This remarkable article did not get the press it deserved in our profession, much less the medical/cardiology specialties involved. It is a bit long and dense for a lay patient read, but still worth your time if you have 20 minutes to invest.

The article is quite remarkable for two “radical” implications:

• The inter-phase between two seemingly distant branches of health care is proposed as being so intertwined as being virtually co-delivered, even in settings such as inpatient hospital rounds, where Chiropractors are (not yet) the norm.

• The Cardiologist co-authoring the paper is very aware of the Chiropractic role in affecting the nervous system, and in this case more specifically the autonomic control of cardiovascular functions. This is a welcome departure from the “pigeon hole” of low back pain that Chiropractic seems to find itself relegated to as it starts to “integrate” within the larger medical complex.
