Jeff Langmaid examines a new study showing that spinal adjustments may work through brain activity changes rather than direct joint manipulation. The research tracked neurophysiological responses in patients with lumbar disc herniation and chronic low-back pain, revealing that adjustments trigger cascading effects across multiple systems.
Question for you. What if one of the biggest reasons your adjustments help patients actually have nothing to do with the joint itself and everything to do with the brain? At first, that might sound a little provocative depending upon your level of understanding in the research, but today we're going to dive into a brand new study that looked at brain changes after an adjustment in patients, specifically those patients with lumbar disc herniation and chronic low back pain. Now, if you've been following along on this podcast for a little while, you know this is one of my favorite topics. The breadth and depth of what happens when you deliver an adjustment to a patient is massive. It's one of the challenges because it's hard to like just say this one thing happens. A lot of different things happen segmentally, regionally, systemically in the brain. There's a lot that happens biomechanically, et cetera. So this study dives into one of my favorite topics, which is highlighting when you deliver that adjustment, what's happening
