Jeff Langmaid discusses a study showing spinal adjustments change brain activity in the default mode network, the part that processes pain. Adjustments appear to alter how the brain handles chronic low back pain signals.

There was another study that came out just a couple of years ago about changes in brain activity. It's always been nice to think we kind of change things. No, we do. There's not a question about that at this point in time. So we impact an area of the brain called the dmn. How does that happen? Well, you can see right here at the bottom, we see alterations after an adjustment, especially with people with chronic low back pain, changing how the DMN lights up when they're measuring things. What does that change mean? It's part of how the brain responds to pain, and we're literally altering that. Like, this blows my mind when I think about hands on a human being and an adjustment being performed. And that input integrates into literally how their brain is processing information. That is wild. That is absolutely wild. I love it.
