Dr. Jeff Langmaid (Evidence Based Chiropractor) introduces a new Journal of Clinical Medicine study titled "Treatment and Response Factors in Muscle Activation during Spinal Manipulation." The video will cover key takeaways, clinical pearls, and why the findings matter in practice. The study examines forces applied during spinal adjustments and resulting neuromuscular responses in the paraspinal muscles.

Hello and welcome to the Evidence Based Chiropractor. I am your host Dr. Jeff Langme. This week we are back with more research, another brand new study that just came out in the Journal of Clinical Medicine and it is titled Treatment and Response Factors in Muscle Activation during Spinal Manipulation. We're going to talk about take home messages in this study, some clinical pearls as well as why it matters to practice day in and day out. We're going to go through all that and more. And of course, I'll drop a link to this study down in the show notes if you want to check it out. What is this all about? Well, there are forces applied during a spinal adjustment. Those forces produce a neuromuscular response in the paraspinal muscles. This study dug deep into how do those things play together and it causes or it brings about more questions maybe than it answers, as many studies do. But it also provides some really great clinical information.
