Pain and the Brain

Pain is good according to the Brain

As a chiropractor going on over two decades, I have seen many people in pain. They come to me for pain, they take a pill for pain, they have body parts rearranged because of pain. I have always told my patients that your brain sends the pain signals as a warning. I learned first hand (or head) yesterday about how the brain works.

I WENT TO THE DENTIST!  Although she is excellent, it was painful. She gave me the shots to numb my mouth painlessly — the drilling and filling was painless. So what’s my complaint. My brain did not warn me that I was chewing on my tongue and cheek. When the numbness was gone, my cheek and tongue were raw and swollen from ME :( .

When you take drugs to mask pain – you are just fooling the brain. You can continue to injure the painful area of the body.

Getting to the source of the pain is crucial. In many cases it is the brain and nervous system. Crainal work is about getting to the cause. However, if you are going to kick the dog or punch the door because of the pain — you still might want to take the pill first.

Then come in and get to the cause.

Chiropractors seek the cause and restore function so the body can repair itself.
