Chiropractic & Manual Therapies is pleased to announce an exciting new initiative: The Masterclass Seminar Series: Translating Evidence into Practice, which is set to launch at the end of 2025.

This innovative series will feature invited, expert-led masterclasses designed to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and everyday clinical decision-making. Each article will focus on a topic of high relevance to chiropractors and other manual therapy professionals, presenting the latest evidence in a format that is practical, accessible, and ready for implementation in clinic.

The central aim is clear: to answer the question, “How can I improve patient care on Monday?” Each article published in the masterclass will distill complex findings into evidence-informed take-home messages, supported by visual aids such as tables, bullet points, and infographics. Topics will range widely—from primary care spine practice and advanced diagnostics, to interdisciplinary collaboration, digital health innovations, and emerging issues in patient management.

Articles will be authored by leading experts from around the world, each carefully selected for their authority in the subject area. While the focus will be on strong academic grounding, the emphasis is on clinical applicability, ensuring the series becomes an indispensable resource for busy clinicians.

To maintain academic rigor, all manuscripts will undergo the journal’s standard peer review process. Each article will be formatted in a commentary-style, with a dedicated section outlining practical clinical implications.

This series reflects Chiropractic & Manual Therapies’ mission to not only advance scholarly discourse but to provide tangible tools that improve the quality of patient care across diverse practice settings.

The first installment -- launching in late 2025 -- will focus on care for older adults, with future topics including self-management, cognitive functional therapy, primary spine care and much more. We invite you to join us in transforming the way research informs everyday clinical practice.
