Health & Wellness “I waited as long as I could”

Dr. Sue Aery

When a patient comes in for help with pain, dysfunction and help with alterations in their lifestyle, and starts out saying, “I waited as long as I could”, it makes me realize that I have not done enough to educate. My job as a doctor is to help as many as I can before their pain becomes debilitating. We always want to prevent bad health situations and prepare for a better life situation with optimal health. I hope to impart good information and instill trust in order to change the story of someone who says “I waited as long as I could” to “I am here to feel great and prevent further deterioration of my health”. Doesn’t that sound better? Imagine how fun life can be when better health is the rule instead of the exception! Why would you wait at all if you’re in pain? Would you wait until your car sputtered on the highway, forcing you to pull over and call a tow truck? We all know to check the oil and fluids and change them regularly. In much the same way, chiropractic maintenance care makes sense. Taking care of your structural unit - your skeleton and organs - through a gentle tune up of your nervous system on a regular basis is like keeping the most beautiful car tuned up so that it purrs when it runs at high speeds. Making sure that the engine cranks every time you need it to is just like taking care of your body on a regular interval. Don’t wait until you are in pain, sputtering and stalling, unable to function on demand, making excuses to not be active or enjoy the things you love to do. If you take care of your body before you need to quit and rest, you can continue living your life with energy and freedom, without pain. The next time you say to yourself, “I am waiting as long as I can”, finish that sentence with “to crash and burn”. Then say, “I am ready to take better care of me so that I can live my ultimate life without pain and discomfort”!!! You can do this - just change the story that you tell yourself and others. Be proactive and proud of who you are and how you take care of YOU!
