Publisher’s Letter

W

elcome, readers, to the second issue of Burlington Magazine. We are so excited by the tremendous community support we received with our premiere issue last month.

Within the first forty-eight hours of uploading the digital version to our website, we logged over 14,000 readers!

Thank you all for your "likes" on Facebook, your encouragement, comments and suggestions, and for helping us spread the word about the magazine. We hope that you will continue to suggest interesting people and happenings as topics for future articles.

Summer may be waning, but there is still a lot to do and see in the Burlington communitythis month. The “Womanless Beauty Pageant” returns to the Paramount Theater to benefit the Alzheimer's Association on August 10th. Get your tickets and find out who will wear the crown of Mrs. Alamance 2013 this year!

See Legos come to life at the Alamance Arts Council with The Art of the Brick exhibit. The Humane Society of Alamance County is preparing for Woofstock, a fundraiser that helps the HCAC defray their expenses.

As a child, August was always an exciting time for me. Brand new empty notebooks eagerly anticipating being filled with page after page of homework, notes and doodles to document the adventure of another school year. In much the same way, beginning work on each issue of our magazine inspires the same excitement…blank pages waiting to be filled with vibrant stories about Burlington. It is my hope that reading these pages and the stories contained within is as much fun for you as researching and writing them is for us.

Until next month, please keep reading and sharing the magazine with your friends and family, and keep an eye out for us at many local events.

burlington magazine

O

N JANUARY 1, 2004 GAIL MOORE GOT THE PHONE CALL THAT HER DAD WAS DEAD. HER MOM CALLED HYSTERICAL, SAYING THAT HER DAD HAD DIED. SHE RUSHED OVER TO HER PARENT’S HOUSE AND WHEN SHE GATHERED HER FATHER UP IN HER ARMS, HE GASPED AND STARTED BREATHING AGAIN. HE’D HAD SEVERAL STROKES AND THEY QUICKLY GOT HIM TO THE HOSPITAL, WHERE HE SPENT TWO WEEKS IN INTENSIVE CARE.

When Gail met with his doctor at the hospital to discuss her father’s long term care options, he explained that her Dad would need around the clock care, which would feel like a 24-36 hour day. The doctor suggested looking for a facility.

When she informed him that they would be bringing her Dad home and caring for him there, he requested a meeting with the entire family. He wanted to make sure that everyone was on board and understood the level of care her father would require. There are times when patients need to move to a higher level of care, but her dad had not reached that level.

As the oldest of six, Gail was determined to care for her Dad at home. All her siblings were on board. She set up a log to keep track of who would be with him and when, what time he needed his medicines, appropriate doses, meals, personal care, doctor appointments and much more. It wasn’t long before the family realized they needed the assistance of their spouses as well to care for him, between everyone’s fulltime work schedules, children and other outside activities, they were able to work out a 24 hour schedule.

During this time, Gail felt God was tugging at her heart to let people know there were options out there to keep their loved ones at home longer. She spent a great deal of time researching opening an in-home care business that offered services to families. She began to seriously research the Home Instead Senior Care franchise, and although she didn’t know it at the time, they were researching her as well.

They are very careful who they select to award a franchise, and thoroughly check out any potential candidates before allowing them the opportunity.

Gail had worked in Accounting and Finance prior to opening her Home Instead Senior Care business. She loved her job with Lorillard Tobacco, where she was an administrator in the Accounting Department, but God had

shown her that he had other plans for her.

Gail’s Dad passed away on August 17, 2004, and she opened Home Instead Senior Care on October 15, 2004 to provide the type of care she had been able to give her father to other local families. Since launching Home Instead Senior Care in Alamance and Randolph Counties, she has employed 100s of caregivers and CNAs and Home Instead Senior Care has and continue to help 100s of seniors and their families maintain their independence and dignity in their homes or wherever they call home.

Gail feels “our caregivers are our greatest asset.”

Caregivers provide non-medical care, personal care, dressing assistance, medication reminders, light housekeeping, Alzheimer’s care, End of Life care, running errands, companionship and so much more. They assist family members with the challenges of caring for an elderly parent, and allow them to just be a son or daughter again.

