How Chiropractic Adjustments Impact Brain Physiology with Dr. Heidi Haavik

Dr. Heidi Haavik is a chiropractor, a researcher, and a curious Doctor who seeks to answer the questions about "WHY" chiropractic works. She has a team of researchers at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic and is actively researching and publishing work exploring the physiology behind the successes of chiropractic care. In this episode, we discuss: Dr. Haavik's path to becoming a chiropractic researcher "The contemporary model of vertebral column joint dysfunction and impact of high-velocity, low-amplitude controlled vertebral thrusts on neuromuscular function" - a recent publication reviewing the literature on brain impacts of adjusting vertebral subluxations (full text link below) Commonly understood and scientifically grounded mechanisms between vertebral column dysfunction, and deleterious nervous system function Local and global tissues change associated with vertebral subluxation The future of scientific research and it's clinical implications and more.
