When you're doing all the right things to prevent back pain and then you get a flare up...
You're probably wondering, "Why do I even go to the chiropractor??"
Flare ups happen because life keeps happening.
You're getting stronger but stress, poor sleep, carrying all your and your kids' things and sitting hunched over your computer all day can still trigger pain.
And where your body has an injury or trauma is where the pain will show up.
This doesn't erase your progress though.
Compare this idea to your teeth. You may get a cavity even though you brush your teeth every day, but think how much worse your dental health would be without this preventive care.
Prevention work isn't a magic shield.
It doesn't guarantee you will have no pain when your kiddo begs to be picked up 52 times a day or your work proposal, that kept you hunched over your computer for days, is due.
Your consistent small actions over time are building strength and resilience.
Trust the process and remember, without doing this work regularly, these flare ups would happen more frequently and they would be much more severe.
Thoughts?
