Years of chiropractic, neuromuscular therapy, massage, and medication will never fully heal chronic pain unless you address lifestyle issues. If you have an unmanageable stress level or excessive physical repetition in your work, manual treatment will only temporarily ease your chronic conditions.
Perhaps your pillow or mattress is impeding your recovery, or maybe the low arches in your feet are causing your hips, shoulders, and neck to overcompensate. High anxiety levels undoubtedly contribute to chronic pain, and those with sedentary, high-stress jobs are at an even higher risk for ongoing problems such as back and neck tension.
Dr. Cleland’s physical treatment will give you great results, often with immediate pain relief, but your body will never recover properly if you don’t examine your lifestyle habits. Conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, depression, and migraines are treatable problems and are often closely linked with lifestyle and stress issues.