The caregivers can come to the home, an assisted living facility, as well as nursing homes. They also work well with the local Hospice organizations and can provide care there as well at the family’s request.

HOME INSTEAD SENIOR CARE PROVIDES CARE WHEREVER THEY CALL HOME TO HELP THEM TO MAINTAIN LONGER, WHETHER IT BE IN HOME, INDEPENDENT LIVING, ASSISTED, OR NURSING HOME. One of Gail’s funniest memories is when Home Instead was able to provide care and companionship to a local farmer who had a tractor accident and was recuperating at home.

His family wanted them to provide light housekeeping and meal preparation during the day. After a couple of days, the caregiver called Gail to report in. “You’ll never guess what I’ve been doing today”. Apparently, the farmer was worried about his fences, and after lunch had asked the caregiver to grab a hammer. Together, they spent the afternoon outside

burlingtonmagnc.com

in the sunshine mending fences. Gail chuckled and replied, “Well, it was a beautiful day to be outside.”

At Home Instead Senior Care the CAREGivers are employees. They are not independent contractors. Their employees go through rigorous background, criminal and reference checks, as well as drug screening. Caregivers are fully trained when they start, and have mandatory ongoing training throughout the year. They are bonded and insured, and have worker’s compensation insurance. These are some of the things to look for when researching quality home care providers. Home Instead Senior Care is licensed by the State of North Carolina to do home care. Outside of following the guidelines from the State, there are Standards to follow to own a Home Instead Senior Care Franchise.

Since Gail started Home Instead she has taken care of her mom in the last years of her life, moved her 80 year old aunt into her home, which was diagnosed with dementia.

She cared for her until she passed. She herself has had back surgery. Caregivers from the company came in to assist her in all three situations. She wouldn’t offer anything to clients that wasn’t right for her own family. She is a walking testimonial to the top-notch services and caring that her team provides.

When a new client comes in, they work closely with the family to find a match between caregiver and client. They try very hard once a routine is established to keep the same caregivers with a client for continuity and peace of mind.

They provide many clients with 24-hour, round-the-clock care, overnight care, Holidays, vacations, weekend, and they can also offer “on-call” service, being there only when needed, but the majority of their clients are daily services.

Home Instead has short term clients who have had hip or knee replacements and other surgeries that may need a little help while they are recovering from surgery, as well as

burlington magazine

long term care.

Home Instead has a call in system where the caregiver arrives at the home and calls to report she is there. When the caregiver is leaving, she calls back in to the 800 number.

This gives peace of mind not only to Home Instead but to the families that the caregiver has arrived and serves as time clock system for invoicing and payroll.

The main office is located in Burlington and the atmosphere feels like family when you walk in. Everyone gets along well, and you can tell they truly care about their clients. Gail has another office in Asheboro.

Margaret Mitchell worked for the company for three years and is now the Recruitment and Retention Coordinator. She is a long-time resident of Burlington, and is retired from teaching school after 37 years.

Jennia Liston is the Quality Assurance Coordinator and a licensed practical nurse. She visits clients regularly and assists with any change of care needs that may arise.

Mary Moses and Susan Hearn, both registered nurses, handle nurse assessments with new clients, as well as 90 day follow-ups.

Lauren Dennis has been working as a CNA, while pursuing her nursing degree. She recently transferred to the office to handle scheduling.

Angie Wright started as an Administrative Assistant and moved into scheduling clients and caregivers.

Martha Foster handles all the accounting for the business.

Sheila Nance is the Administrative Assistant.

Hannah Nance is the receptionist and greeting visitors to the office with a bright welcoming smile.

Pamela Baxter is Marketing and Community Liaison for Home Instead Senior Care.

