Pain is our Alarm System

When some of the parts of your brain get particular messages in a specific pattern, the brain decides for you to make you feel pain to warn you that something might not be right, that you may be in danger.

Chiropractic helps your brain know what is going on in the spine and body

Sympathetic and parasympathetic system

When your alert and danger (sympathetic) system is really active your heart beats faster, your brain mobilizes your bodies energy stores and you become more alert and vigilant and you even sweat more. When the alert and danger (sympathetic) system is more settled your calm & healing (parasympathetic) system takes over. This allows your brain and body to calm down, to heal tissue cells and to digest your food properly.

Prefrontal Cortex

Scientists have shown that chiropractic care changes the function in your prefrontal cortex – one of the brains orchestra conductors. This is also probably why chiropractic care helps people who are suffering with pain – by changing the pain music in the brain itself.
