071- Dr. Cesar Hincapie – Chiropractic, Lumbar Disc Herniations, Nerve Root Injections

Dr. Cesar Hincapie and I discuss his research involving chiropractic, lumbar disc herniations and nerve root injections. He describes the ongoing SALuBRITY trial which is the first-ever chiropractic randomized clinical trial funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and is also partially funded by the European Centre for Chiropractic Research Excellence.

Dr. Cesar Hincapié completed his clinical training as a Doctor of Chiropractic (DC, 2003) at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, in Toronto, Canada. While maintaining a clinical practice, he earned a MHSc (2008) and a PhD (2015) in epidemiology at the University of
Toronto. During his PhD, he was awarded a Canadian Institutes of Health Research Fellowship in knowledge translation. After several years of research, clinical, and teaching activities, Dr. Hincapié completed postdoctoral training in clinical trials and injury epidemiology at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute of St. Michael’s Hospital (University of Toronto affiliated academic hospital). In 2019, he was recruited to the University of Zurich as an International Chiropractic Research Fellow and served as head of clinical research within the Department of Chiropractic Medicine at Balgrist University Hospital and University of Zurich. As of August 2022, Cesar joined the Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Prevention Institute at the University of Zurich as Senior Scientist and Head of the Musculoskeletal Epidemiology Research Group.

The Musculoskeletal Epidemiology Research Group is an interdisciplinary research team focused on producing high quality and relevant research related to musculoskeletal and spine health and care. Their work applies a clinical epidemiological perspective to the area of musculoskeletal health and care. Dr. Hincapié is the principal investigator of the SALuBRITY randomised clinical trial, which is assessing the comparative effectiveness of spinal manual therapy and corticosteroid nerve root injection for the management of patients with sciatica.

070- Dr. Alice Cade – Chiropractic, Eye Tracking and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

In this interview, Dr Alice Cade discusses her interests of eye function and chiropractic amongst other topics. Dr. Cade is a clinician-scientist and senior lecturer at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, with adjunct appointments in neuroscience research and teaching at the University of Auckland and the Scotland College of Chiropractic. Her research centers on how spinal function and dysfunction influence oculomotor control, multisensory integration, and neuroplasticity, particularly in the context of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Alice’s doctoral work used computerized eye tracking to examine visual markers of concussion, and her ongoing studies explore how spinal care may alter visual attention, eye tracking, and sensorimotor performance in both clinical and subclinical populations.

With a strong interest in translational science, Alice integrates VR-based behavioural testing, eye tracking, and chiropractic care to better understand brain-body interactions and to develop accessible, non-invasive tools for identifying and monitoring neurological dysfunction. She has presented this work to chiropractic, neuroscience, and vision science communities internationally and remains committed to advancing interdisciplinary, clinically meaningful research that strengthens both patient care and the profession’s scientific foundation.

068- Dr. Felipe Duarte – Neurobiology related to chronic musculoskeletal conditions and spinal manipulation

Dr. Felipe C. K. Duarte graduated from Feevale University-Brazil in 2008. He has clinical experience as a chiropractor and three other degrees (postgrad dip: Exercise Physiology; MSc: Human Physiology; PhD: Neuroscience). Between 2019 and 2023, he held a research-intensive position at CMCC-Toronto as a postdoctoral fellow and research associate in a rehab research-focused hospital (KITE-Toronto Rehab Institute-UHN, Toronto). Since 2023 Felipe is a senior lecturer at the School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences, Chiropractic Discipline, Central Queensland University, Australia. He also holds Adjunct professor status at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College.

His research interests aim to (1) investigate the neurobiological and neuromechanical mechanisms underlying highly prevalent disabling chronic musculoskeletal conditions, such as chronic spinal pain, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, and osteoarthritis, which are of great concern to public health systems; (2) Investigate the underlying mechanisms of rehab strategies such as force-based mechanotherapy (e.g., spinal manipulation), focusing on the neurobiological and neuro-immune factors; (3) use these biological determinants to explore their potential for patient stratification in chronic MSK conditions and to spinal manipulation (e.g., responders x non-responders).

Felipe has experience in various methodologies and study designs to address his research interests, which range from molecular biology to neuroimaging and clinical epidemiology. Felipe also possesses direct teaching experience in Biochemistry, Physiology, Neuromusculoskeletal Anatomy, Neuroanatomy, and Clinical Neurological Assessment and Diagnosis at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

067- Dr. Caroline Fagundes Discusses Vertebral Artery Strain, Posture and Falls

Dr. Caroline Fagundes and I discuss vertebral artery strain, posture and falls in this episode of the chiropractic science podcast. Dr. Fagundes always knew that her professional field would be in healthcare, and when she read about chiropractic, there were no doubts about which profession to choose. She graduated from chiropractic school in 2008 but continued to seek answers, which led her to a graduate degree in kinesiology at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil).  This is where she also had her first contact with the research of Professor Walter Herzog.

In 2017, she was awarded a scholarship for the Master’s Degree in Cultural Diversity and Social Inclusion, in the area of Health and Social Inclusion – Aging. Her research was about the relationship between static posture and falls in elderly. In her PhD, also carried out with a scholarship, she continued to study this relationship and in 2021 she was awarded a scholarship to study abroad. Dr. Fagundes embarked on a trip to Calgary, Canada in September to study the strain caused in the vertebral artery during cervical movements and cSMT with Professor Herzog. She returned to Brazil in February 2022, and then finished her PhD and currently works as a chiropractor and acupuncturist in her own office in the South of Brazil.
