It has been less than 5 weeks since I first came to see Dr. Pierre for treatment to reduce the deep aching pain in my back, across my shoulder blades and the pins and needles and burning pain I had in one or both arms. I hated waking up in the morning with those symptoms!My body felt like a rubber band twisted to its limits and my upper body was leaning forward.Today I am more upright, breathe easier and the aches are becoming a distant memory.

The concept of ABC makes sense to me and the changes I have experienced confirm that. I wish that I had discovered this 25 years ago when my troubles began, but at least now I feel like I am regaining control of my life – pain is no longer in the driver’s seat!

Thanks!

The Journal of Neuroscience brings sobering news to chronic back pain sufferers. Scientists found that even one year of chronic back pain can age the brain 10 to 20 years. 26 people with chronic, continuous pain of more than a year were compared with 26 healthy people. The researchers theorized that the stress of chronic pain causes “burnout shrinkage”. But that may not be a life sentence. Shrinkage does not always equal loss of brain cells and shrinkage may reverse once the chronic pain ends. (5) Can chiropractic reverse the damage? Chiropractors success with chronic conditions is well known. Apparently “learning to live with it” may cause serious long-term problems. If you know anyone with a chronic condition please advise them to explore chiropractic – their pain and their brain will thank them.
