Ignoring Your Pain May Prolong Your Recovery

Got pain? Stop letting it get in the way of your life. Musculoskeletal pain is the #1 cause of disability worldwide. These injuries can cause mental, physical and emotional burdens on people’s lives. AND low back pain is the #1 most common musculoskeletal complaint. Over 40% of the population suffer from low back pain at some point in their lifetime. Especially with more and more people working from home, this percentage keeps increasing.


Maybe you don’t suffer from low back pain, but do you suffer from headaches? Plantar Fasciitis? Upper back stiffness? All of these conditions and more can make working, enjoying time with friends and family, and even doing the things you love difficult. However, most people ignore their pain until it truly becomes an issue. Yet, the true issue is that the longer you delay treatment for your pain, the longer it takes to rejuvenate your body.


Injuries, aches, and compensation patterns cause a change in the makeup of your tendons, ligaments, joints, and more. Type 1 collagen turns into Type 3 collage, which is ultimately less elastic and less friendly. This increases the likelihood of further injury. Additionally, as you continue to move in a painful manner, your brain changes the coding of your locomotive system, resulting in compensation patterns, improper stability, and higher susceptibility to more injury.
