SPINAL MANIPULATION BENEFITS BRAIN FUNCTION
The brain is a magnificent organ. It is
like the computer for the body processing input and sending output every second of life
for each of us humans in Buffalo, NY. Pain changes
its function to safeguard the body. In chronic low back pain, pain
the The Novelli Wellness Center 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 restore normal brain function.

with their anticipation of pain and fear of movement. Using
MRI to look at the brain function in such patients, researchers documented
that spinal manipulation affects pain, expected
pain, fear of exercise and movement in additional to other

found to possibly alter central
processing of pain and unpleasantness. (3) Certainly, research
in this area of spinal manipulation effects on the brain and its function is advancing.

changes. (4) The potential for spinal manipulation to affect
