Hi, I am Dr. Mark Studin, and today with ChiroSecure, we’re going to bring you bone on nerve. Is there bone on nerve in the chiropractic lesion, whether we call it a biomechanical lesion or subluxation, and it’s been bantered around and misused for decades, but the reality is that DD and BJ Palmer almost got it right.

With the technology they had back in 1895 and 1902 and 1903, when they wrote their books, the Science of Chiropractic, they were so awfully close and brilliant to even come up with those conclusions. But we’re gonna give you what the evidence shows, and everything I’m sharing with you is evidence-based.

It’s all on the scientific literature. I’m not making any of this stuff up. I’m just a storyteller. So let’s go to the slides. So we’re gonna talk about bone on nerve. Now the question is, where is bone on nerve? Where is it? And what nerves are involved? How does it work? And why regional adjusting often fails.

Now we’re gonna unpack a lot and I’m only gonna, unfortunately be able to do that today in sound bites. I can’t really dig in. So we have primary spine care symposiums where we spend hours on these subjects and explain everything. You’re more than welcome to gimme a jingle. I have my phone number at the back end, and we’ll be, I’ll be able to share it with you.

I’d love to talk to you about it. Have a conversation. And it’s not about philosophy, it’s about the science. And if you follow the science, you will understand why people get well with chiropractic care. Actually get, will dig it well too quick. That’s a, that’s an issue, but we’ll talk about that again at a different time.

So the question is, where is it? Here’s your answer, folks. It’s not on the nerve root tell you that right now it is physiologically impossible for a bone to be on a nerve root. Your answer was given to us in 2017 in the European Spine Journal when we looked at feral in their work, and it says you’ve got two bones.

These are called facets, and in the facet there is a normal menis. That sits, or seeds, I’m sorry, choking here that sits or seeds between the facets and keeps them from approximating. But when you have repetitive microtraumas are gonna grab a sip. When you have repetitive microtraumas or a microtrauma, that menis dislodges, and that on MRI, clearly the menis dislodges, and that’s what happens, like symbols when the bone is on, goes up against the other bone, the nerve, the nerves in, r, the nociceptors that are on the face of the facets, and those feed in.

The MEChA to the, those are your mechanoreceptors, and those feed into the lateral horn along with other things. Now, the cervical spine, menis gooids in there in lumbar as well refer to as synovial folds or interarticular inclusions, and they actually are the spacers. Here is your bone on nerve.

Now let’s take it to the next step. Here are your facets, and this is the joint capsule, which is all ligaments, and it holds synovium in there, which has positive and negative ions, which I’m not gonna get into today. But when the menis goes out of place, it’s gonna, these your me receptors, you have your pacinian puls, and your crimp receptors.

You have your affinity core puzzles. Those are your stretch receptors. Then you have other nociceptors around here, and you all also have. GOGI tendon organs and GOGI ligament organs, which all feed into the lateral horn apparently. Now, when it goes into the lateral horn, it doesn’t go up right away. What it does is it feeds into the deep paraspinal muscles through the pizo ion channels.

The deep paraspinal muscles are your propriocept, your mechano receptors. Tell you what’s going on around you in the world. Crim, stretch, hot, cold thermal. Okay. Muscle pulling, arid positioning. That’s mechanically what’s going on in the outside now? What’s going on in your internal schema? Where is my hips with relationship to my head?

Is it, where are my shoulders in relationship to the outside world? I have a writing mechanism, which is my eyes, visually. Then I have the the deep paraspinal muscles. I have the ears, semi-circular canal which is your entire with the little fibrils in there. Which tells you it’s like a whiskey comp is where you are.

There’s a lot of things for proprio reception, but your deep paraspinal muscles are that as well. So now what occurs is it goes through the pizo ion channels, deep paraspinal muscles. Then it goes back to the pizo ion channels into the lateral horn. It then goes up this spiral thalamic tract through the periaqueductal gray area, and it hits the brain’s clearinghouse, the thalamus, and then from the thalamus it goes to the anterior C cortex, the orbital cortex, the prefrontal cortex, the mortal cortex, the sensory cortex, the hypothalamus, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

And then it goes efer. But does it go back to that same level? We treat patients as a whole. And we have to look at spinal biomechanics and spinal biomechanical engineering. Actually, DD and BJ were incredible at studying that, but really in science, the grandfathers were Punjabi and white orthopedic surgeons from the university medical school who came up with the whole Cartesian system of the x, y, and Z axis of positioning where a spine should be and how that breaks down.

But when we look at it chiropractically, or even in the world of spine, we know that a spine has to be plump. Your glabella, epi, sternal notch, and pubic synthesis have to be in a line. Top has to be over the bottom. Your ear, your shoulder, your hip from a lateral or side view have to be plump. But what occurs is what occurs if this menis goes out of place.

The facets don’t line up and say you’re three degrees off only three or even two or even one degree off. What occurs is if that’s off, your body’s gonna start to tilt. If you have two times PIEX, two times A-S-I-E-N-A-S-I-N. PIX left a SI and Right. You all been through that in chiropractic school.

We all, we train in that and I taught that yesterday when I taught in the classroom in chiropractic colleges. So the point is we all know that, but we don’t look crooked because the body has to write itself. So the body puts curves in there. How does it do that? The body has deep paraspinal muscles as proprioceptors.

So what it’s going to do, it’s gonna fire and it’s gonna say, I’m off. The internal schema is gonna tell the brain I’m off. Now the brain is going to tell if you have the menis out in the lower spine, say to the left three degrees, it’s gonna tell the cervical thoracic area to spasm on the right.

Then it’ll tell the thoraco lumbar area to spasm on the left. Then it’ll tell the lower lumbar area to spasm on the right. And now you’ve got your nice S-curve. Look, C one is over S one. This is homeostasis. This is the lowest energy state that the body wants to bring you in. But because it’s spasming here and here, your primary lesion could be here, but.

There could be more muscles that have to spasm up here, and there’s a lot of pain, and through the gating, G-A-T-I-N-G, the gating mechanism, you’re not gonna feel this or this, but this. Now you have to determine, and there are pieces of technology, subverted technology is one of them in x-ray, digitizing that will give you biomechanical markers and tell you where the primary lesions are versus where compensation is.

That’s how all of this works. So if you’re only adjusting regionally based upon where the pain is, you often miss the primary lesion. And even if you only adjust the primary lesion and ignore the pain areas, almost always those pain areas will go away because when you correct the, whether the primary lesion is cervical, thoracic, lumbar, when you correct it, everything unwinds balances comes biomechanically stable and you don’t have an issue.

That is a lot to unpack. I’ve given you about 30 or 40 research papers of which took to accomplish all of this. I’ve given you a three hour presentation in about 11, 12 minutes, which was my goal. So if you wanna learn more about this stuff, give me a Jing. Go to take your cell phone out. You can take a picture of this QR code.

These are academics. This is EMR Chiro, our software. This is inverted, the digitizing and our consulting platform. But take my phone number down, gimme a call anytime you want. It’ll be my pleasure. So listen. Thank you so much for spending a few minutes. It was fast and furious. This is my passion. I love chiropractic.

There’s never been a better time ever in the history of our profession to be a chiropractor. It’s just so much fun. Thank you so much, ChiroSecure. Thank you so much and I look forward to seeing you next time.
