Chronic Pain is a Symptom of Inflammation in the Central Nervous System

What is inflammation?

Did you know that inflammation is a complex biological response fundamental to how the body deals with injury and infection? Inflammation is your body’s first response when needing to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury and to effect repair.

Unlike a normally beneficial acute inflammatory response, chronic inflammation can lead to tissue damage and ultimately its destruction, and often results from an inappropriate immune response. Inflammation in the nervous system (“neuroinflammation”), especially when prolonged, can be particularly injurious.

What is the Central Nervous System?

The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. It is responsible for sending, receiving, and interpreting information from all over the body.

What are the symptoms of inflammation in the central nervous system?

The symptoms of inflammation in the Central Nervous System can vary depending on the individual. However, some common symptoms include:

  • Chronic Pain
  • Fatigue
  • Brain fog
  • Irritability
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Numbness and tingling sensations

What is chronic pain?

Chronic pain is defined as pain lasting more than 12 weeks. It can be caused by many different conditions, including inflammation in the central nervous system.

What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic Care is a natural, drug-free approach to healthcare that focuses on treating the musculoskeletal and nervous system. Chiropractors use adjustments to restore proper alignment and function to the spine and other joints in the body. This helps reduce inflammation and relieves pain.
