About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of the 2026 Bronfort PACBACK Study for chiropractic practice with Dr. Matt Doyle.
In this special episode of the ASRF Research for Practice Podcast, we talk with Dr Matt Doyle - board member and the guy at the head of the research portfolio - about a study that recently landed in a reputable journal. This study seemed to have some big, detrimental claims to make and a solid study design. But did the conclusion it reached really hold up in a chiropractic context? Dr Matt took on this topic, and we got to talk about a vitally important topic for chiropractors and the people they care for: care frequency and the difference between specific adjustments and broader spinal manipulation.
