SPINAL MANIPULATION BENEFITS BRAIN FUNCTION
The brain is a marvelous organ. It is
like the computer for the body processing input and sending output every second of life
for each of Fernandina Beach human. Pain changes
its function to safeguard the body. In chronic low back pain, pain
the Amelia Chiropractic Clinic treats daily, the brain’s dorsolateral prefrontal cortex shrinks
in addition to brain gray matter reduction and cognitive
ability impairment. Treating chronic pain is found to help the dorsolateral
prefrontal cortex thicken after treatment. Research like this proposes
that treating chronic pain can reestablish normal brain function.
(1) Spinal manipulation helps chronic low back pain sufferers
with their expectation of pain and fear of movement. Using
MRI to study the brain function in such patients, researchers verified
that spinal manipulation alters pain, expected
pain, fear of exercise and movement in additional to other
related brain responses. (2) Further, chiropractic spinal adjustments were
found to potentially alter central
processing of pain and unpleasantness. (3) Naturally, research
in this area of spinal manipulation effects on the brain and its function is advancing.
It proposes that the changes happen in brain function
with a call for more analysis of said
changes. (4) The potential for spinal manipulation to affect
such issues is quite exciting to your Fernandina Beach chiropractor
at Amelia Chiropractic Clinic and our Fernandina Beach chiropractic patients like you!
