That pain is there for a reason; it is you body’s way of telling you something...

Do you ever wonder why you are having pain?


Did you know that pain is there for a reason? It is you body’s way of telling you something. It’s screaming “HELP ME”.
As a society, we are very reactive, we wait for something to happen and then we react. An excellent example is heart attack. Many victims of heart attack are unaware of the constrictiction in their arteries which lead to the heart attack. They assume they are healthy  because they don’t feel any pain or discomfort ... yet! But then, surprise, a life threatening heart attack hits you when you least expect it. Then with the new found knowledge that your heart attack was preventable with diet and life style changes many go on to make changes to avoid future complications.
Well with our spine unfortunately we do the same thing, we wait for pain, we take painkillers, once the pain is gone we think we are OK again to fight another day, and the cycle goes on. Unfortunately we don't realise that degenerative changes are constantly occuring in the spine. Here’s a novel concept… PREVENTION.
