An accident
or sudden injury occurred. Or maybe you have
no idea what happened but suddenly woke up
or started feeling pain.
Certain
activities like lifting or twisting a certain
way cause low back pain. Maybe your pain
is ongoing or maybe it goes away but keeps
coming back.
So
you try some over-the-counter pain medication.
Maybe apply a heating pad and bed rest. Your
friends and family advise heat and / or cold
packs. Since you’re not sure which
to try, you try either or both.
Days pass.
Maybe weeks. But nothing seems to do the
trick. At least for long.
In
the meantime, people seem to roll their
eyes
if you even mention that you still have pain
in your back. “Aren’t you over
that yet? Go see someone”, they suggest.
So off
you go.
Results?
You get the run-around. Your chiropractor
sends you to your family physician who sends
you to a specialist who sends you to a clinic… blah,
blah, blah. And each visit means more time,
more schedule juggling, more tests, more
insurance paperwork, more medications to
try – - - more headaches, not to mention
more backaches.
Your
healthcare professionals, co-workers and
even your friends,
all seem to be telling you about the same
thing, “It must be all in your head,
because there is nothing wrong with you. ”
But
you know it’s not in your head. It’s
in your BACK!
Yep – your
back pain is STILL hanging around… just
like yesterday’s “To-Do’s” that
keep piling up while you’re wasting
precious time and energy trying to manage
your healthcare, co-workers, friends, family
- - -heck, your own SELF. Stress city!
Wouldn’t
it be great to put an end to all that and
just find relief for nagging back pain problems?
Wouldn’t it be great to end the waiting
in doctors’ offices, in rush hour traffic,
in slow pharmacy lines?
