Understanding Pain Is Created in Your Brain
Watch our comprehensive guide on how gentle chiropractic care can support your journey and overall wellness.
Pain Is Created in Your Brain
Pain is real, but it is not created only where you feel it.
This video explains how the brain and nervous system process pain signals. It also explains why pain can continue even after the original injury or irritation starts to improve.
At Goldsboro Spine Center, we often see patients who feel frustrated because their pain keeps coming back. Some patients feel stiff, guarded, tense, or afraid to move normally.
That does not mean the pain is “in your head.” It means the brain, nerves, muscles, joints, and spine may all be part of the pain experience.
Chiropractic care may help support better spinal movement, reduce mechanical stress, improve posture awareness, and help the body feel safer with movement.
The goal is not to ignore pain. The goal is to understand what may be contributing to the pain cycle and help your body move with more comfort and confidence.
“This video helped me understand my pain in a completely new way. After starting chiropractic care, I didn’t just feel physical relief — I noticed I was more relaxed and less focused on the pain throughout the day. It’s amazing how improving the spine–nervous system connection can change how your body processes discomfort.”

Frequently Asked Questions
We understand you may have questions. Here are answers to the most common concerns parents have about infant chiropractic care.
Yes. Pain is processed by the brain, but that does not mean the pain is fake. The brain uses information from the body, nerves, joints, muscles, and past experiences to decide when to create a pain response.
Pain may continue when the nervous system stays sensitive or protective. Muscle guarding, restricted movement, stress, poor sleep, and fear of movement may also keep the pain cycle going.
Chiropractic care may help support spinal mobility, reduce joint restriction, ease muscle guarding, and improve comfort with movement. As a result, some patients may feel more confident moving again. Results vary.