Gail is very involved and wears several hats in local

community organizations. She is a member of both the Randolph and Alamance Rotary Clubs. She sponsors many local events, such as Working Women Wednesday, the Pink Ribbon Luncheon at ARMC, the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, Dancing with the Randolph Stars, and Funcy Thursday, a networking luncheon for local healthcare providers. She has served as the Chairperson of the Alamance Alzheimer’s Committee for six years, and has been the Chairperson of the Randolph County Alzheimer’s Committee for the past two years. She is an active member of the Alamance and Asheboro/Randolph Chambers. She sponsors a free Senior Morning Movie the second Thursday of each month at 10 am with free popcorn and drink at the Graham Cinema.

Everyone that is 55 and over are welcome. Doors open at 9:30 am. Other sponsors are Hospice of Alamance and Caswell County, Lowe Funeral Home and Burlington Manor.

Home Instead Senior Care sponsors a program at Christmas called ‘Be a Santa to a Senior.’ In partnership with local Walgreen stores, they put up a tree with ornaments listing a senior’s first name and a gift or two they would like.

They work with local facilities to get the names of seniors who don’t have family close by and might not receive any gifts or visitors during the holidays. Gail attributes the success of the program to the communities’ generosity in supporting this wonderful endeavor, and it has brightened the holidays for so many local seniors.

People want to keep their loved ones home longer these days, and Gail is pleased to be able to offer quality, affordable service to the residents of Alamance and Randolph Counties.

Home Instead Senior Care takes private pay, Veteran’s Assistance, and Long Term Care insurance. There are over 900 franchises nationally and internationally, and are ranked #1 in the non-medical home care provider field.

“This generation of seniors that we are caring for now, they are the greatest generation to ever exist – the history we can learn from them, where they have been and what they have seen over their lifetime. I am reminded of one of my favorite quotes from the Bible: Psalms 71:18 “Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake [forget] me…”

“I hope we never forget what our greatest generation has done to bring us to this day.”

As an Advocate for Azheimer’s, there is a Walk to raise funds. Alamance County Walk will be the last Saturday in September at the Depot. Randolph County Walk is in October. We would love for you to call and come and be a part of the Home Instead Senior Care Team. n burlingtonmagnc.com

ankle inJuries

A

nkle injuries can not only be painful, but they can also impede your mobility. Ankle sprains are the result of an unnatural twisting or force on the ankle bones, which stretches and tears one or more ligaments on the outside of the ankle. Ankle sprains are not to be taken lightly. Over time, if left untreated, the ankle becomes weaker, which means you are likely to re-injure it in the future. Repeated sprains can also lead to arthritis.

In many cases, you might not be able to tell if you have simply sprained an ankle or actually fractured or broken it. Symptoms of ankle sprains include tenderness and swelling, as well as decreased range of motion. Sprained ankles generally have some stability, whereas fractured ankles are unable to articulate or bear any weight.

Treating a sprained ankle consists of rest, ice, compression and elevation. Physical therapy may be recommended to strengthen the weakened ligaments and tendons affected by the strain. Re-conditioning these muscles will help prevent injury in the future. Over the counter medications are usually sufficient to treat pain.

You can take steps to avoid ankle sprains!

Warm up before activities, and do not forget to properly stretch. Wear appropriate shoes that offer good support, and pay attention to running or walking surfaces. If you have

particularly weak ankles, be sure you are wearing appropriate footwear or braces to offer extra stability of the ankles. Lastly, pain is a warning sign. If your muscles are feeling fatigued or sore, listen to your body and take a break from your activity.

Don’t wait to treat an ankle sprain. It is important to control swelling and bruising to ensure a full receovery. Be sure to call us right away when you have injured your foot or ankle. We have three convenient locations near you! n

ASK THE EXPERT SENIORS

How Can You Take Care of Your Elderly Parents?

W

ith the nation's population steadily aging, countless individuals are grappling with the challenge of caring for their elderly parents while continuing to raise their families, pursue their careers, and uphold other responsibilities. This task can become quite overwhelming—especially for people who feel as though they are alone in their efforts to help their elderly loved ones live a high quality of life. If you are in this situation it is important to remember that you are not alone! There are many ways in which you can strive to keep your elderly parents healthy and happy. The key is to know how you can improve their safety and where you can turn when you need help.

