A recent study explored how chiropractic care affects brain activity and health using EEG, SEPs, Fitbit data, and health assessments.

Seventy-six participants with chronic low back pain were divided into two groups: a control and a group who received routine chiropractic care.

Results showed that routine chiropractic care led to changes in brain waves, particularly in the Default Mode Network, and improved sleep, anxiety, depression, fatigue, and pain after just 4 weeks.

These findings suggest that chiropractic care can positively impact both brain function and your overall health! Ready to take the first step to healthier, pain-free living? Send us a message or visit our website to schedule an appointment today!

Meet Dr. Nick Barnes, head chiropractor and owner of Charleston Chiropractic Associates!

After practicing chiropractic in the snowy Northeast starting in 2011, Dr. Barnes relocated in 2018 to enjoy the Lowcountry lifestyle, where he took over the private practice of Charleston Chiropractic Associates.

He has successfully treated over 2,000 individuals dealing with health issues and the pain associated with injuries, repetitive motions, and the busyness of everyday life. His goal for you? Healthier, pain-free living.

Here’s his story on how Dr. Barnes came to believe in the healing powers of chiropractic treatment:

“In high school, I suffered a neck injury while playing football. It was excruciatingly painful, and I was unable to turn my head to the right. For days, nothing would relieve my pain. Then my dad brought me to a chiropractor.”

“After my first visit, I was able to turn my head. Within a week, I was out of pain and back on the football field. It was the spark that ignited my passion and my career as a chiropractor. I am passionate about helping my patients get out of pain and live healthier lives!”
