Does Your Brain Need A Tune-Up?

Did you know that your brain is malleable? Which is to ask, did you know that your brain structure constantly changes?

You change your mind all the time, but the stuff your mind is made of, your brain cells, change too. Your life experiences, thoughts and sensations literally can cause parts of your brain to grow or atrophy. Some of the changes can be for the better, others can be for the worse. For example, patients with speech disorders go to a speech therapist to improve the neural structure and activity in the speaking centers of the brain. On the other hand, many fibromyalgia patients have experienced terrible stress over long periods of time and their brains have changed accordingly, causing them to feel more pain, and causing their body to be locked into an emergency state.

Chiropractic Neurology is the science that diagnosis abnormal brain function and provides treatment to re-shape the brain. Brain cells can grow to function more normally when we provide the proper exercise stimulus to the the appropriate region of the brain.

Neuroplasticity is the term used to describe the phenomena of the changeable brain. Neuro means brain and plastic means “exhibiting an adaptability to change.”

For the patient who wants it all, we offer both the Body Lite Treatment using the Zerona laser to re-shape the body and chiropractic neurology to re-shape the brain.

A great book on the subject of neuroplasticity is "The Brain That Changes Itself."
