Understanding Chronic Pain and How To Get Rid Of It

Chronic pain is generally considered ongoing pain that lasts 3 months or longer.

It is a very common problem that includes migraines, headaches, neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, other extremity pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and more.

It may have started after a past injury like whiplash or a sports injury.

You may have been told you have arthritis, a disc injury, migraine headaches, or something like an autoimmune disorder and that you just have to learn to deal with the ongoing pain.

You may have these problems or something else, but the truth is that you can most likely substantially improve your pain or completely get rid of it with the right care.

We know this is true because we see it so often in our chiropractic clinic.

A previous video post discussed pain perception and how pain develops. You should check it out. It will further help you understand pain.

The video above discusses some important concepts about relieving pain.

The importance of movement, diet, sleep, and an overall healthy lifestyle can not be emphasized enough.

These things are important through very complex processes in the body even though the overall idea of a healthy lifestyle might seem simple and something that won’t be able to help your level of pain.

We see phenomenal results with so many chronic pain sufferers through the combination of chiropractic and lifestyle changes.

Movement in particular has been very heavily researched and shown to reduce pain and chronic pain.

One of the primary ways that you can improve the way your body moves is through chiropractic care.

No treatment has the potential to improve movement faster than chiropractic treatment… we see this so often in our Texarkana clinic, rapid improvement in movement and ranges of motion.

Chiropractors are experts in evaluating how all parts of a body are moving.

Chiropractors are also experts at assessing posture and postural changes that often help create abnormal movement patterns.

The video talks about visualization of movement in helping your brain to understand it can move without pain.

This again might seem like a simple process but there are very complex brain based changes and activation that occurs during visualization.

This is one reason athletes commonly use the practice to improve their movements and performance.

It also mentions the important but difficult task of trying to stay positive.

This is important for several reasons.

It will help you keep trying to find the right combinations of things that will finally help you get better, including trying to do some of the difficult lifestyle changes that can make a big difference in so many chronic pain sufferers for complex physiological reasons that are well beyond what we mention in this blog post.

If you have chronic pain whether it’s migraine headaches, other headaches, arthritis, disc problems, chronic whiplash pain, neck pain, back pain, pain in your extremities or so many other painful conditions and have not seen a good chiropractor then you should it can very likely make a huge difference for you…

Even if your well meaning doctor or specialist has told you not to see a chiropractor.

This is because they are not an expert in chiropractic.

A good chiropractor will evaluate you and determine if they can help or if they can not.

It’s the only way to know.

There are also a variety of different treatments that chiropractors can do even though most people including other healthcare providers do not realize this.
