Did you know that if you do something repetitively for for a few months, that your brain literally changes? Research shows that specific brain areas change in volume when learning a task. This change in volume is known a the brain’s plasticity. It is the ability of the brain to develop new and stronger connections between neurons. Plasticity can be used to specifically strengthen and “rewire” weak areas of the brain. Harnessing neural plasticity shows promise in treating many chronic pain conditions.
