How to Diagnose, Reduce, and Eliminate Chronic Pains
About Episode
The chances are over 70% that you are reading this while sitting, and the chances are even higher that because you sit for long periods of time you experience chronic pain in areas such as the lower back, hips, shoulders, or neck. Maybe you get headaches. Maybe your have carpal tunnel. Whatever the malady, there is a solution, and it’s most likely easier than you think.
In this episode I have a conversation with Dr. Sadie Sanders, a chiropractor who specializes in the musculoskeletal system and its influence on the neurology and physiology of the human body. We talk about what is happening to the body when it sits all day long from a muscular and skeletal perspective, why everyone who sits has the same basic chronic pains, and most importantly, how to get rid of those chronic pains!
Episode Highlights
- Chiropractors have one common goal: To make the spine move correctly
- How the chiropractor evaluates you and your joints
- What happens when you hear that cracking/popping sound (and why can’t you do it yourself?)
- The negative adaptations to sitting (or standing) all day — structurally and physiologically
- The main areas of chronic pain for people who sit all day
- The pain you’re feeling may be a symptom of something completely different (Everything is connected!)
- Finding the real source of a problem rather than treating symptoms (something editors can relate to)
- How adjustments and trigger points can set off an emotional response
- Dr. Sanders evaluates my own emotional issues SOLELY based on where I hold my tension
- The difference between a chiropractor and physical therapist
- How exercise and movement can help reduce (or eliminate) your chronic pains
- Dr. Sanders’ self-care program to get rid of stress and increase strength (and it’s only 2-5 minutes per day!)
- How you can easily integrate the self-care program into your day
- Ninety-five percent of human activity is habitual. Make movement a habit!
