We’re not ‘just treating’ back and neck pain

We’re not ‘just treating’ back and neck pain! We are reducing the leading global burden of disease! Low back pain causes more global disability than any other condition. Neck pain is the 4th leading cause of global disability.

Chiropractic Science Reviews

A must for all practitioners!!

I’ve been in practice over a decade and I wish I would have discovered this podcast and website earlier. As an evidence based practitioner this is an amazing resource. One major point of why I enjoy the presenter and guests so much is they talk about chiropractic research from a non biased perspective.

Podcast and science slides- Great Value!

Dr. Dean your educational service for a clinical chiropractor is enlightening and inspiring! I had no idea how much research has been done and the passion and dedication our chiropractic researchers have to help our profession deliver best care and improve public health. I love playing the chiropractic science slides in our pre-adjustment warm up area. So many people have commented on the science and it has stimulated many referrals…Great value!

Feeling excited again

After almost 40 years of practice, and now experiencing a bit of more free time with the COVID environment, I am taking the time to listen to your podcasts every day and am loving them. The data adds to the passion I have with my patients, and I feel a greater sense of certainty about the value of the care I can provide. I have decided to write my first case study and only wish I had started decades ago. I am a listener for life. Thanks, Dr. Dean.

Energizing, informative and accessible!

Energizing, informative and accessible! I think that it’s extremely important to stay current and to continue to learn, but with work and a young family I find it challenging to carve out time to do this as often as I would like. I’ve just recently started listening to Chiropractic Science podcasts in the car and it’s a game changer! The topics are current and timely, the guests are leaders in the profession and there is tremendous value in hearing about the research from the researchers themselves. When I arrive at work I always have a new tidbit to share with colleagues or an idea about how to apply/integrate the new knowledge/perspectives into what I do. I also appreciate how the guests weave threads that remind us to think critically about what we do and the quality of research that we are doing and using. I just finished the podcast with Ian Coulter; it left me re-energized, with new questions, an interest in looking more closely at the original papers he discussed and also at research on the context of the clinical encounter across different professions. I’m excited about the research that is happening and how it will support the role of chiropractors in the broader health system context. Thank you to Dean and the guests for making the information accessible and easy to digest!

Keep up the great work!

Keep up the great work! Thank you Dean for shining a spotlight on these prominent researchers and their important work. It is interesting to hear their discussions on research beyond what is written and published. I particularly like the way that you discuss making rigorous, peer-reviewed research clinically meaningful for those of us on the front line delivering evidence-based healthcare to patients.

Love this podcast

Love this podcast. I have started listening to Dr. Deans podcast on my way to work every morning. I find myself listening sometimes to the same podcast a few times since there is so much great information. It truly inspires me to learn more about my profession even after 27 years in practice. Thanks Doc for sharing your knowledge. I love what you do.

Best Resource for Evidenced Based Chiropractic. It is truly amazing to hear so many astounding researchers in the Chiropractic field. The researchers diverse backgrounds and expertise allow students such as myself to be engaged in the pursuit of further knowledge.

Chiropractic Works

So many Chiropractors see “miracles” happen in their offices but have no clue of the physiology of why they happen. This is a great podcast that can help docs confidence in what they do grow and then be able to ethically help more people.

What an outstanding resource! By far one of the most valuable content sources for new and old chiropractors alike. Reliably poignant content presented in an easy to digest manor.

Fresh ideas

Fresh Ideas from Contemporary Scientific Thought Leaders in the Chiropractic Profession. Dr. Smith brings you insights from contemporary researchers from around the world. Being active in the technique development, research and practice, I am reinspired by learning of developments from the motor control and neurophysiological disciplines. I am reminded of the references and research personalities my mentor, the late Dr. Joe Keating would report and these podcasts continue in that same spirit. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic Resource

Fantastic Resource. I stumbled across this podcast as a trimester 2 chiropractic student. The first segment I listened to was with Dr. Bernadette Murphy and I was hooked. Dr. Dean Smith does an incredible job of guiding the interview fluidly and asking the very questions that come to my mind while listening. As someone who wants to be involved in research Dr. Smith ends his interviews with “what advice would you have for someone interested in pursuing research?” The responses from those interviewed have been nothing short of inspiring. I’d recommend this podcast to anyone interested in neuromusculoskeletal medicine ESPECIALLY manual therapists.

His podcasts are engaging and informative, and I always end them being more knowledgeable than when I started. Great leader for the profession.

This is for every chiropractor!

This is for every chiropractor! This is for chiropractors who want to help their patients by advancing chiropractic among other health professionals. It’s time we stop seeing other health care providers as those who resist the chiropractor. If we were better at communicating, educating, and explaining chiropractic more providers would collaborate with us and more people would be healed. This podcast provides the resources to do just that.

Highly recommended!

Chiropractic Science podcasts. An excellent way to catch up on the latest research from some of the world’s best chiropractic researchers in a friendly, informative, memorable way. I listen in the car, in the gym, whilst out running and when travelling, it’s the best way to make the most of some spare time. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended!
