Young's research interests focus on chiropractic care, musculoskeletal manipulations, systematic reviews, and low back pain management. Her work examines clinical practices for spinal pain, particularly investigating reassurance techniques in primary care settings and the clinical course of spinal pain in adolescents. She has contributed significantly to understanding the effectiveness of spinal manipulative therapy through network meta-analyses.
Her recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on evidence-based chiropractic practice, with particular attention to patient-reported outcomes and clinical decision-making processes. Young's research often employs mixed-methods approaches, combining qualitative insights with quantitative analyses to address gaps in chiropractic knowledge.
Young has been actively involved in significant research projects including the Young-COAST feasibility study examining spinal pain in adolescents and research validating chiropractic assessment of spinal stiffness using the VerteTrack system. Her collaborative work spans multiple institutions and involves interdisciplinary research teams.
As a presenter at academic conferences, Young has shared findings on the bench-top performance of the VerteTrack system for spinal stiffness assessment, demonstrating her commitment to advancing chiropractic assessment methodologies.
