Very quick thought on the confirmation of RFK Jr.:
As I enter my 30th year in the chiropractic field, this is the most significant event (influencing chiropractic access) I have ever witnessed. Leaving aside the absurd state of the left-right political situation in this country, HHS secretary is the most influential position in the world with regards to health promotion. This is the first time we have had a person in that position who is enthusiastically pro-chiropractic, and for that reason alone I believe the future health of this country will benefit greatly.

It is fair to disagree on things he has said in the past (or things I have said for that matter) but this confirmation is an unadulterated win for the field of chiropractic and everyone who utilizes it.

Super exciting research showing that to demonstrate benefits in the brain, an adjustment has to be done to a subluxation in the spine. While this sounds pretty basic for anyone remotely familiar with chiropractic care, it is foundational for establishing a scientific record for the actual mechanism of how adjustments work.

Turns out you only get changes in prefrontal cortex sensorimotor integration if you apply your HVLA thrust at a subluxated segment! 🧠

We have had another study published!!! What a great way to start 2024!! 🎊

Our study is called ‘A randomized controlled trial comparing different sites of high-velocity low amplitude thrust on sensorimotor integration parameters’. It’s just been accepted for publication in Scientific Reports.

The study looked at whether it matters where we apply the HVLA thrust when measuring prefrontal cortex processing changes. And it turns out it does! We only got the brain changes when the chiropractors applied the thrust at a subluxated segment. No brain changes occurred when a thrust was applied to a healthy segment. It’s logical of course, but still needs to be investigated.

A big thank you to my co-authors Imran Khan Niazi, Samran Navid, Christopher Merkle, Mian Imran Amjad Nitika Kumari, Robert J. Trager, and Kelly Holt You guys are an AMAZING team. ❤️

And a massive thank you to our funders. This study was funded by Australian Spinal Research Foundation (ASRF) (Grant no.
