    Episode 588: The Science of Chiropractic, Volume II: The nerve system is like a tree
    Nov 19 2024
    The nerve system is like a tree; the roots are the brain of the tree, the trunk like the spinal cord, and the branches and leaves like the peripheral nerve system. BJ Palmer was the original brain-based chiropractor, since he was writing this style of thought (or as he would have written, thot), way back in 1910.

    Episode 587: The Science of Chiropractic, Volume I

    Even from 1906, BJ Palmer defined chiropractic as brain and nerve system based, with expectations of working with "all...of the three hundred articulations of the human skeletal frame." Chiropractic and chiropractors are not limited to the spine but use the spine as home base while we 'tune' the nerve system.

    Episode 584: Why so much talk about Polyvagal?
    Oct 22 2024
    The Polyvagal Theory really took the world 'by storm' over the last few years. I first heard it mentioned at an ICPA seminar in 2010 or so, and published the first ever chiropractic and polyvagal paper a few years later (http://bit.ly/2yxfNxN). Now it is everywhere and most parents of kiddos with Autism have heard of it. Originally released in 2023, recorded live at The Wave at Life West.
