I want this to be a healthier corner of the internet.
So today we’re talking about the healing process in chronic pain—why it takes time, why it can feel up-and-down, and how chiropractic can support that process.
Research shows chronic pain and the healing process can varies day to day, and chiropractic research suggests adjustments can influence nervous system processing and motor control.
Drop topic requests in the comments (general only—no personal health info) and I’ll keep building videos that make this make sense. 💛
