Impulse Research
Dr. Chris Colloca is actively involved in chiropractic research.
Together with Tony S. Keller, Ph.D., Chair, Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Vermont (Burlington, VT) and other collaborations, Dr. Colloca has been involved in basic science, clinical, and outcomes research. Surface electromyographic mount for collection of neuromuscular responses during chiropractic adjustments. Since 1998, Dr. Keller has made bi-yearly visits to Dr. Colloca's clinical research facility to conduct chiropractic research on actual patients. Together, they have now collected data on Neuromuscular responses to chiropractic adjustments using surface electromyography. This work has led to several studies presented at international scientific spine conferences and subsequent publications in the biomedical literature.

Some
of the most exciting and unique original research involves
neurophysiological recordings from the spinal nerve roots in patients
undergoing spinal surgery in conjunction with orthopaedic surgeons.
Neurophysiological responses have been recorded during chiropractic adjustments for the first time with such a protocol.
