November 2019 Healthy News: Brain Care Tips from Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre
The brain is a amazing organ. It is like the computer for the body taking information in and sending information out every second of life for each of Toronto human. Pain affects its function to protect the body. In chronic low back pain, pain the Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre sees daily, the brain’s dorsolateral prefrontal cortex shrinks along with 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 suggests that treating chronic pain can reestablish normal brain function. (1) Spinal manipulation helps chronic low back pain sufferers with their anticipation of pain and fear of movement. Using MRI to study the brain function in such patients, researchers documented 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) Certainly, research in this area of spinal manipulation effects on the brain and its function is evolving. It proposes that the changes occur in brain function with a call for more examination of these changes. (4) The potential for spinal manipulation to influence such issues is very exciting to your Toronto chiropractor at Yorkville Chiropractic and Wellness Centre and our Toronto chiropractic patients like you!
