We are excited to announce Dr. Capoferri's induction into the Spinal Biomechanics & Trauma Fellowship.
After two years of extensive studying and seven completed medical/surgical rotations, Dr. Capoferri was recognized as THE FIRST Chiropractor in the United States to join as a Fellow in Spinal Biomechanics and Trauma.
Capoferri is always striving to be the Best of the Best, and this accomplishment continues to set him apart. The achievement's presentation was conducted at the recent Primary Spine Care Symposium.
Dr. Capoferri attended the Academy of Chiropractic’s, Post-Doctoral Primary Spine Care Conference in NY this past weekend
A panel of highly credentialed Medical Specialists presented discussions on Discs, Stroke, Imaging Protocols, Mild Traumatic Brain Injury, and Neurosurgery protocols, just to name a few.
The Doctors on this panel are members of our team & yours, here to serve the needs of our patients. They are only a phone call, email or text away.
Headaches are reported in 90% of auto injury patients. Chiropractic is proven to be an effective approach for many different types of headache pain!
Dr. Capoferri is awesome! Here he is presenting to doctors attending the Primary Spine Care Symposium in New York, Sunday, January 22, 2017. We had a great time hanging out with our friends Dr. Robert Peyster, head of Neuroradiology, Stony Brook University School of Medicine and his wife, Joy. He is the leading expert on MRI.
Many patients will seek chiropractor care for neck pain and headaches. In the great majority of cases, the pain involved is not related to a stroke. However, on occasion, it may be. When the pain is related to a stroke, some of these patients developed a full range of stroke symptoms. Over the years, reports in the popular press and the scientific literature have suggested or stated outright that in patients who experience a stroke following chiropractic care, the stroke was caused by the chiropractor!
We now know that this is very unlikely to be the case. What is far more likely is that the patient developed a thrombus or embolism in their vertebral arteries, producing neck pain and headache. This person sought health care for the pain. Whether they saw a chiropractor or their medical provider, they would progress on to a stroke at virtually the same rate. While the argument that the chiropractor caused the problem is convenient, the science indicates that it is in all likelihood a mistake to draw such a conclusion.
Vertebrobasilar artery stroke is a very rare event in the population. The increased risks of vertebrobasilar artery stroke associated with chiropractic and PCP visits is likely due to patients with a headache and neck pain from vertebrobasilar artery dissection seeking care before their stroke. We found no evidence of excess risk of vertebrobasilar artery stroke associated chiropractic care compared to primary care.
This study compares conventional sciatica surgery to the newer method, finds new method may not be better. Another study concludes with the recommendation of trying chiropractic before surgery.
Correct posture is a simple but very important way to keep the intricate structures in the back and spine healthy. Good posture and back support are critical to reducing the incidence and severity of back and neck pain.
