Chronic pain conditions are common and dramatically affect the lives of many people. People often feel that they must just live with back pain, neck pain, headaches, or pain in the feet, knees or hips. Often, the only recourse is to reluctantly reduce or eliminate activities and attempt to control symptoms with pain medication. Of course, these solutions are less than ideal. People often resort to medications because they believe there are no other options available.
Actually these persistent painful symptoms are often signs of ongoing dysfunctions which can be addressed. These dysfunctions cause stress on tissues and structures, and this stress causes pain. This pain is actually a warning sign telling you that something is not right. Therefore, if at all possible, the cause of the pain should be identified and eliminated.
Very often these ongoing, painful dysfunctions are a result of common events such as injuries, strains, stress and other types of trauma that have occurred in the past. Although “healing” has occurred, there remains a change in function which is often detrimental.
With FR (Function Restoration) these detrimental dysfunctions may be reversed. As a result, pain that had been dramatically affecting your ability to live and participate in normal life activities is eliminated.
The dysfunctions causing pain also add excessive stress to the joints and tissues of your body as time goes on. This then accelerates the degenerative processes. If these dysfunctions are removed by applying the concepts of FR, stresses are dramatically reduced. In turn, this reduced excessive degenerative changes as aging progresses. Of course, this is very beneficial for quality of life in the latter years.
