A survey of 4,000 doctors found 45% of chiropractors use scientific resources daily, but Jeff Langmaid says the real problem is translating dry research into language patients actually understand. He breaks down how to communicate findings clearly in practice.

Now, another interesting statistic referenced in the paper. It comes from a survey of nearly 4,000 docs, a pretty good size. It found that 45% of chiropractors report using scientific resources daily to support communication. So that's pretty encouraging. It shows that many chiropractors out there, almost half, are actively using research to educate patients. Now, as you've heard me talk about in this podcast, you got to communicate the right way, you know, because research itself is usually pretty dry, pretty boring, and pretty hard to understand. So hopefully some some of what you're getting at if you're a listener of this podcast for a while is the understanding on how to communicate research in a simple fashion. What are the key aspects and how can you apply it to the communication that you have in your practice?
