The Life Effect
What’s the problem?
There are numerous reasons why people present to see us at the practice.
We are a family practice so we see lots of babies, children, and adults.
In the adult population, common reasons to present include back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines, knee pain, osteoarthritis and other conditions.
Most people see the symptoms or the condition as “the problem.”
Chiropractors search for causes.
As Chiropractors we search for problems called subluxation .
This subluxation is sometimes the CAUSE of the problem.
For example, we develop a subluxation, and it causes back pain, headaches and so on.
But the REAL problem is the “Life Effect”.
The Life Effect.
The Life Effect is the effect of these problems on OUR LIFE.
For example, how does the neck pain, back pain, or headaches effect our life?
It is common for us to hear things like…..
- My back pain means I can’t kick the footy with my 10 year old.
- My headaches means I’m grumpy when teaching at the kindergarten
- I can’t walk to the letterbox and back.
- My libido is low and its affecting my relationship.
- My baby can’t sleep, and this affects my sleep, and his siblings sleep – we’re all grumpy and tired.
- I need medication “X”, and this causes “Y” side effects.
- My toddlers tantrums means we can’t go out to eat together.
- My posture is slumped, and it affects my confidence when socialising.
- My migraines mean I often miss work.
- I can’t go the gym, because of my back pain.
The symptom is not the problem, it’s the effect on our life’s that matter.
