Do you have a “sensitive alarm”?
If you have been in pain for a prolonged period of time, you may have received some treatment, such as from a chiropractor, physio or acupuncturist, or even had surgery, which may have worked in the short term, but longer term you are still experiencing symptoms.
This may be because this is treating the body like a machine - assuming it is possible to find a “broken” part and “fix” it, or even replace it. Sometimes this works, but often it doesn’t and you are still in pain and we are unsure why.
Human beings are so much more complex and it is essential to consider psychological and social aspects alongside movement, in order to move beyond pain and get back to doing the things that are important to you.
Factors that may influence this could include:
- Family concerns
- Work issues
- Failed Treatments
- Different explanations from practitioners (have you had an MRI scan which has been interpreted by a practitioner? Have you been told you have “degeneration in the joint”, are “not strong enough” or have “bad posture”?)
- Ongoing pain (the nervous system gets better at producing pain the longer it goes on)
If you’ve been experiencing persistent pain take a moment to have a think:
Are there any of these factors contributing to a “sensitised nervous system” and prolonging your symptoms….?
