People ask me every day why they hurt. And while the answer can never be 100% precise, there are always similarities at play whenever our bodies hurt. In the absence of disease or acute injury, the answer is usually improper function. Whether it’s neck and arm pain or back and leg pain the cause is often improper function. Work, stress, sports, poor posture, lack of sleep and rest, and sometimes bending, lifting and twisting can all lead to stiff / tight muscles, malfunction and pain.
So why do many people hurt…..?
When muscles are tight they pull your bones out of alignment and make your joints lock up and move the wrong way. When that happens there is additional friction and stress and many times this causes a recurring loop of pinched nerves and pain. Your body becomes more used to being tight, out of alignment and moving the wrong way rather than loose, in alignment and moving the right way.
What is the answer?
Often the answer to relieving this pain and improper function is Chiropractic care. Chiropractic is based on loosening muscles, aligning bones and allowing joints to move the right way. This takes pressure off the discs, ligaments, tendons and nerves. Taken together these changes improve function and reduce pain. It sounds pretty simple and many times it is.
You see, it’s all what your body gets used to. Many times our bodies get used to functioning and moving the wrong way. So we get used to stiffness and pain. When that happens it’s difficult for our bodies’ innate intelligence to correct itself and that is when we need a helping hand. That’s where we, as chiropractors come in.
