Your thoughts determine your mental and physical victories and
defeats. If you are chronically in pain and struggling it regularly
affects your thoughts causing impatience, anger and irritability.
As a Doctor of Chiropractic I see it each day while treating my
patients with chronic neck pain, back pain, and headaches.
Twenty-five years of listening, observing and caring for my patients
has been an education that I use to teach others. I have learned
volumes from my patients.
Let’s look at two
examples:
Roberta, age 35, has severe neck pain. Her history is not
significant. She works daily in an office and she states that her
life is stressful. She is overwhelmed at home and work with no
one to help her and is always in fear about things. Now this
pain is incapacitating her and impeding her life. Her radiology and
exam findings are not producing significant physical cause for her
pain. Her condition goes unchanged after two weeks of care. I
decided to discharge her because her pain is far more than
physical. I urged her to open her communication lines and ask for
the help that she needs from those in her life, including
professional advice.
Irene, age 85, on the other hand comes in with severe back pain.
Her radiology findings show serious spinal decay and I question my
ability to help her. She has two weeks of gentle chiropractic and
returns in a few days without pain. Irene speaks of her faith in
God and that although she has been a widow for 30 years and lives
alone she never feels alone. She converses with God day and
night and asks Him to help her with everything. She told me that
she has no fear because she knows that He always cares for her.
I
have learned that your attitudes and fears shape your thoughts.
Your thoughts control your entire body, including pain, how fast it
heals or if it heals at all. This is the subject of psycho-neuro-immunology.
A big word with an even bigger impact.
We
will continue to explore this phenomenon….
