Impressive recognition for ChiCo-based research paper

The editorial team of Chiropractic & Manual Therapies has named the paper Multimorbidity in patients with low back pain in Danish chiropractic practice: a cohort study as the Paper of the Year 2023.

The paper was selected as the best paper of the year in Chiropractic & Manual Therapies out of the 50 papers published by the journal in 2023.

The paper is based on data from ChiCo, and the researchers conclude that chiropractors should be aware that patients with LBP may suffer from multimorbidity with poor general health. Patients with multimorbidity also have poorer recovery from LBP than people without chronic disease and clinical follow-up may be indicated.

Jan Hartvigsen, senior researcher at the Chiropractic Knowledge Hub and Professor at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU), is one of the authors of the paper.

Congratulations to the researchers behind this study!
