Why do you feel pain? This is a common question we can get in the office, and a good one.
Our bodies are intelligent. Pain is our body’s warning system, and it is an indicator of inflammation and damage. Pain shows up to prevent us from ignoring the problem any longer.
Importantly, pain also serves to unload, or take pressure off the damaged area, so that we don’t make any bad choices that could further damage the underlying problem.
Often times, pain is confusing, because it isn’t specific. It doesn’t tell us exactly WHAT the problem is, and it doesn’t tell us exactly W
HERE the problem is.
This is very similar to the check engine light on the dashboard of your car. When the light comes on, you know there’s a problem. But you don’t know what or where the problem is. We all understand that in order to have the problem resolved, we have to take our car to a mechanic.
What happens if you don’t? What happens if you continue to drive your car and ignore the check engine light? You will damage your car! This means more money out of your pocket, bigger problems down the road, and your car simply won’t last as long.
This is the same for your body. Pushing past pain, or ignoring it will certainly lead to more pain, and irreversible damage to you
r joints, muscles, and nerves. This puts your body on the fast track to wearing out.
And trust us when we say, surgeons waiting rooms are filled with people who didn’t take their pain and injury seriously.
Fixing your problem now means bet
ter, faster results, more money in your pocket, and longevity for you.
Between your car and your body, which one has to last your entire life?
If you, or anyone you know is dealing with pain and injury, or has seen trainers, physical therapists, chiropractors, or other manual therapists with little relief, it’s time to give us a call.
The doctors at Apollo have more training accurately diagnosing and fixing muscle, nerve, and joint problems than any other healthcare facility in the state of Colorado.
