Let's talk about pain and the brain! 🧠
While we usually think of low back pain as only affecting the bones, muscles, and ligaments, chronic pain involves much more.
The brain plays a significant role in chronic pain by altering how we process signals from our muscles and joints. Sometimes, the brain misinterprets muscle contractions as a need for protection, causing pain and muscle spasms.
Chiropractic care, exercise, and good advice can help reduce this pain and improve function. 🙌
