If you’ve ever wanted ironclad evidence that your care doesn’t just relieve pain—but rewires how the brain perceives it—this is it.
A newly published study in the Indian Spine Journal revealed that spinal manipulation restores brain chemistry in chronic low back pain patients. And this isn’t surface-level stuff. We’re talking measurable changes in the thalamus, the brain’s pain-processing center
After just 3 sessions of spinal adjustments, chronic low back pain patients showed:
A 65% drop in pain scores
A 60% reduction in disability
Normalizing of key neurometabolites—NAA, Cho, Glx, and Mio—all of which were previously significantly lower than healthy controls
Five weeks later, their brain chemistry was indistinguishable from people without pain.
That’s not hype. That’s brain-level healing, verified by MRI spectroscopy.
