Pain is basically just sequestered energy. It’s energy that our nervous system has put on lock-down because it decided it wasn’t safe for us to experience. It was useful and necessary for that energy to be locked away at one point, but life changes. We might outgrow the need for that energy to be locked down and it starts to come to the surface. We often experience that as pain.

Have you been battling a joint injury, inflammation or chronic joint pain for a long time? Maybe it is time you cleaned up your diet and have healthy meal plans in order to recover and become stable once and for all.

Dealing with neck pain can be, well, a pain in the neck. A stiff neck can be very uncomfortable. It can cause problems at work and while sleeping, interfering with daily life.

Pain is connected to the way we’re interacting with ourselves and our World and that if the pain is going to change, our lives are going to have to change too. The old way of feeling and thinking and doing has inertia and so if we’re going to overcome that inertia we’ve got to either add energy to the system or liberate energy that’s no longer needed elsewhere. A great source of that energy, and thus the solution to the pain, can be found in the pain itself. When we bring our attention to the pain we might notice that there’s an emotional component. That emotion is energy being liberated from the pain and we’re on our way to having a different experience of the pain.

Like most chiropractors people come to me with pain and are motivated by the possibility that their pain will go away. When people ask me if I can help them with their pain, the answer is always yes. However, they must understand that their pain is very connected with the way that they’ve been interacting with themselves and their world. By that I mean the stories they are telling themselves, the way they’re holding themselves, the emotions they’re feeling or not feeling and the actions they’re taking or not taking in relationship to their body and life. So, yes, I can help with the pain and it necessarily means that all of the things I’ve just mentioned have to change too.