First and foremost, if your elderly parents are aging in place it is crucial to ensure that their home is secure. Safety in the home environment can be achieved by taking a quick inventory of any issues that may pose a threat to your seniors. For instance, you might consider taking a walk through the home and noting anything that may cause your loved one to trip and fall, that may impede their ability to walk through the house easily, or that may pose a fire hazard.

Food preparation, too, is an important aspect of caring for your seniors. Make it a point to keep their pantry and refrigerator stocked with healthy foods that they can access easily.

If necessary, prepare their meals each week so that they can simply heat up their food when they get hungry. Malnutrition is a major

problem for many elderly individuals, so make certain that your loved ones have the foods they need to keep their bodies healthy and strong.

Finally, it is important that your parents are able to remain active in the community. If they need it, provide transportation to activities that they will enjoy, such as interest group meetings, religious organization meetings, and more.

Taking care of elderly parents can certainly become overwhelming. If you feel as though you need help, don't hesitate to call the professionals at Always Best Care Senior Services for assistance. These eldercare providers can offer the information and support you need to make sure that your parents continue to live healthy, happy lives. n

Joanne Pizzuto is the owner of the Always Best Care Senior Services serving Alamance and Guilford Counties. With over 18 years of experience as a health care and senior living professional, Joanne is a very passionate and knowledgeable resource, who can assist seniors and their families with the best in home care or finding the most suitable match for senior living services.

RENOVATION CAPTURES NATIONAL ATTENTION THANKS TO SOCIAL MEDIA

A

By David Carter

MERICANS HATE TO SEE DETERIORATION IN OLD NEIGHBORHOODS AS MUCH AS THEY LOVE A GOOD COMEBACK STORY. FORTUNATELY FOR THE CENTRAL HEIGHTS NEIGHBORHOOD NEAR

DOWNTOWN BURLINGTON, A SPECIAL RENOVATION HAS TAKEN PLACE WHICH HAS CREATED QUITE A STIR. 18

burlington magazine

Built in 1935 as a modest Tudor-style home, 423 Circle Drive has served many families in nearly 80 years, but had fallen into a state of disrepair and neglect for the past decade. When Ken Smith, a real estate investor, first saw the property, it was so overgrown that it could barely be seen from the street, but he knew it would be his next project.

With the recent turn of the economy and subsequently the housing market, it was the perfect time for a rebirth of such a charmer and 423 Circle has been getting the attention it deserves through a renovation inside and out.

The renovation includes knocking down walls to add a second vintage-style bath, a custom kitchen with granite and stainless steel appliances, installing a modern central heating and air system and that’s only one part of the story.

The house has gained a loyal following on Facebook.

A page dedicated to 423 Circle Drive has more than 300 followers across the nation watching the remodel. According to Smith, “People as far away as Texas, Florida, Wisconsin, and Arizona and locals as close as next door have been watching the renovation through this innovative way of connecting and commenting on everything from new plumbing to the custom cabinetry or the ideal color for the front door. More than 280 posts were made just on the front door color.”

While the Facebook page has captured the hearts of followers, it unexpectedly brought some new connections and personal stories. Since starting the project, Smith has connected with two folks who lived in the house. He said, “One gentleman stopped by for a couple of hours on a Saturday morning and walked through the house, pointing out details of his old bedroom, where he watched cartoons and recalling details of his grandfather sitting on the porch and canning vegetables in the kitchen. He told me that his favorite childhood memories were made in that house.”

Smith also discovered that the mother of a close friend and former colleague lived in the house in the 1950s.

The renovation of 423 Circle Drive experienced by many through social media is a great example of how new technology can connect us to the past. For more details about the classic black and white marble floor in the original bath, the refinished hardwoods in the kitchen, and the beautiful details of the arched front door, simply “like” 423 Circle Drive on Facebook and see for yourself. n

COMMUNITY CHARACTER

A Recipe for Happiness

By Dave Johnson

20

burlington magazine

ndoubtedly, if you ask most people what they desire from life, ‘happiness’ would be among the top answers.

