Dr. Heidi Haavik says now is the time to push chiropractic research

Research is vital in supporting the development of chiropractic. Dr. Heidi Haavik, one of the most respected authorities on chiropractic research and neuroscience, talks with Dr. Ron Oberstein in this conversation about raising awareness of the mountain of high-quality research around the adjustment and how to connect that research with clinical experiences.

Dr. Haavik is the Director of Research at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic, where she has established the Centre for Chiropractic Research. She is also the founder of Haavik Research, which strives to give chiropractors clarity and confidence about what they do and the value they provide to their patients.
