The story goes like this: ‘It hurt for a few days, but then the pain went. Now I seem to have a problem breathing or it’s catching me in my ribs.’

Have an adjustment now or the story changes again a few weeks later. The next complaint will be a stiff neck or headaches. This is what happens when a lower back injury compensates over a period of time. The treatment has then to reverse the spinal misalignments in the same order in which they occurred, and this takes a longer time.

Immediate chiropractic/osteopathic care can save you time, money and suffering in the long run. Ignore an injury and the suggested medical treatment of anti-innammatories for weeks can cause stomach ulcers or even lead to surgery. Complications from these therapies can ruin your life as they are usually irreversible.

However when medical treatment is necessary, chiropractic/osteopathic ethics demand that the patient is given a speedy referral to the correct specialist.

Complications to simple spinal adjustments occur when the patient’s condition shows that the injury has re-occurred at a previous site of pain. These neglected spinal sprains over the years add up and make what should be an easy task a more lengthy procedure.

You see now why you are constantly being told that if you have an injury, don’t wait to see if it ‘goes away’ and the pain subsides: come and seek help while the adjustment is simple.
