What if your family physician, your physical therapist, or your chiropractor acturally said this to you:

“My biggest goal for you before you get back to doing the things you love is to get you to the EXACT SAME LEVEL you were when you hurt yourself or starting having this problem in the first place.”

Does that sound as absurd to you as it does to me? 

That’s not helping you get long term results. That’s setting you up for a never-ending recurrence of your problem. That’s the model of the pharmaceutical companies. Not to get you well, but simply manage your symptoms.

And, that’s what most healthcare providers try to do for you. 

I get it. You absolutely want to get back to doing what you love without pain…

But, what’s the point to get you back there if it only means that your pain will quickly return again. I see people in my practice, Life Chiropractic in Grass Valley, every week who were offered injections of cortisone with no plan to correct the problem. 

Why spend all that time and money to get back to the place where the problems started in the first place?

According to the Mayo Clinic a few of the risks of cortisone shots include:

• Cartilage damage
• Death of nearby bone
• Joint infection
• Nerve damage
• Tendon weakening or rupture

All for a procedure that will not and cannot correct the cause of the problem.

It’s like doing a lot of work to get to the point where you were before…

Causing the problem to return, often worse than it was before. 

Leaving you to start the process all over again.

And, silently in many cases the problem is actually worsening. Imbalances are causing the slow deterioration of joints and the development of arthritis. 

It’s not and shouldn’t be about getting you to where you were when the problem started.

It’s about getting you past your baseline and restoring balance and function to the areas causing the problem. 

This way you get long term results!

It’s time to be your own advocate for your health. 

It’s time to find a provider that’s less interested in a quick fix and “returning you to a prior level” and more interested  in correcting the imbalances that led to the problems you experience so you don’t go back there again. 

Here’s our Process at Life Chiropractic:

• Identify the Root Cause before doing anything else and create a plan to fix it.
• Identify the imbalances and bring you back to balance so you can move and feel better.
• Work on the long term correction.
• Give you tools to be able to optimize and stabilize your correction so you are successful on your own when you are not with us anymore.

At Life Chiropractic we are focused on identifying the core imbalances that are causing your problems. It doesn’t matter if you are experiencing chronic headaches, neck pain, shoulder and arm pain, back pain, sciatica, anxiety or a range of other challenges. 

The focus remains the same. Identify the imbalances that are causing your recurrent problems and create a plan for long term correction. 

Every chronic problem is caused by an imbalance that the body is unable to correct on its own. The plan is to identify the imbalance, correct it, and stabilize it so it doesn’t return.
