Listen to your body. Yes, it talks to you. Your body will give you warning signs like muscle aches, tightness and fatigue. All signs that something bigger may come if you don’t take action.
Our minds are very powerful and can override the warning signs to allow us to get through each day. But at some point the body can’t take any more. That’s when the pain knocks you to your knees.
Patients tell me they were just hit with this excruciating pain out of nowhere. But at some point they recognize that the warning signs were there way before the pain became unbearable.
This is why getting treated regularly is so important. I have to work. I have kids. I just don’t have the time. If you don’t invest in yourself, your health, your well being, then you will not be able to work, be there for the kids or have time to do anything, because you’ll be in constant pain. You don’t want to wait for the symptoms to get so bad that you can’t function. You don’t want the things you love doing to be taken away from you. Whether it be the job, the kids, walking or hiking.