However, happiness, and especially how one goes about obtaining it, is somewhat nebulous; ask twenty people to define it and almost certainly you’ll get twenty very different answers. One of my favorite definitions is from Mahatma Gandhi - “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” I bring this up because my interview with this month’s community character, Kathy Hackshaw, Executive Director of Children’s Museum of Alamance County, started with a conversation about happiness. “I am positive all the time”, Kathy said. “I smile all the time and when people ask me how I am doing, I always answer in a positive way”. While we were talking, I noticed the words inscribed on Kathy’s necklace summed up her attitude simply, yet succinctly – “Choose Joy”.

Kathy grew up in Greensboro and graduated from Page High School. For college she chose Wake Forest and graduated with a degree in History.

After college she began her career as a 10th-grade History teacher. After seven years of teaching she decided that there was much more she wanted to accomplish in life and so began her very interesting and eclectic career. “I’ve done a lot of different things in my life”, Kathy said. “There is a tremendous amount of opportunity available that can be discovered simply by talking to people and asking the right questions. That is how I got the job here at the Children’s Museum.

I was talking with my friend Barbara Massy who mentioned the museum was looking for an Executive Director.

Although I wasn’t necessarily looking for a change at the time, I was open to the opportunity.”

Kathy’s career has been varied and interesting. Her father’s advice regarding her career has served her well over the years. “If you can make more money and/or learn something, you should do it”, he said. Along with

teaching, professional modeling, owning a modeling agency, property management, retail management and various senior leadership positions with large corporations, Kathy was a founding board member and COO (Chief Operating Officer) for Thunder Road USA, Georgia Racing Hall of Fame.

Helping start and run this non-profit racing museum gave her the experience she needed to be a perfect fit for her current position.

Kathy and her husband, Robert Gonzalez, have moved around quite a bit over the years but love Burlington and have no plans of living anywhere else. She has four children and five grandchildren along with two dogs, a Great Pyrenees named Alex and a German Shepherd named Patton. One of the few things she would change about her life, is the distance she lives from her children and grandchildren. If she could, she’d have them all living closely together as long as they were happy and able to be self-sufficient. And, if she won the lottery, she’d buy a horse ranch in Arizona and donate money to Wake Forest and the Children’s Museum.

Certainly Kathy has developed a recipe for happiness.

From a practical perspective, she swims every day and eats well. Professionally, being surrounded by kid’s laughter and watching children invent games and play with each other every day plays a large role in her happiness. However, as Gandhi suggests, it is obvious that what she thinks, says and does are all in harmony. n

ASK THE EXPERT REAL ESTATE

10 Selling Myths Uncovered

elling a house can be a bit like having a baby -- everyone gives you advice that may or may not be true for you. Here are ten common myths uncovered: 1. Myth: You should always price your home high and gradually lower it if it doesn't sell.

Truth: Pricing too high can be as bad as pricing too low. You may think by listing high you can always accept a lower offer, but if you do, you'll miss the buyers looking in the price range where your home should be. Your real estate agent will offer you a comparable market analysis that compares your home to other similar homes in your area.

2. Myth: Minor repairs can wait until later.

There are more important things to be done.

Truth: Minor repairs make your house more marketable, allowing you to maximize your return (or minimize loss) on the sale. Buyers are looking for an inviting home in move-in condition. Buyers who are willing to tackle the repairs after moving in automatically deduct the cost of needed fix-ups from the price they offer. You save nothing by putting off these items, and you may likely slow the sale of your home.

3. Myth: Once potential buyers see the inside of your home, curb appeal won't matter.

Truth: Many buyers drive by a home before deciding whether or not to look inside. Your home's exterior will have less than a minute to make a good first impression. Spruce up the lawn, trim shrubs and trees, and weed

the garden. Clear the walkways of leaves and debris. Repair gutters and eaves, touch up the exterior paint and resurface cracked driveways and sidewalks. Place potted flowers out front, hang a wreath on the door and put out a pleasing welcome mat for added curb appeal.

