How important is brain
function to you and your life? I’d say it’s pretty important if you do anything
more than sit on a couch all day. From the everyday entrepreneur, the high
level administrator, CEO of a large corporation, the athlete, the college
student and mother of 2 alike, without a fully functioning brain, well, you
just wouldn’t be you.
September 18, 1895 D.D.
Palmer did a crude adjustment of a “stone deaf” Harvey Lillard and Lillard’s
hearing was restored.
It’s an old story
that “we” chiropractors pass on from one generation of chiropractors to the
next. There have even been cases of
blindness being “cured” by chiropractic 1. Personally, I have experienced relief from migraine
headaches as well as episodes of brain fog after receiving a chiropractic
adjustment.

How is it that a chiropractic
adjustment can affect the brain? Isn’t chiropractic treatment only for back and
neck pain? Apparently some new research makes the connection between spinal
segmental dysfunction (subluxation) and the frontal cortex of the brain.
This new research study2 shows
adjusting dysfunctional spinal segments effects the pre-frontal cortex of your
brain AND the results of which last up to at least 30 minutes (the max tested
in this study).
Some of the functions of the pre-frontal cortex
of your brain are responsible for:
- Planning complex cognitive behavior
- Personality expression
- Decision making
- Moderating social behavior
Seeing how this research shows that a chiropractic
adjustment of a segmental spinal dysfunction can affect the brain, who knows
how a chiropractic adjustment can help you.
I mean, if your brain is important to you.
So much for all those that say chiropractic is
just about neck pain, back pain and headaches!!!
