Jeff Langmaid reviews a study on thoracic spinal adjustments and trigger-point therapy in people with relapsing-remitting MS. The research found measurable changes in inflammatory cytokines, not a cure but evidence that manual care affects systemic biology beyond back pain.
So this research looked at people with relapsing and remitting MS and asked whether thoracic, specifically thoracic spinal adjustments combined with trigger point therapy, could influence inflammatory cytokines. So this is not saying that chiropractic cures MS or treats MS. That's not the point. The point is that a chiropractic, you know, style manual care may be able to produce— we're going to dive in measurable changes in inflammatory signaling. It's in a pretty complex neurological population, those struggling with MS. So it's a really big deal because it moves the conversation from, well, chiropractic can help with low back pain. I think that's great and super important, but it, it moves it into, we might be able to influence physiology in ways that we're still working to understand.
