The brain is a magnificent organ. It is like a computer for the body processing input and sending output every second of life for each of us humans in Montreal. Pain alters its function to safeguard the body. In chronic low back pain, pain the Dr. Hoang's Chiropractic Clinic sees every day, the brain’s dorsolateral prefrontal cortex diminishes in addition to brain gray matter reduction and cognitive ability impairment. Treating chronic pain is found to help the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex thicken after treatment. Research like this suggests that treating chronic pain can restore normal brain function.
