122. Understanding Relationship Neuroplasticity and Chronic Myofascial Pain the with Dr. Michele Broadhurst DC, CCRP |

Is it possible to alter our response to chronic pain?<br /><br />We dive into this on today's episode with Dr. Michele Broadhurst, DC, ICCSP, IVCA, FIAMA, and CCRP. Dr. Broadhurst, a chiropractor from South Africa, is a myofascial expert and certified in acupuncture for pain relief at PCHC. In addition, she ran a successful family practice in Cape Town with her husband for over ten years. <br /><br />New research suggests that neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to change and adapt, may play a role in the development of neuropathic pain following nerve damage, whether it occurs near or far from the injury site. <br /><br />Additionally, studies have found that microglia, immune cells in the central nervous system, can modulate neuroplasticity related to chronic pain. <br /><br />Understanding the potential impact of neuroplasticity on chronic pain could lead to innovative treatments for this condition.
