My patients come to me with very big goals.
As a chiropractic rehabilitation specialist, I’m often expected to fix cases that other therapists failed to help.
But I’m not blaming the therapists.
It’s time we make these patients more accountable.
Therapists are not magicians.
We therapists are strategists, obsessed with human movement and in the detective work it takes to help a person get out of their own pain.
But really, your rehab success is due to a patient’s effort – inside, and especially, outside the treatment room.
The odds are very good that your ankle, hips, low back, or shoulder joints did not lock up overnight.
Get assessed. Get corrections especially designed for you.
Be patient with your progress.
But stay tenacious.
As always, it’s your call.
