In a lot of ways, lower back pain can feel a lot like catching a cold.
It’s a tough, albeit small, period in our lives where we can’t do everything we want or need to do. It’s mentally distracting, and thoughts run through our heads about how long we have to deal with this (or is it ever going to go away), as there is no definitive answer. Amazingly enough, we start to get better. We overcome those worrying thoughts, then eventually our fatigue starts to fizzle, our head feels less cloudy, and taking those first few raw inhales out of those cleared nostrils feels like a momentous triumph.
When dealing with lower back pain, it’s important to remember:
- We adapt
- We are resilient
- We are capable of incredible, fast, positive change
Lower back pain, like most other injuries, is a sign that our body has adapted to our environment in a way that isn’t necessarily ideal for the long term. The beauty is that back pain, like a cold, is a temporary adaptation response to our habits and behaviors. Through our resilience, we can re-adapt in a very short amount of time.
At our office, we help people find those things we need to change, temporarily or long term, eliminating the problem and promoting a prolonged resistance to a return to disorder.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions! We look forward to helping you better understand how to keep yourself well.
