Pain is an area of the body scientists have explored for many years. It is largely in the exploration of pain where discoveries of the power of the brain have been made. The body is a dense and complicated machine, and pain is how the body works with the brain to “figure it all out.” Could emotional engagement be the key to unlocking this tricky puzzle
Brain Signals and Comfort
Interestingly enough, pain is not just a literal assessment of nerve damage, rather, the brain signals that pain is particularly valuable and can help alleviate the pain. Consider it as a natural Aleve. The pain is only a signal from the body to the brain. Perhaps the problem isn’t entirely on the body. Perhaps it is something in the brain.
Take the anxiety revolving around the pain. It may be damaging and overwhelming at an emotional level. Any small amount of pain is felt because the brain is already partly focused there. The pain signals are even exaggerated due to anxiety.
Of course, pain is present. But, the brain could be the one at fault for exasperating the extent of the pain. Chiropractors in Chicago massages serve a practical purpose in relieving tension. Yet, they can also serve an emotional purpose. They can help alleviate how the brain responds to pain signals. Are they exaggerated and strong, resulting in severe pain throughout the day? Or is there something emotional relief and comfort- relief that could result in more subdued pain?
Happiness Relieves Tension
Even Chiropractors in Chicago may hesitate to say that happiness relieves tension in the lower back, neck, shoulders, wherever! Happiness could fill in the gap that chiropractic care cannot do on its own. The literal relieving of muscle tension is complemented by a better attitude and a more positive life atmosphere. People do influence the pain that they feel. they decide how they want to react to it. If the pain is felt, they can react calmly. overtime, that calm response could be the arbiter for less pain.
