Understanding Chronic Pain

Chronic pain can be mild or excruciating, it can be episodic or continuous, it can be merely inconvenient or totally incapacitating. The pain can be from headaches, or joint pain, it can be neck pain, back pain or pain from an injury.

The common thing with all these types of pain is that the actual feeling of pain is always, 100% of the time, created in your brain.

Neuroscience Research

Did you know that imagining a movement influences the brain in a very similar way to actually doing the movement? This can help to retrain your brain to understand that the movement is not dangerous – because imagining doing the movement will not hurt. You can basically trick your brain into giving you back pain-free movement.

Movement and Function

The movement of your spine is also very important. Yoga or simple spinal exercises can be great for this and chiropractic care may be really important to help you move too. The main focus of chiropractic care is to improve the movement and function of your spine.
