Pain is an experience most people face at some point in their lives. In fact, approximately 80% of Americans will deal with back pain alone, not to mention neck pain, knee pain, or shoulder pain. At Southern Missouri Chiropractic, we believe pain is not something you have to live with forever. Let us guide you on what pain truly is—and more importantly—how we can help you overcome it.
Pain is your body’s way of signaling that something needs attention. It’s not just a sensation; it’s a call to action—a reminder to take care of your body’s movement patterns.
One common misconception is that pain appears suddenly, like when bending over to tie your shoes and your back “goes out.” However, in many cases, we can trace the vulnerability to earlier activities. Pain is often the last symptom to appear and, thankfully, the first to fade with proper care.
At Southern Missouri Chiropractic, we want you to understand that pain is:
Not a life sentence: While pain may feel overwhelming, the majority of people can achieve a pain-free life. The journey may not always be easy, but with dedication, time, and the right approach, it’s entirely possible.
Not the end of your passions: Pain may temporarily limit your activities, but it doesn’t have to define your future. In our practice, we use your favorite activities as milestones to track progress and motivate recovery.
Not an immediate call for imaging: Many assume that pain requires immediate imaging like X-rays or MRIs. While imaging is crucial in cases of trauma or specific conditions, most people can begin care without it. Our comprehensive exams and histories help us determine the best course of action, reserving imaging for situations where progress isn’t evident within a short time frame.
