Chronic Pain

---

Chronic pain is a condition that so many people suffer from, but not many people like to talk about it. It’s a silent tormenter that’s difficult to pin down. If you’re suffer from chronic pain, then you know how exhausting it is to constantly be in pain or be uncertain of when the next bouts about pain are going to hit.  

It’s even harder when there’s not much support in the medical field for chronic pain. Medications, especially pain medications, are not a long-term solution. They don’t truly fix the problem. They only prolong it, dulling the symptoms rather than fixing the source of the pain. Physical and Occupational Therapy or braces may help with movement and temporarily ease the pain, but true healing comes only when we fix the source of the pain which is, you guessed it, in the spine. 

No matter what type of chronic pain you have, fibromyalgia or just general whole/specific body aches and tiredness, they all come from the same place. When the 10th thoracic vertebrae subluxates, it often pinches the surrounding nerves that connect to the adrenal glands. This causes the adrenal glands not to function properly. The adrenal glands are in charge of regulating your hormones, so when the nerves connected to these glands get blocked by a subluxated vertebrae, your adrenal glands cannot function properly, producing tiredness and constant aches and pains. This chronic pain will keep existing as long as the 10th thoracic vertebrae remains subluxated. 

There are several things that cause this vertebrae to subluxate. It’s usually from physical activity such as exercise, emotional stress such as family and work problems, or chemical stress such as diet. All of these factors affect the adrenal glands on a normal basis, but when they hit just right, they cause this misalignment in the spine that causes chronic pain.

Whether your chronic pain is recent or you’ve suffered from it for years, quality chiropractic care can help you. Here at Scherping Chiropractic in Maple Grove, I take a wholistic approach to chiropractic which means I treat the body as a whole. By using safe and effective chiropractic adjustments, I gently push the subluxated vertebrae back into alignment with the rest of the spine. This releases the pressure from the adrenal gland nerves and restores your body to its natural functions, functions that don’t include chronic pain.