4. Myth: Once potential buyers fall in love with the exterior look of your home, you put interior improvements on the back burner.

Truth: Buyers have no qualms about walking right out the front door within 60 seconds if the house doesn't look like it could be theirs.

Remember that most buyers are looking for an inviting home in move-in condition.

Spending a few thousand dollars for the right work on your home before you sell it usually translates into a higher selling price and shorter marketing time.

5. Myth: Your home must be every homebuyer's dream home.

Truth: If you get carried away with repairs and replacements to your home, you may end up over-improving the house. At some point, improvements you make to your home can exceed what is customary for comparable homes in your area.

6. Myth: Buyers are never swayed by sellers that offer creative financing options.

Truth: By offering flexibility in financing options, you may lure more prospective buyers. You might consider offering seller financing, paying some of the buyer's closing costs, including a one-year home warranty, or other buyer incentives.

7. Myth: You are better off selling your home

on your own, thus saving the commission you would have paid to a real estate agent.

Truth: Statistically, many sellers who attempt to sell their homes on their own cannot complete the sale without the service of a professional real estate agent. Sellers often net less from the sale than sellers who use a professional.

8. Myth: Good sellers should be available to guide prospective buyers through the home, giving the whole process a more personal touch.

Truth: Prospective buyers will feel more comfortable if the current owners are not there. Your real estate agent will be happy to look out for your home during open houses or showings.

9. Myth: Successful sellers insist that the terms of the sale happen their way or no way.

Truth: If you approach the sale of your home as the buyer's adversary, you risk losing a solid buyer for no good reason.

Both you and the buyer have the same goal: for you to sell your home and for the buyer to buy it. Work with your real estate agent to approach negotiations positively and with a win-win frame of mind.

10. Myth: When you receive an offer, you should make the buyer wait. This gives you a better negotiating position.

Truth: You should reply immediately to an offer! When a buyer makes an offer, that buyer is, at that moment in time, ready to buy your home. Moods can change and you don't want to lose the sale because you stalled in replying. n

s you probably know, The Art of the Brick has come to town for all of August, September and October.

Because of the Wooten Family Fund, this amazing exhibit is free to the public. If you brought a family of four to see a similar exhibit in Times Square, you’d pay over $100.00 before parking! Come see the exhibit and marvel at what one former lawyer’s imagination created out of LEGO® bricks! The wonderful folks at the Arts Council are working very hard to bring you spectacular exhibits as often as they can. Please take a

moment to say “thank you!”

The bulk of Nathan Sawaya’s sculptures are housed at the Alamance Arts Council in Graham, also known as Captain White House. Six of the thirty sculptures are located in the Children's Museum of Alamance County. This traveling exhibit is usually shown in only 2-4 US cities a year.

There is a lot happening in the area that ties in nicely with creativity and LEGOS®.

Bricks 4 Kidz, a new franchise, assists kids in learning science, technology, engineering, art and math using LEGO® bricks.

They will be teaching classes two Saturdays a month at the Library. They strongly believe in and support the power of kids teaching kids.

Let’s introduce you to two local young men who will be assistant teachers with the younger kids, showing how to build, create and program LEGO’s® and MINDSTORM® robotics.

Ben Johnston is 15 and a rising 10th grader who attends The Hawbridge School in Saxapahaw, while patiently waiting for an entire year to go by until he gets his license. Ben is an amazingly kind and smart young man. In Ben’s spare time he is building his own gaming computer. He said that most of the computers in stores are not powerful nor fast enough.

He needs only two more pieces to finish his masterpiece, but alas, they are the two most expensive pieces: the processor (CPU) and a dedicated graphics card. He is happy to take donations. He is about $300.00 short.

Ben is a hard worker and I know he will earn the money soon. We’ll keep you posted on when his gaming computer is finished.

Ben will be helping the kids build their NXT Robots for the next three months at the Graham

Library. Ben wants to go to Full Sail University in Florida to study programming and game design.

