Job duties will include working with the Deans and curricular management committee to fine-tune our basic science department. Dr. Gillard Was Just Appointed Again to the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners Test Writing Committee. I was originally appointed to this prestigious committee in 2019 and then appointed for a second time this year (2020) . Dr. Gillard Was Just Promoted to Full Professor of Clinical Science After teaching full-time at Palmer College of Chiropractic for five years, I was promoted to full Professor of Clinical Science in July, 2019 I am currently (9-26-20) teaching the following classes: Spinal Anatomy (Lecture and Lab); Cardiovascular Pulmonary Pathology (Lecture and Lab); Gastrointestinal and Urogenital Pathology (Lecture and Lab); Endocrinology II, and Dermatology. The Legacy Research Pages Is Back Online! (September, 2018). Back by popular demand, I have republished the old research page which many of you have requested over the last year. On these 40 pages, I review some classic papers of the last three decades, studies that you have to know, if you want to call yourself a spine expert. And don't forget, I have a Current Research Blog (in draft form), which can be viewed at this link: Current Research Blog. Dr. Gillard Gets Published again in the well-respected Spine Journal: The Journal of Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery (June, 2018). Dr. Gillard Gets Published Again In a first of its kind study, Dr. Gillard successfully wrote and published the results of a fascinating neurosurgical study carried out by Dr. Burak Ozgur, Chief of Neurosurgery for One Brain & Spine Center, Irvine, California. This cadaveric study demonstrated that traditional cage-packing techniques did not adequately fill the space between the vertebral endplate and the cage during lateral lumbar interbody fusion (XLIF). This potential problem (which could lead to failed fusion) could be overcome by using a novel bone graft delivery system.

Warning: It is absolutely mandatory to read my disclaimer before entering and reading this website. Never act on any of the information gleaned from these pages without first discussing it with your primary health care provider.The information on this website is for educational purposes only. Mission Statement The purpose of this evidence-based website, which has been written in an easy-to-understand language, is to educate the layperson, healthcare profession student, and healthcare professional about the common causes of chronic back and leg pain, and the available evidence-based treatment options for those conditions. The impetus for the building of ChiroGeek.com came after suffering a failed microdiscectomy in 2003 which ruined my life. If only I would've known the things I know now, I would've never had that surgery! The only good thing that came out of the failed surgery was that it turned me into a research monster-- I truly believe there's no one on the planet more up-to-date with spinal medical research than I. It is my hope that by studying these pages you will become educated about your condition and then know what questions to ask your spine surgeon. Consult (Speak) with Dr. GillardIf you would like to consult (speak) with me regarding your chronic pain and current situation, I would be happy to do that through an on-line consultation service, which I call a coaching session. You can learn more about this service at this link: Consult with Dr. Gillard. What do my thousands of coaching clients have to say about my consultation service? Jump over to my testimonial page to find out: The Testimonial Page. I am a huge believer in only putting forth information that is based on science which can be supported by solid research evidence and came from high impact spine journals (preferably meta-analyses). I have treated/coached/consulted thousands of patients in the last 34 years and have seen just about every possible spine condition that is out there. I was previously the Spine Research Coordinator for the very prestigious Steadman Philippon Research Institute and the Director of Spine Research for its spine surgeon, Dr. Donald Corenman, MD. As a result of this journey, I have been published in some very high-impact spine journals, including the Journal SPINE. Check out the paper at this link: Corenman & Gillard: TLIF for Chronic Discogenic Pain I previously worked for another famous spine surgeon, Dr. Burak Ozgur, MD, neural spine surgeon, where I was published once again: (Read the Publication) I am a full Professor of Clinical Science where I teach all the School's Clinical Pathology, Dermatology, and Spinal Anatomy. Last but not least, I am one of you, for I suffer chronic back and leg pain from a botched microdiscectomy and truly know the horrors of living with chronic pain and severe disability. No matter how compassionate a person is, they just can't understand the horror of chronic debilitating pain unless that person has experienced it themselves. Coordinator of Basic Science – Palmer West Former Coordinator of Radiology – Palmer West Pinned: Dr. Gillard, who was the Lead Author on this one (designed it, wrote it, and got it published), gets another paper accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed, top-notch, international medical journal named International Orthopaedics. You may read the paper at this link: Gillard-Does Prior Spine Surgery Decrease the Chance of Successful Interbody Fusion? In the summer of 2020, I was appointed by Palmer Chiropractic College-West as the first-ever Coordinator of Basic Sciences. Main job duty is to work with the Deans and Curriculum Management Committee to Find-Tune Our Basic Science Department.

I currently teach the following classes: Spinal Anatomy (Lecture and Wet Lab); Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Pathology (Lecture and Lab); Gastrointestinal and Urogenital Pathology (Lecture and Lab); Endocrinology; and Dermatology. in June 2018, a paper I designed and wrote was published in the peer-reviewed Journal of Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery. The Study Was Based on the Work of Respected Spine Surgeon Dr. Burak Ozgur, MD and involved assessing a in situ cage packing technique for Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion. You can review the paper at this link: Ozgur & Gillard XLIF Paper Every spine researcher's dream is to get an article published in the Journal SPINE, which is the top spine journals in the world. This dream has come true, for the paper I designed and wrote has been accepted for publication! It was based on clinical outcomes of Dr. Donald Corenman's Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) surgical technique. You can read the abstract at this link: Corenman & Gillard TLIF Paper . Radiologists Perform Really Poorly! I've been saying for years how terrible many radiologists are at picking out common pain-causing disorders of the lumbar spine from MRI images, but now I have some evidence based proof that this is true. The bottom line was absolutely embarrassing to the radiology world: they were just terrible at properly identifying and describing three very common causes of back and leg pain, which included disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and spondylolisthesis! [Read More] Discography Damages the Disc! As I have predicted for years, based on the sheep studies from the 1990s, this award-winning study has demonstrated that a the needle-stick-injury to the disc, which occurs during discography, significantly increases the chances of future herniation, degenerative disc disease, Modic change, and discopathy, as compared to discs that are not stuck with a needle. 2020 D.
