San Francisco and Marin County Back Pain specialist identifies common trait with those that recover from debilitating Back Pain.
I have been treating chronic back pain in San Francisco and now Marin County for over 15 years. I treat conditions such as degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, facet syndrome, disc bulges, and disk herniations, using state of the art technology, along with hands on therapy. I incorporate diet, exercise, meditation, and yoga into our treatment regimen. This program seems to work for most patients. Of course, the patients that put the most into it, get the most out of it. But, when it comes to making the decision to get started in the first place, I have noticed something similar with the patients that decide to put it off. There is always a reason they can't start. Here are some of the excuses I hear: My kids are starting school soon. I have too much work going on right now. I have to travel too far. I am going on vacation in 2 months. It's just not the right time. I am trying to sell my house. After the first of the year will be better, and on and on. Meanwhile, the degenerative condition marches on, often times with the symptoms being masked by harmful medications. On the flip side are those that take action. The patients that decide to make getting better their number one priority and organize their life around the process are the ones that get rewarded. There will always be reasons why you should not take action. Like the old saying goes.. You can't keep doing the same thing and expect the outcome to be different. Keep on doing what your doing, and your going to keep on getting what your getting. You can always find reasons not to do something. Admitting something is wrong and that what you are doing is not working is the first step. Then, deciding to take action to fix the problem without letting anything get in your way is the next step. Of course this is all based on having found a potential solution to the problem that you are in agreement with. At this point the stars have all aligned and it is up to you to make it happen. Will you do it or will you put it off and remain a prisoner of your pain ? The choice is yours.
