The Brain Connection



THE BRAIN CONNECTION:
Research proves chiropractic adjustments affect: How you feel, How You Learn,  Your memory,  Your Consciousness, Your Motivation, Your Motor Control, Your Self-Awareness, How You Think, The Decisions You Make & How You Experience Touch and Pain.

In 2014, Gay and fellow researchers concluded “…pain-free volunteers processed thermal stimuli applied to the hand before and after thoracic (mid-back) spinal manipulation (chiropractic spinal adjustment). What they found was that after thoracic manipulation, serveral brain regions demonstrated a reduction in peak BOLD (blood-oxygen-lebel-dependent) activity. Those regions include the cingulate, insular, motor, amygdala and somatosensory cortices, and the PAG (periaqueductal gray regions)” (p. 615).

In other words, chiropractic adjustments produced direct and measureable effects on the central nervous system across multiple regions.


Brain Region:
Function:
Cingulate Cortex
Emotions, Learning, Motivation & Memory
Insular Cortex
Consciousness, homeostasis, perception, motor control, self-awareness, cognitive, function.
Motor Cortex
Voluntary Movements
Amygdala Cortex
Memory, Decision Making, Emotional Reactions
Somatosensory Cortex
Proprio and mechano-reception, touch, temperature, pain of the skin, epithelial, skeletal muscle, bones, joints, internal organs and cardiovascular systems.
Periaqueductal Cortex
Ascending and descending spinothalametic tracts carrying plain and temperature fibers

We are now starting to get answers for the results that once considered “miracles”. Research has verified that chiropractic adjustments do not deliver, it helps the body work better 
& we now know why.

Freedom is also the capacity to engage in certain actions without interference, The concept and principles of freedom are enormous; countries have been founded on it, societies run by it and wars have been fought over it. Chiropractic care shares many similarities with the definitions that are mentioned above because it offers freedom for people who choose to use it. Most people think of chiropractic care as a natural treatment of an ache or an injury, the freedom from pain. This can be valuable to the person suffering from discomfort. It alows them to resume their normal activities, return to work or sleep through the night. They can do their homework, earn the money they need to support their family or have energy throughout the day when the pain is no longer there, normal routines return. People who chose regular chiropractic care enjoy freedom of  movement. Their spines and nervous systems becom...
