Congratulations Ken Weber, DC, PhD
•Neurologic pain signature activation decreased following spinal manipulation.
•Spinal manipulation altered the processing of pain-related brain activity.
•We provide evidence for a centrally mediated therapeutic action of spinal manipulation.
•Brain-based models have potential as objective clinical biomarkers of pain.
"The findings provide preliminary evidence that SM may alter the processing of pain-related brain activity within specific pain-related brain regions and support the use of brain-based models as clinical biomarkers of pain."
