You may laugh at this, but I hear this all the time, “Why isn’t my pain gone yet? I’ve already had a few adjustments, why is the pain still here?” Well, a few factors play a role in your experience of pain. The first and most important thing is how long have you had the pain? Second, is did you take care of yourself like eat the proper foods, workout, get enough sleep and get regular Walnut Creek Chiropractic tune-ups. And third, miracles do happen, but not with 60 years of arthritis, mortgages, car payments and kids and grandkids. In other words, the length of time you’ve been dealing with the problem, the methods in which you used to deal with the pain, and compounding physical and emotional stresses play a huge role in your continued experience of pain.

Let me share a story from a Walnut Creek Chiropractor friend of mine. Many years ago, Dr. Damon used to work out a lot. When he was 19 years old, he was attempting to break a world record. This record was 681 lbs. in the Squat power lifting exercise. About 1 month before he was going to break the record, he severely injured his back, while working out with 600 lbs. The weight came down on top of him and he was paralyzed and unable to move. At the Gym, they wanted to take him to the Emergency Room. He wouldn’t let them. He would only go to his Walnut Creek Chiropractor. He knew that his body needed an adjustment. His father and brother brought him to his Walnut Creek Chiropractor and left him there for the rest of the day. The Walnut Creek Chiropractor adjusted him 3 times a day (they dropped him off at 7:30am and his Dad picked him up at 6:00pm).

On the 4^th day he was able to walk. It was a groundbreaking experience in his life and set the stage for him to finish out his credits at Morehead State University and go to Chiropractic School in Davenport Iowa. So, why does he have back pain today even with Walnut Creek Chiropractic? That specific injury combined with all the other accidents he had (just like everyone else) made his spine weaker and more susceptible to pain and stress. You see that once you injure yourself severely your body forms scar tissue and the nerves become more sensitive and susceptible to changes.

If Walnut Creek Chiropractic was only about back pain, his would have been gone many years ago. The majority of your pain will go away over the next few weeks to months, but there are exceptions to the rule. However, you must realize that Walnut Creek Chiropractic isn’t about back pain; it is about the health and function of your nervous system. Just as with my friend, he can’t make his old injuries or yours go away. With him, there was permanent damage to his spine, and there are certain things that he shouldn’t do (like do heavy squats or workout with weights). But we can prevent future damage and allow your nervous system and spine to be as healthy as it can be. He still has back pain on a regular basis, but that is like knowing that you have a 69 Chevy and still continuing to drive it with 250,000 miles on the odometer. As long as he continues to take care of his spine and get adjusted on a regular basis, his health and yours will be maintained even with occasional lower back pain.
