Dr. Heidi Haavik is a fantastic researcher at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic. When I heard her speak a few years back I was so impressed with the clear understanding she has of how chiropractic works on a physiologic level.
If you want to learn more about this research, I recommend her book, “The Reality Check: A Quest to Understand Chiropractic from the Inside Out”.
In the recent podcast below, she goes over her “Secrets of the Spine”, with a great discussion on chronic back pain, balance in the aging adult, pain control, and seeking non-traditional care for dealing with our problems. She talks about how our choices affect our health and there are steps to take no matter how bad it has gotten.
