🧠 New research is shedding light on how spinal care affects the brain.
A recent review found that spinal manipulation for people with chronic low back pain and disc herniation may do more than reduce pain. It may also change how the brain processes pain and emotion.
Key highlights from the research:
• Spinal manipulation was linked to changes in brain activity and connectivity.
• These changes were associated with reduced pain and improved function.
• Improvements were also connected to better emotional and mood outcomes.
The takeaway: pain is not just a “back problem.” It also involves the brain and nervous system.
💡 If you are living with chronic back pain, addressing movement and nervous system function may be an important step toward feeling better. Give us a call at 812-936-3000 or book online at www.orangecochiro.com
