How can a dysfunctional spinal segment affect the brain, and by extension, the heath of the whole body? Dr Damian Kristoff is joined by chiropractor, neurophysiologist, and researcher Dr Heidi Haavik for an in-depth episode discussing the impact of movement in the spine on the brain and the nervous system. Heidi talks about her extensive research into the science of Chiropractic, getting deep into the mechanics of the movement of the spine and how it affects different areas of the brain, particularly the cerebellum and pre-frontal cortex. She also discusses how spinal health influences how the brain interprets input from our external senses, the connection between the brain and the nervous system, and her dream outcomes for the future of the Chiropractic profession and how it is viewed by other modalities.
