In this bumper episode, Dr. Brad Glowaki (@Drglodc on Instagram), tells us all about his learnings while working with elite athletes. His wisdom shows us how research pairs with chiropractic in action, and why we are far more than a pain modality. After talking about pain, prevention and performance, we then move on to Dr. Don MacDonald, author and chiropractor who talks us through the vagus nerve and why it matters.

Dr Michael Hall joins us in this bumper episode to talk about the vital importance of the cervical curve.

Its one you'll need to listen to over and over, we are sure, but if you've ever been in doubt about the potential of chiropractic, this episode will blow your mind.

In an episode that is loaded with both philosophy and research, join us as we talk subluxation with Professor Phillip Ebrall and Dr. Tanja Glucina.

Its arguably the most important topic of our profession, and its one that ASRF is particularly focused on as we continue to research the definition, parameters, methods of assessment and philosophy behind subluxation-based care.
