A short YouTube episode by Jeff Langmaid introducing recent research on microglia and their outsized role in spinal cord recovery. The speaker frames microglia as key regulators of inflammation and repair that can also contribute to chronic pain and autonomic dysfunction, and intends to explain why this matters to practicing chiropractors and how to communicate it to patients.
One thing that you may not know. The smallest cells in your spinal cord, those are those microglia might actually be the biggest players when it comes to recovery after an injury. These tiny cells are totally transforming and shaping how we understand inflammation, how we understand repair, and in some cases, they might even be contributing or fueling problems like chronic pain and autonomic dysfunction. So on today's episode, we're going to dive de to this brand new research study. Again, I'll drop a link down below, which is all about microglia and spinal cord injuries, and hopefully we'll uncover why this matters to you as a practicing chiropractor and me and how you can communicate this effectively with and to your patients.