The second young man I’ve had the pleasure of meeting is Bobby McQueen. He is 13 and a rising

8th grader at Burlington Day School. He is a pitcher with a wicked curve ball and loves basketball and lacrosse. I asked his friend Chandon what is the best thing about Bobby and he replied, “He is a good friend, supportive and always has your back.” I know he will easily and happily do what you ask. Even though both his parents are Doctors, I could see Bobby being an excellent historian. He loves his ancient history classes and loved his trip to Italy this summer. As he put it, “I loved the crazy old stuff.” I noticed Bobby listens deeply, asks thoughtful questions and I think he will excel at whatever interests him. Bobby will be helping the kids with the Basic Brick building classes at the library.

If these two young men are representative of their generation, we can rest assured we will have fine leaders, kind citizens and creative solutions to the world’s problems.

If you see them around town, say hello to them and get to know these amazing young citizens of Alamance County.

Stay tuned for more opportunities to enjoy the amazing creativity of people who build wonderful creations out of these simple plastic bricks. n

You know a meal is well done when you want to keep eating more, even when you are full! Although we barely had room, a dessert tasting was a must so we went the traditional route and ordered tiramisu – and extra forks! It was well worth the extra mile I had to walk the next morning, light, creamy and absolutely fantastic!

ASK THE EXPERT

CHIROPRACTIC CARE

Your Back and the Myths That Keep You in Pain!

O

ur offices have treated thousands of patients and we hear the three biggest lies that cause people undue pain and suffering all the time.

Below, we list them and what to do in case YOU’VE been lied to.

“The pain will go away” This is the most dangerous and prevalent lie that we hear. Most people who suffer from back and neck pain, think that they can just “wait it out” and the pain will just disappear. The good news for some of you is that your body is amazing organism and will do everything possible to heal itself and get you out of pain. The bad news is that if pain is lasting for more than 3 days, your body is not winning and may be causing more problems that can lead to a lifetime of pain and disability. So if you have had pain that is lasting more than 3 days, it would benefit you greatly to keep reading to learn what to do next.

“It’s just a pulled muscle” This lie is what causes many people to have pain that continues to recur from simple daily activities that should not normally cause pain. When your body is having pain, it should be taken as a warning sign that something is not working correctly. Often times we think pain is just a reminder to be easy, but it’s not that simple. It’s like hearing a fire alarm at your work and assuming that it’s only a drill. You may be correct, but if you’re wrong – you could be risking your life. It makes sense to first check what’s causing the alarm, and then taking the necessary steps to insure your safety and well-being. It is only logical to treat pain the same way. If you have pain, check it out, and then take the next necessary step. To find out the next necessary step, keep reading.

“I don’t need this looked at by a professional” Finally, this is the lie that has led hundreds of my patients to extended treatment plans, and why some of my patients have undergone surgery and other invasive

procedures that could have been avoided through a basic evaluation. Similar to the lie above, many people try to “self medicate”, hoping that this will get them over the pain. Like I stated before, this process not only causes more harm than good, it often times leads to things like prescription drugs and surgery that might have been prevented. So here is what you should do to stop the lies.

All our offices have doctors trained to evaluate you for the true cause of pain. We perform hundreds of these evaluations every month, and thousands of people throughout the Triad have enjoyed pain free active lives because of it. If you or a loved one has been lied to - give our offices a call and we’ll get you information that will stop the lies, and help get you on the road to living pain free and honest.

We are also offering Burlington magazine readers the opportunity to contact us via email at HealthFirst@ hstriad.com to ask questions about chiropractic, physical rehabilitation or general health questions.

Questions will be answered in our monthly column to show you the benefits of chiropractic treatment. n

Dr. Chris Hussey studied at High Point University and graduated with a B.S. in Biology, before entering Palmer College of Chiropractic in Florida. He is also trained in Radiology, Functional Rehabilitation, Nutrition and Spinal Decompression. He has been a patient of Chiropractic since his childhood with phenomenal results and enthusiastically delivers Chiropractic care to his own patients to improve their lives!
