experience I had for myself.
Dr. Smith:
We all have these experience for sure whether it's a medical doctor or other practitioner or even patient in the community. We need to get the information out. I started this actually because one of my own papers that was published in 2006 had talked about how chiropractic, it was a small study, could affect movement time. I had read on other chiropractors' websites a year or two years after it was published about how chiropractic affects reaction time. It's two different concepts, they're similar related, but they're not the same. Then it just opened my eyes to if people are misinterpreting or misquoting what I've done, I'm sure they're misinterpreting or misquoting what other people have done. Then I thought, "Why don't I just get it from the horse’s mouth, so to speak, and we'll actually talk to the actual researchers that are doing this?" On chiropracticscience.com, you can find research summaries. We'll talk an article and we'll basically dissect it into its various parts, and then we'll come up with some key points. You're welcome to look at Chiropractic Science as well. I publish Facebook posts as well so you can go onto our Facebook site and check out all those posts. Please share those. I'm not making any money from doing this. I'm doing it out of passion, so please share. If you type in chiropractic science in Facebook, you'll find it. I'm not sure what the exact link is, but they'll find it for sure. What I'd like to do now is take you through a tour of just some of the podcasts that I've done so far. Most of the chiropractors are chiropractors plus PhDs and a couple are pursuing the PhD at the moment. Every single one of them actually is higher graduate education in addition to the chiropractic degree. I just wanted to point that out. The very first interview that I did was on Z Joint gapping. This was with Dr. Kramer, who is at National College. What he's done is a series of MRI studies looking at how, when we put people in a side posture position or we adjust them, that there's a actual gapping of the zygapophysial joint That gapping has been related to a reduction in pain and better mechanics of the lumbar spine. That's even improved from just putting people in the side posture position. There's something important about the adjustment, and it seems to be baring out in MRI studies. A practice point that I thought of when I considered that was the adjustment works well in terms of gapping a joint, it may help to break up adhesions, which is one of the hypothesis that can negatively impact the spine. In addition to adjusting the [inaudible 00:14:42] posture position, perhaps what I took away from this was we could hold the adjustment for five or 10 seconds after and also get the benefit of just that side posture positioning gapping the joint a little bit more. How do they find it on Facebook?
