November 2019 Healthy News: Brain Care Tips from Hollstrom & Associates Inc
The brain is a marvelous organ. It is like the computer for the body taking information in and sending information out every second of life for each of Largo human. Pain affects its function to protect the body. In chronic low back pain, pain the Hollstrom & Associates Inc treats every day, the brain’s dorsolateral prefrontal cortex diminishes 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 suggests 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 documented that spinal manipulation has an effect on pain, expected pain, fear of exercise and movement as well as other related brain responses. (2) Further, chiropractic spinal adjustments were found to potentially adjust central processing of pain and unpleasantness. (3) Certainly, research in this area of spinal manipulation effects on the brain and its function is advancing. It proposes that the changes occur in brain function with a call for more analysis of said changes. (4) The potential for spinal manipulation to influence such issues is very exciting to your Largo chiropractor at Hollstrom & Associates Inc and our Largo chiropractic patients like you!
