In this episode of Doc’s Thoughts, Dr. Lynn Wagner sits down with her personal chiropractor, Dr. Thomas Matzke, founder of Matzke Chiropractic, to demystify the world of chiropractic care. They explore what chiropractic really is (spoiler: it's not just about back pain), how it optimizes nerve flow, and its surprising impact on the autonomic nervous system—influencing everything from digestion to mood to hormone regulation.

Dr. Matzke shares his journey from biomedical science to chiropractic medicine, explains what subluxation really means, and breaks down why the gentle, functional approach he practices is effective—even without the dramatic “cracks.” The two also dive into misconceptions around chiropractic care, the historical divide between conventional and chiropractic medicine, and why that gap is finally starting to close.

Whether you're new to chiropractic care, skeptical of it, or already a believer, this episode will change the way you view the spine-body connection. It’s a must-listen for anyone interested in pain prevention, stress regulation, and living a balanced, high-performing life.
