“I Desperately Need Sleep!” (The Conclusion of Carlos’s Story)

Even though Carlos felt like pain was his enemy, it truly became his ally. It literally did not allow him to rest until he found the real solution to his problem.

After six weeks of absolute misery, Carlos received his first adjustment. Within two days, he reported some easing of pain and the ability to sleep. Within three weeks, Carlos said he was 80% better.                                

“People kept coming up to me saying ‘Wow, you got better fast!’” In the next three weeks, he was pain-free and his sleeping concerns were in the past.

“Now I’m back to working out and running five days a week. I’m able to do anything and everything. I can’t believe how gentle and easy yet effective the adjustments were. I’ve continued to get adjusted at least monthly over the last year or two, and now I feel fifteen years younger. You can’t put a price on that.”

The persistence of Carlos’s pain helped drive him to a solution that led to a significant upgrade of his health and vitality.

The Underappreciated Value of Pain

Are you currently in pain? Is it beginning to feel like your enemy? Can you reframe those feelings and see them as the persistent voice of an ally telling you not to ignore the problem or give up, but to keep seeking a lasting solution to the underlying condition?

“Pain is only valuable once you know that you’ve learned from it.”

Healing Hints

1. If you have pain or illness symptoms that you’ve been inclined to see as a negative burden to be blotted out, I encourage you to reconsider your perspective and approach. Use the pain or other clues of system disturbance to locate the deeper underlying cause and then do whatever you can to correct that issue. The pain could be your greatest gift.

2. When we locate and begin correcting the condition underlying your pain, it’s often amazing how quickly and dramatically you can not only overcome your pain, but also regain your vitality and overall quality of life just like Carlos. Keep seeking to find the disturbed function that’s causing your pain rather than focusing on extinguishing your pain warning system.

3. A thorough chiropractic spinal and neurological assessment ASAP may well hold the answer for returning your health, vitality, and pain-free state, or better yet, prevent you from losing it in the first place. Contact us at Norton Chiropractic Wellness Center at 559-490-9550 to schedule an appointment for an evaluation before another week passes. It could change your life.
