Are Your Brain and Body Talking Clearly to Each Other?
Imagine this: You’ve had nagging lower back pain for the past few weeks. At first, you thought you slept awkwardly and that you’d get better with time. But it hasn’t, and on top of that, you keep aggravating it — sometimes while performing easy tasks like bending over or picking something up off the ground. What gives? Well, you clearly injured your lower back. But it could also be that your brain and body aren’t talking clearly to each other like they used to do with ease.
Couple that with the fact that you haven’t been to the chiropractor in a while, and that might be your problem.
“But Dr. David … how can this be? What does my brain have to do with what’s going on in my lower back?”
Chiropractic Care Eliminates Interference Between the Brain and Body
Chiropractic care is excellent for helping you get back to being pain-free. Still, it’s more about addressing the underlying cause of your lower back pain and overall dysfunction rather than focusing on the symptoms.
Plenty of research has been done over the years on the link between gentle and specific neurologically based chiropractic care and the brain's ability to see what’s going on in and around your body and respond to it effectively. When everything works correctly, your brain and body form your nervous system (or, as I call it, your body’s command center). The nervous system seamlessly controls and coordinates your movements, thoughts, and automatic responses to the world around you — things you don’t even think about, like breathing, blinking, coordination, sleep, your heartbeat, etc. This complex system tells every other system in your body what to do, how to do it, and when. The problem is that this brain-body connection is often interrupted by injuries and everyday stressors.
As a result, the brain and body can’t achieve optimal health. There’s too much interference — think of it as a bad telephone connection. So, yes, your lower back pain is likely due to a specific injury, but the fact that there’s also a communication breakdown with how your brain controls the muscles in your back isn’t helping matters.
This can lead to a slew of dysfunction besides your back pain that can linger for quite some time, including but not limited to the following:
Back pain
Neck pain
Shoulder pain
Headaches
Bedwetting
Digestive issues
Asthma
Elevated blood pressure
Anxiety and depression
Seizures
Vertigo
Allergies
