In this episode, Jared and Laura myth-bust the idea that you can "pull your rib out." They discuss the belief systems around subluxation and what we know through current research. They tackle why cavitations, or "pops," feel good and what mechanisms are at play during those "adjustments." And then they discuss how a more comprehensive approach to managing pain yields better results. They highlight one major red flag to watch out for when working with practitioners. This episode is DENSE, so buckle up!
