Does treatment force matter?
A look at manipulation skill in patient contexts
TORONTO, July 19, 2011 — On August 18, 2011, Dynamic Chiropractic magazine will play host to a free interactive webinar that will discuss compelling evidence about the importance of accuracy, control and skill in chiropractic manipulation.

Triano, DC, PhD, currently Dean, Graduate Education & Research, Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, Toronto, and Associate Professor at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario.
Referring to the latest research, Dr. Triano will discuss the benefits of rehearsed practice and quantifiably measuring the complex physical forces involved in the chiropractic adjustment, as well as strategies for practitioners to assess their personal skill in manual technique. He will also explore the benefits and risks of the inaccurate, excessive or moderate application of force in manipulation, to both the patient and the practitioner's practice.

About Dr. John J. Triano
Dr. John Triano, DC, PhD, graduated with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, Missouri, in 1973 and has a PhD in Mechanical Engineering & Applied Mechanics and Spine Biomechanics from the University of Michigan.
He currently serves as Dean, Graduate Education & Research, at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, in Toronto, and as an Associate Professor at McMaster University, in Hamilton, Ontario. Before moving to Canada in 2006 he was Director, Chiropractic Division, of the Texas Back Institute in Plano, Texas, and a Research Professor in the Joint Biomedical Engineering Program at the University of Texas.

Dr. Triano is widely recognized as one of the foremost North American authorities on the conservative management of back pain and served on the AHCPR expert panel for the US Department of Health and Human Services, which produced the first national clinical guidelines on back pain, acute low back problems in adults, in 1993.
When sports chiropractors first appeared at the Olympic Games in the 1980s, it was alongside individual athletes who had experienced the benefits of chiropractic care in their training and recovery processes at home. Fast forward to Paris 2024, where chiropractic care was available in the polyclinic for all athletes, and the attitude has now evolved to recognize that “every athlete deserves access to sports chiropractic."
It is estimated that 61% of patients with CTS avoid taking surgical options due to postoperative complications and costly surgical procedures. Chiropractic care offers a comprehensive and effective treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome, addressing the condition from multiple angles. Recent studies also have unveiled a game-changing adjunct to chiropractic treatments for CTS: nerve flossing.
Some doctors thrive in a personality-based clinic and have a loyal following no matter what services or equipment they offer, but for most chiropractic offices who are trying to grow and expand, new equipment purchases help us stay relevant and continue to service our client base in the best, most up-to-date manner possible. So, regarding equipment purchasing: should you lease, get a bank loan, or pay cash?
