Evidence-Based Chiropractic

Modern healthcare should be based on a combination of relevant current research, the clinical experience of your healthcare provider, and your wishes and values. This is called “evidence-based practice”.

You deserve to know the scientific facts about your healthcare. So, your healthcare provider should know what the best available evidence is that’s relevant to you, and they should share it with you when you see them.

It may seem strange, but it’s totally up to your brain to decide whether you should feel pain or not. Your brain may decide you should experience pain even if you have no actual tissue damage yet,6 or your brain may not create the feeling of pain for you when tissue damage has actually occurred!

This is called the “pain paradox”. It means that the pain you feel does not always reflect the severity or even the location of your problem – if there is a problem at all. Science has shown beyond a doubt that pain is created in your brain!
