In this video blog, Dr. Matthew Davis director of Crossroads Chiropractic shares important information from today’s news showing chiropractic care may just be effective in preventing cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer’ disease, depression, schizophrenia and attention deficit hyperactivity. Recent studies have showed that many of these cognitive disorders can be associated with changes in the brain that are believed to be caused by chronic pain conditions. Chronic pain is defined by that which last for 6 months or longer.
Chronic pain appears to cause significant changes to brain function that could be the precursor for many cognitive diseases. Chronic back pain is at the top of the list of chronic pain conditions, and conventional medicine have little solutions, according to experts.
Chiropractors are the only healthcare providers that have significant training in spinal manipulation. Along with blind studies, it has been proven that spinal manipulation has documented positive outcomes to help resolve chronic pain.
As a result, the negative impact of chronic pain on the brain, including shrinkage of the brain may be reversed through chiropractic care.
Studies show that once the chronic pain has resolved, the brain has the ability to return to its normal size and regain much function. Click the Red More Button in your email or the image below if you are on our website.
