Evidence-Based Updates on non MSK conditions: What does the recent literature suggest?

Undoubtebly one of the most contentious aspects of chiropractic care is the treatment of non-MSK disorders via manual treatment, specifically SMT.  When reading the article is really dated with regards to the evidence of DCs treating non-MSK.  Significant research has been compiled by the CCPG (USA) with respect to this topic and it is by far the most thorogh look at the literature as it pertains to chiropractic care for non MSK issues and the levels of supporting each for various conservative interventions.

There are also excellent clinical chiropractic guidelines on the treatment of mechanical neck pain not due to whiplash published by the Canadian Chiropractic Association.  These sets of guidelines, prepared by a majority of DC/PhDs, have already carefully investigated the literature and make formal recommendations based on the evidence.  These guidelines, done in 2007 and 2006, respectively should be included especially when dealing with controversial topics such as infantile colic, dysmennorhea, otitis media and other non-MSK complaints.
