Chiropractic care has long been associated with spinal adjustments, pain relief, and improved musculoskeletal health. However, a growing body of research and a dynamic neurological-based chiropractic model are shedding light on the critical role chiropractic care plays in optimizing neurological function and overall well-being.
In this blog post, we will explore the dynamic neurological-based chiropractic model and its contribution to improving afferent input to the brain. We will also discuss the pivotal role of Dr. L. John Faye, DC, in advancing this model. Furthermore, we will delve into the concept that muscle coordination and recruitment order are influenced by mechano-receptor afferentation, which can be compromised when joints are restricted, blocked, or fixated. Additionally, we will emphasize the importance of a closed kinematic chain and how it relates to the effectiveness of chiropractic care. Throughout this discussion, we will provide references and evidence to support these concepts. Don't worry we will define all these terms 😀!

“We do know that spinal function does affect brain function. There’s now solid evidence that adjusting the spine changes brain function. This is the fourth time that the effect of adjusting the spine has on the brain has been studied. This last time it was studied and confirmed by an independent medical researcher.” said Heidi Haavik, one of the researchers behind this recent study, published in the Journal of Neural Plasticity [1]. This is the fourth time that the effect of adjusting the spine has on the brain has been studied.
This study indicates that adjustments impact the function of the prefrontal cortex. The significance of this finding is that the prefrontal cortex is the ‘conductor’ in the brain, controlling many functions within the body.
