In today’s episode, we discuss a brand new, multicenter randomized controlled trial that addresses a big question: When it comes to non-acute lumbar disc herniations, what’s more effective—nonpharmacological care, like spinal adjustments and acupuncture, or conventional medications and injections?

We’ll highlight what the study found, why it matters for your clinical practice, and how you can effectively communicate these findings to your patients. He’ll also discuss the ongoing challenges patients face when navigating guideline confusion, real-world overreliance on medications, and missed opportunities for chiropractic care in many communities.
