Reviewing Pederick’s 1997 Framework for Scientific Appraisal Cranial adjusting has long occupied a debated space within chiropractic and osteopathic practice. In 1997, Frank O. Pederick published a thoughtful analysis in Chiropractic Technique titled “A Kaminski-type Evaluation of Cranial Adjusting.” Rather than simply defending cranial techniques, Pederick applied an evaluative model — often attributed to Kaminski’s framework for assessing chiropractic methods — to systemat

Insights from Indahl et al. (1999) The sacroiliac (SI) joint is often discussed as a source of low back pain — but does it also play an active role in neuromuscular control? A pivotal animal study by Indahl, Kaigle, Reikeras, and Holm, published in the Journal of Spinal Disorders , investigated whether stimulation of the sacroiliac joint could trigger muscular activation in the trunk and hip. Their findings suggest the SI joint is not just a passive structure — it may be part

Why This Anatomy May Matter in Headache and Neck Pain In the proceedings of the 2000 International Conference of Spinal Manipulation, Kenin, Humphreys, Hubbard, and Cramer reported important findings regarding connective tissue attachments between the spinal dura and the posterior cervical structures. Their study, Attachments from the Spinal Dura to the Ligamentum Nuchae: Incidence, MRI Appearance, and Strength of Attachment , explored whether consistent anatomical connection
