Do you fall into this category or could you???I Thought it very telling because I have seen this a thousand times. I work with a lot of patients who have been injured at work. Many of these patients have worked for 5yrs, 10yrs, 15yrs, 20 years or more doing the same thing over and over day in and day out. I have asked them if they ever had any aches or pains prior to the injury that caused them to have to stop working? Eight out of ten will say they had aches and pains but so did everyone on the job you just took some Tylenol and got back to work.
They never thought that those aches and pains indicated that their body was in needed of help form something other than a pill. It never occurred to them that those aches and pains may indicate that their back, neck, wrist or shoulder may be saying I am not functioning properly and may be prone to injury. Now that they can't work because of severe pain and pathology they look back and say, I wish I would have come in and gotten worked on when it was just an ache or a pain.
Now I understand that every accident or injury can not be avoided, but your body will respond better to mishaps when it is functioning properly and pain free. The old adage an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. chiropractic therapy is that ounce of prevention.
Don't be that patient with regrets after they have lost their health or use of a pain free body part.
Come see me or another chiropractor in your area let us help you live life with no regrets!
Dr. Vance DC
