The spinal manipulative therapy cohort (chiropractic adjustments) showed a greater reduction in pain than the nerve root injection cohort.

They found that the spinal manipulative therapy cohort had a greater reduction in pain than the nerve root injection cohort. They literally took steroids, injected it where the pain was. That should probably make somebody feel a little bit better. And then they took people and had a chiropractic adjustment. And we outperformed that. That's insane. That is the power of who we are and what we do.
