Thave something super cool to share with you that will blow you away! I couldn’t believe it when I read it! I was reading a book called THE BRAIN’S WAY OF HEALING by Norman Doidge, M.D. last week where he was talking about a study done by a neuroplastician named Dr. Michael Merzinietch.

They discovered that when the body is dealing with acute pain that the brain basically uses up to 5% of it’s space and efforts to process that. So when you are in acute pain the best you could have is 95% brain function. Not good!

This is where it get crazy!

When you are in CHRONIC PAIN your brain uses up to 25% of it’s space and efforts dealing with that pain! 25%!!! That means that ¼th of your brain is WAISTED!

Imagine buying a new home that was 3000 sqft. where 750 square feet were taken up by large empty cardboard boxes! Everywhere you went in the house 25% of the real estate you had purchased was wasted by the empty cardboard boxes that occupied them. That would be terrible!

That is what chronic pain does to your brain. The neurons that could be helping you remember what was on the grocery list, or learn a new language, or focus at work are busy dealing with chronic pain.

Dealing with chronic pain is like sitting down to take a math test knowing even if you get every single problem correct the BEST you could make is still just a 75!

Our go al with each adjustment is to help increase the capacity of your nervous system and get to the CAUSE of your pain so you body has it’s best chance to resolve it and start using your brain for more important things!

Imagine how much of our population is dealing with chronic pain that they discount as “NORMAL” and are suffering the consequences of a “brain on pain”.

Tell someone you know about chiropractic!
