Amnesia: a partial or total loss of memory. How can forgetting about something ever be a good thing? Well, as strange as it sounds, that is a common occurrence in my office. Like most of my other posts, this phenomenon seems to follow a very similar trend or pattern that occurs about three to four weeks into Upper Cervical Care. Here's how it goes:
1.) A person comes in with a laundry list of health challenges (pain, numbness, dis-function, etc. .. .)
2.) They receive their 1st UC correction.
3.) We check them several times per week to determine ho well they are holding their correction. (afterall, it's not the number of adjustments that helps a person heal, it's how long they hold the correct adjustment in the correct position!)
4.) A few weeks later, the person will come in and announce something like this: "You know Doc, you might think this is weird, but I used to think about pain all day long and I never realized how much of my day was consumed with it until I stopped having pain. I guess I forgot about the pain."
5.) A 46yr old female recently told me how she forgot about her 20 year struggle with diabetic foot pain. Everyday, she said it used to be a chore to put on and tie her shoes. Well, one day she says, "I just got up and was putting on my shoes. I forgot my feet hurt! They felt fine and I thought, I've been doing this for several days now and it just dawned on me that my feet don't hurt."
NOW THAT is convenient amnesia. I'm sure most people would agree, to forget about pain, or dis-function due to a return of health is never a bad thing. The question is, what are you waiting for? Your return to health could be as simple as the people mentioned above. The common thread they share is their willingness to try specific Upper Cervical Chiropractic.
Forget about what you may have been told (ie, you just have to live with it; there's nothing else we can do for you; etc.. . ) and try something new. You may just forget about your problems!
