Does Chiropractic Care affect Brain Function?
Below is a video including information from a Denmark study on affect of chiropractic on brain function. In short pre-frontal cortex activity noticably increased in those who received the chiropractic, while there was no increase in pre-frontal cortex activity in those (i.e. control group) who received the sham treatment.
If interested please watch the short video below on "Prefrontal Cortex brain activity and Chiropractic" :
In considering whether to seek care from us please take into account the following: In Australia the registration board considers Chiropractic as primarily for the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. Our chiropractors are all registered Chiropractors with AHPRA in Australia.
Whilst our chiropractors had done various post graduate studies and post graduate training and may hold registrations for studies recognised in other countries e.g. USA, they do not have any specialist status for those post grad studies in Australia.
Your decision to seek care should not be based solely on info shared on this website and the info videos. Please do other research and do talk to your medical Dr or medical specialist.
