Jeff Langmaid reviewed 170 studies on spinal adjustments and fMRI. Ten met the criteria: all used fMRI to measure brain activity before and after adjustment, providing imaging evidence instead of theory.
You know, most research doesn't specifically answer a question. It actually generates more questions. And that's why research is a journey, not a destination. And that can be frustrating when you first start to get into the research realm. You're like, isn't there an answer to anything? The answer is yes, but it's really more about the educational journey. So this study specifically was a scoping review, meaning that they systematically searched all of the literature out there. So they searched the 8 major databases. They looked through almost 170 articles and they found 10 studies that met their criteria. These studies all used functional MRI to look at brain activity both before and after a spinal adjustment. So this was not theoretical. This is imaging-based evidence based upon multiple studies.
