You are more than your diagnosis. Read that again.
Often times I see patients come in either seeking a label to slab onto their pain or complaints or truly owning a diagnosis another provider has given them. Sure, you may have degenerative discs, but are you truly broken and uncapable of resuming your life? Being told you have a problem doesn’t honestly serve you well, BUT the good news is learning proper movement patterns to alleviate and reverse pain and conditions does.
What led to the cause of your diagnosis in the first place? Poor movement? Poor load management? Perhaps bad luck—ok. We can fix poor movement and poor load management. It can help improve your function, stop the pain cycle, prevent your condition from worsening.
Pills (generally) and excuses (for sure) won’t fix the problem. Cortisone injections also does not address the movement patterns that caused this in the first place either.
Let’s get a few things straight. You are NOT your diagnosis and you should NEVER let your diagnosis limit or restrict you. Your symptoms and diagnosis is not your identity.
As your movement based provider, let’s focus on moving better, building resilient strength and improving your quality of life. If you are ready to address the root cause and stop treating symptoms, give us a call! Whether you schedule with me for chiropractic or acupuncture, one of our amazing massage therapists, or even a Pain & Performance session, let’s get you out of hiding under your labels.
