Getting healthy in the new year can always feel a little overwhelming. Where do you start, what are the first few steps towards a healthier you? Usually people start with eating better and committing to a fitness routine. These are great things to do but exercise can quickly feel un-attainable to someone who deals with chronic pain.
Pain can stop you from even starting a workout routine if activity makes the pain worse. Managing pain can quickly consume your free time and push your New Year’s resolution to the back burner. Pain that gets worse with activity always has a muscle component to it. Always. The thing about muscles is they are like a light switch, they are either on or off. To fix a muscle you can make a temporary change by forcing the muscle to relax or contract. This is a short-term solution. To have a lasting solution you must fix the thing that is controlling that switch. The real boss is your brain and spinal cord. Improper nerve signals are almost always the root cause of dysfunction in your body. Some of the nerves you have conscious control of, but many of the muscle systems in your body work on the subconscious level.
Fixing subconscious brain function sounds impossible! Maybe it can be done with months after months of occupational therapy. Or maybe there is an easier way. At Advanced Spinal Care we take care of the unconscious part of brain and muscle balance every day. We use the NUCCA protocol to balance the head and neck and restore proper brainstem function so that people can get back to their normal lives.
