior scalene and/or compression of the trunks of the brachial plexus between the posterior belly of anterior scalene and middle scalene muscles.A bifurcated anterior scalene muscle: A case reportEmile Goubran, Jonathan Carlos, Samir Ayad10.1016/j.clch.2010.02.020Clinical Chiropractic 13, 2 (2010)2010-06-01Clinical Chiropractic2010-06-01132S1479-2354(10)X0004-9Case Report153155http://www.clinchiropractic.com/article/PIIS147923541000043X/abstract?rss=yes This guidebook was compiled to be a useful resource for athletes and coaches who encounter sport-induced injuries.
