Healing is our responsibility.
This past Monday I woke up in potentially the worst pain in my life. Any movement, even the simple act of breathing, sent sharp and shooting pain into my spine. Getting out of bed seemed like an impossible task and yet I had people to serve in less than 3 hours …
My clinical presentation, mechanism of injury and orthopedic tests all indicated a significant injury to the intervertebral dics of my lower thoracic spine (T10-T11). Most people would have rushed to the ER if they were in my position only to get imaging, pain medicine, talks of surgery and a referral for physical therapy which will take days to weeks to start (I’ve managed a PT clinic so I’m speaking from experience).
Yet that same day I was able show up to practice to serve my people and today I was able to do an intense yoga session PAIN FREE without drugs, imaging, or any form of medical treatment. How? Specific CHIROPRACTIC care 3 times this week (couldn’t breath without pain until an adjustment on Tuesday) and dialed in stability breathing/exercises in the morning before work, the evening after work and every moment I had in between. Can’t forget proper nutrition, rest, and mindset. That last one is important. Having mindset of knowing our body has an incredible capacity to heal, especially when given the right environment. Injuries are simply a lesson that can make us or break us. The choice is ours.
My message, as always, our health is our responsibility and we all need a team to help us be on the top of our health game. Best believe a chiropractor needs to be in that starting 🖐🏻
Always Love,

P.S. Have fun and stay goofy
