Jeff Langmaid breaks down a study showing spinal adjustments alter thalamic neural metabolites in patients with chronic low back pain. The research suggests the adjustments change brain chemistry, not just spine mechanics.
On today's episode. We are back with another brand new study that is all around brain changes after spinal adjustments. Some clinical pearls, take home messages and a lot to dive into. Title of the study, the application of spinal manipulation results in alterations in thalamic neural metabolite among patients experiencing nonspecific chronic low back pain. And this is a good one. Chances are if you've been in practice more than a moment, you have seen a couple patients with non specific chronic low back pain. It's one of the most popular things we see in practice all day, every day. And the question I think has been answered to a certain degree. Yet there is still so much more to uncover in terms of how exactly does it work? Meaning when somebody receives a spinal adjustment in your practice, they walk out happier, healthier, moving better, feeling better, functionally improved. How's that work? And today's study starts to highlight some of the answers to that question.
