Jeff Langmaid (YouTube) summarizes research showing manual therapy produces neurophysiological, analgesic effects via the descending pain-modulation circuit. He reports a small statistical increase in beta-endorphin levels and observed decreases in neurotensin, orexin A, and oxytocin after spinal adjustment, and contrasts these natural healing processes with pharmaceutical approaches. The speaker emphasizes communicating these findings to the public.

Neurophysiological response to manual therapy and analgesic implication. Like who titles these things by the way? Anyhow, let's take a look at what they found here. Multiple reviews have also investigated the pain modulating mechanisms and are in agreement that it is neurophysiological. Through the descending pain modulation circuit, they also found a small and statistically increase in B endorphin levels, and they saw decreases in neurotensin orexin A decreases in oxytocin after the adjustment. Long story short is that is all good stuff. And in many of the cases, this is what's really wild. Pharmaceuticals like try to do this through chemical alteration. We do it through naturally healing processes. That's wild. That's awesome. And that is one of the many reasons, as I've elaborated on, that it's so critical that we get out there and continue to tell this story.
