Pain is perhaps the number one reason people go to chiropractors or other health care professionals. After all, pain can make us enjoy activities less or even prevent us from doing certain things.
When the pain comes from a bruise or wound, we know that the pain is likely to subside quickly. This helps us mentally cope better with the pain. After all, it disappeared in no time.
This is very different with chronic pain conditions. It’s not just the pain itself that can disrupt your life. Also, the knowledge/anxiety that the pain will come back or always remain can prevent you from arranging your life the way you would like.
Finally, pain is also a signal from your body, a signal that something is wrong. Pain is your body’s way of signaling that help is needed.
We want to tell you more about how a good chiropractor can give you that help.
There are, especially within mainstream medicine, a variety of definitions for chronic pain. The pain must be present for x weeks in a row or occur at least x days per period. The exact definition varies by health care provider.
We believe that pain that is present for a longer period of time when it can be explained from an acute cause (illness, disease) falls under chronic pain. Even pain that keeps recurring or pain that you feel you have been suffering from for a long time can all be classified as chronic pain.
Therefore, we see many people who have conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or a herniated disc, from which they experience chronic pain. We also see people who don’t know where the pain is coming from, but have been having back or joint pain for weeks or longer.
Our job then is to find the cause and the factors involved in the chronic pain symptoms. To then give the body a chance to repair it.
Chiropractic is pre-eminently the form of medicine where we work based on what we find in you. So your situation guides our approach.
Through years of study and lots of experience, we can do targeted research. Among other things, we want to find out the following:
So we want a complete picture of not only the symptoms, but also your health. Because with a complex problem like chronic pain, there are always multiple factors involved. The moment we know the cause and any factors involved, then we can get to work in a focused way.
Your chiropractor will never claim to cure your symptoms. We try to achieve the right conditions where the body can heal itself. That means we don’t just look at the pain symptoms themselves, but we look more holistically.
As a result, we often see chains of events or systems that affect each other. An example is someone with chronic headaches. It can be maintained by intoxication or by subluxation that causes the brain to become overstimulated.
Complaints of the joints may result from the immune system being too active. Chronic back pain, for example, may have its origin in a leg-length difference caused by weak hip muscles. These are just examples of how we handle complaints
In many cases, the only way to address chronic pain is through whole-body therapy. That’s what chiropractic stands for and that’s exactly what we want to help you with.
We work on the principle that body and mind are connected and that we are one holistic whole. Disrupted functions can cause problems in other places as a result. Therefore, our care always goes back to basics.
This is what we want to give you, the best possible health.
