EFFECT OF LOW BACK PAIN ON CEREBRAL NEUROPLASTICITY
Abstract
It is shown that development of subacute, recurrent and chronic low back pain is the result of maladaptive neuroplasticity condition of the central nervous system due to abnormal functional, neurochemical and anatomical modification of the brain neural networks. In this connection, a diagnostic study of patients with recurrent and chronic low back pain should be directed not only to the identification of musculoskeletal abnormalities, but also changes in cerebral neuroplasticity. Treatment and rehabilitation measures should be also aimed improving cerebral neuroplasticity. One of the promising methods for improving neuroplasticity are a manual therapy and targeted training therapy.
