"A 2024 study in Brain Sciences found that chiropractic care induces neuroplastic responses by altering brain activity, leading to improvements in pain, mood, sleep, and quality of life. These changes are linked to improved function in key brain structures like the primary somatosensory cortex, prefrontal cortex (PFC), and cerebellum. Specifically, chiropractic adjustments can decrease sensory input processing effort, improve the default mode network's connectivity, and positively affect mental health by reducing anxiety and depression. "

HOW CHIROPRACTIC AFFECTS THE BRAIN
Alters brain activity: chiropractic adjustments, particularly spinal adjustments, stimulate mechanoreceptors and create an input to the central nervous system that alters brain activity.
Impacts brain structure and function: The adjustments affect neuroplasticity in brain regions like the primary somatosensory cortex, primary motor cortex, prefrontal cortex (PFC), and cerebellum.
Improves sensory processing: Studies show that the brain's electrical response to sensory information from joints and muscles decreases after adjustments, indicating the brain is processing the information more efficiently.
Benefits of neuroplastic changes from chiropractic care
Pain relief: Adjustments can reduce pain unpleasantness and catastrophizing, which are linked to the prefrontal cortex.
Improved mental health: Participants in a 2024 study reported significant reductions in anxiety and depression.
Better sleep: Studies observed improvements in sleep, specifically in light sleep stages, among those receiving chiropractic care.
Enhanced quality of life: Overall quality of life improved significantly for participants receiving care.
Improved cognition and motor control: Some research suggests improvements in reaction time, cortical sensorimotor integration, and motor control.

These findings indicate that many health benefits of chiropractic care are due to altered brain activity.

Did you know the #1 cause of accidental death under age 50 isn’t car accidents… it’s prescription drugs? Painkillers, muscle relaxers, even common medications can carry major risks. They don’t even fix the root cause. They just mask symptoms, come with side effects, and often leave you needing stronger doses.
That’s where Tucker Chiropractic is different. We work with your body-correcting alignment, improving nerve function, and reducing pain naturally; without relying on risky chemicals. If you’re tired of chasing pills and want a safer, long-term solution, chiropractic may be the better way. Your body doesn’t have a drug deficiency—it needs balance, not bandaids. Conservative first, drugs 2nd!

Part of the purpose that drives us to help people treat the root cause of their health problem naturally, is to avoid the risk of drugs and surgery.

According to The Chiropractic foundation for progress, The leading cause of injury death in the United States is drug overdose, and a majority of the deaths from drug overdose deaths involved an opioid;

Whereas approximately 125 million opioid prescriptions were dispensed to American patients in 2024, which translates to 1/3 of the U.S. population receiving a prescription opioid;

Whereas nearly 8.6 million Americans 12 years and older reported misusing prescription opioids in the past year;

Whereas more than two-thirds of those who reported misusing prescription opioids reported misusing to relieve physical pain;

Whereas from 1999 to 2022, nearly 310,000 Americans have lost their lives to overdoses involving prescription opioids;

Whereas the costs for opioid use disorder and fatal opioid overdose are estimated to be over $1 trillion, including the costs of healthcare, lost productivity, addiction treatment, and criminal justice involvement;

Whereas prescription opioids are often recommended for low back, neck and musculoskeletal pain management;

Whereas over 50 million suffer with chronic pain and an estimated 80 percent of all Americans will experience some form of back pain during their lifetime

Whereas doctors of chiropractic (DCs) are educated and trained to effectively address spinal and neuromusculoskeletal pain with non-surgical, non-drug management;

Whereas numerous published studies, including The Lancet (June 2023), document opioids should not be recommended for acute low back or neck pain;

Whereas the Bulletin of the World Health Organization (WHO) published recommendations to manage low back pain initially with non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as spinal manipulation (chiropractic adjustments), while avoiding opioids, spinal injections and surgery;

Whereas a recent study in SPINE (orthopedic journal) concludes spinal manipulation, otherwise known as a chiropractic adjustment, to provide safer benefits than pharmacological or invasive interventions.
