Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of side-posture positioning and spinal adjusting on the lumbar Z joints: a randomized controlled trial with sixty-four subjects.
Gregory D. Cramer,Douglas Gregerson,J Todd Knudsen,Bradley B. Hubbard,Leah M Ustas,Joe A. Cantu +5 more
TL;DR: Spinal adjusting produced increased separation (gapping) of the Z joints and side-posture positioning also produced gapping, but less than that seen with lumbar side- posture adjusting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dimensions of the lumbar intervertebral foramina as determined from the sagittal plane magnetic resonance imaging scans of 95 normal subjects.
Gregory D. Cramer,Joe A. Cantu,Richard D Dorsett,Jay S Greenstein,Marion McGregor,Joseph E Howe,William V. Glenn +6 more
TL;DR: The morphometric database and IVF relationships should aid clinicians and researchers in evaluating patients with suspected foraminal stenosis and help further investigate IVF pathology and treatment of such pathology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Zygapophyseal Joint Space Changes (Gapping) in Low Back Pain Patients following Spinal Manipulation and Side Posture Positioning: A Randomized Controlled Mechanisms Trial with Blinding
Gregory D. Cramer,Jerrilyn A. Cambron,Joe A. Cantu,Jennifer M. Dexheimer,Judith D. Pocius,Douglas Gregerson,Michael Fergus,Ray A. McKinnis,Thomas J. Grieve +8 more
TL;DR: Side-posture positioning appeared to have additive therapeutic benefit to SMT and Visual analog scale and Bournemouth questionnaire improved after 2 weeks of care in all groups (both P < .0001).
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating the relationship among cavitation, zygapophyseal joint gapping, and spinal manipulation: an exploratory case series.
Gregory D. Cramer,Kim Ross,Judith D. Pocius,Joe A. Cantu,Evelyn Laptook,Michael Fergus,Doug Gregerson,Scott Selby,P. K. Raju +8 more
TL;DR: The feasibility of conducting larger studies assessing the relationship between cavitation and zygapophyseal (Z) joint gapping following spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) is determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantification of Cavitation and Gapping of Lumbar Zygapophyseal Joints during Spinal Manipulative Therapy
Gregory D. Cramer,Kim Ross,P. K. Raju,Jerrilyn A. Cambron,Joe A. Cantu,Preetam Bora,Jennifer M. Dexheimer,Ray A. McKinnis,Adam R. Habeck,Scott Selby,Judith D. Pocius,Douglas Gregerson +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used previously validated methods to quantify and relate 2 phenomena associated with chiropractic spinal manipulative therapy (SMT): (1) cavitation and (2) the simultaneous gapping (separation) of the lumbar zygapophyseal (Z) joint spaces.
