Healthcare in the US continues to deteriorate. Unfortunately, like a "boiling frog," we are becoming more complacent as the costs for lower coverage insurance rises. These costs not only affect our wallets, but also the loss of time and productivity spent waiting at the doctor's office. Waiting times can often be an hour or more....

The word on the streets is that the most abused drugs these days are found not being creatively cooked or grown, but bought over the counter in convenience stores near you. The drugs that are most often misused are not for recreational use but for the reduction of pain. The same pain that is the...

Are you suffering with pain for so long that your constant search has led you no closer to the real problem?
The first thing you do know is that the pain is real and you also find that…
- It can be intermittent or constant
- It can be sharp, dull, in one spot or over a broader area
- It can distract you at any time of the day
- It can irritate you
- It can hamper your lifestyle
- It can control you… and even control those around you too!
In fact, pain can be so bad it can affect an entire family which emotionally then causes you more pain.
Pain – What is it?
PAIN: So what is it then? Well here’s the answer in simple terms.
Pain is a warning signal from your body. Pain tells you that your body has exceeded “some” physical, chemical or emotional limit – it can no longer adapt to handle it like is used to.
The Unfortunate Reality of Man’s Chemistry Solution to Pain Relief
The unfortunate truth is that over the last century man has been searching for pain solutions and cures in the chemistry lab. While the pharmaceutical drugs created for pain relief have worked remarkably well temporarily, it has been the downfall for our society. Today, our society has fallen under the belief that the cure to all of our ailments is to be found in a pill, lotion, or potion rather than to address the real cause to our low back pain, migraine headaches, carpal tunnel, knee pain, sciatica, poor posture, fatigue, period pain, neck pain, tension, weight problem, and the never ending list. You see, the way these drugs work is to disable, for a short time, our brain’s ability to feel sensation of pain. The pain’s still there, but we just can’t feel it! It’s like placing a piece of duct tape over our oil light that is blaring at us on our car dashboard. Just because we can’t see (or feel it), it doesn’t mean it’s not there! The worst part is that when we temporarily can not feel the pain; our body has no way to stop us from injuring our body further by allowing us to do the activities that the pain would not normally allow us to do.
Although there have been incredible breakthroughs the real “wins” in health and pain relief have been proven to be when we have repaired our bodies naturally with the help of natural spinal correction (the foundation of your skeletal system), allowing natural repairs and restorations to our nervous system, plus physical rehabilitation and exercises to the muscles, joints, and discs which may be affected.

For decades, arthritis was considered an inherent part of the aging process and a signal to a patient that it’s time to slow down. But not anymore.

Our society for the most part lives for the exhilaration of endorphins that we release as we strive for the goal line of victory. We simply love winning. Our addiction will often be the force that drives us to the next challenge. We know that our win is never based on “good luck” but our preparations meeting opportunities for victory. But as with all athletics there is also an inherent risk of injuries not based on “bad luck” but other unfortunate circumstances.
When An Injury Happens
At the time of injury most often we are upset with ourselves and the circumstances and want answers to our questions:
- When can I start exercising again?
- When can I get back to my sport?
- What can I do to prevent this from happening again?
The answers to these questions are relatively straightforward. But for some, injuries continue to happen. Which leads us to our next key question:
- Why does this keep happening to me?
This is the hardest question to answer for some athletes for injuries may occur even when they are doing the things that they are supposed to be doing. But it is very important to continue to try to discover the underlying causes to better prepare for the next opportunities of greatness.
Understanding Causes
If we dig deeper, we’ll find that there are three main sources of training injuries: (1) under-preparation, (2) over-training, and (3) lack of focus or not paying attention.
Training sounds pretty simple on paper. Just eat right, sleep well, and lift a little bit more weight every workout. But every workout takes place in real life, and real life can make training pretty hard. Optimal training only occurs when daily life doesn’t get in the way.
Training like an athlete while working a full time job or going to school is not easy, but fixing weak points in your habits and lifestyle can help avoid training setbacks and plateaus.
The first training injury most often experienced is under-preparation. Under-preparation means doing things you’re not ready to do. People who have never done aerobic exercise go out and try to run five miles. People who have never done strength training go to the gym and try to lift weights that are too heavy. People who have never taken a yoga class go to one, like it, and then go every day for a week.
These exercise patterns can be dangerous, physically, and may directly lead to injury. A 16-year-old teenager has some leeway and can get away with making a variety of training errors. This may even be true for those who are in their mid-20s. But persons who are older need to train on a trajectory. Good principles to follow include starting slowly, starting with the basics, and making sure to include rest days in your training program. Build up your strength and stamina. Doing more than you are ready to do will send you straight to your chiropractor’s office or even to the hospital.
Remember exercise can cause muscle and joint pain. The severity of the soreness and how long it takes to recover depends on diet and lifestyle, as well as the kind of exercises performed.
Am I Over-Training?
The second most often cause for injury is over-training.
Over-training means doing too much. Most of us are guilty of this. For example, you love to run, you build up your weekly mileage to a good level, but then you keep piling on distance. All of a sudden you’ve got a stress fracture in your leg or a bad strain of a calf muscle. The key is to train smart, and to be aware of the possibility of over-training. The temptation to do more is always there, but the result is never good. The short-term gratification is completely outweighed by the frustration and loss of conditioning resulting from injury-enforced down-time.
Understanding Laser Focus
Many injuries happen during normal training because the person’s mind has wandered off, fatigue and/or lethargy.
When people pay more attention to the TV or to their incoming text messages than they do to the equipment they’re using or the weight they’re lifting, the result can be an injury, sometimes a bad one. In fact, you’re very unlikely to sustain an injury during normal training if you’re completely focused. Maintaining focus should be a central part of the discipline of training.
But what about lethargy and fatigue?
The occasional all-nighter won’t have a long-term effect on performance, but consistently poor sleep will. To ensure laser focus in mental acuity aim for six to ten hours of sleep every night and follow these guidelines for a healthy sleep environment:
A healthy sleep environment is:
- A slightly cool room tends to facilitate sleep.
- Turn off electronic devices. Smart phones and tablets just before bed will disrupt melatonin secretion, leading to a more difficult time falling asleep.
- Ears don’t close like eyes do. Even if you sleep through the night, loud noises can still impair sleep quality.
- Caffeine-free. Avoid any compounds that impair sleep and lower sleep quality.
- Where you sleep and how long you sleep for should be the same from night to night.
Ready to Learn More?
A big part of the assessment process is the acquisition of knowledge. In the realm of exercise and fitness, some personal knowledge of bio-mechanics can go a very long way toward preventing injuries.
Our expert team has been designed to help not only rehabilitate sports injuries through Chiropractic and other rehabilitative care but to help you learn more about human bio-mechanics and how to achieve your optimal physical performance.
