Radical Pain Relief Solution

Like most chiropractors people come to me with pain and are motivated by the possibility that their pain will go away. When people ask me if I can help them with their pain, the answer is always yes. However, they must understand that their pain is very connected with the way that they’ve been interacting with themselves and their world. By that I mean the stories they are telling themselves, the way they’re holding themselves, the emotions they’re feeling or not feeling and the actions they’re taking or not taking in relationship to their body and life. So, yes, I can help with the pain and it necessarily means that all of the things I’ve just mentioned have to change too.

Generally people want the pain to go away so that they can resume the life they’ve been trying to live, and therein lies the problem. The pain is their body and life telling them that their life, the way that they’ve been living it, is no longer working; something new is trying to happen. The pain is trying to get them to feel and do and think something new. That’s how change happens.

The old way of feeling and thinking and doing has its own inertia. If we want to create change we’ve got to get some energy into the system so we can create momentum in the new direction. We could grit our teeth and force ourselves to change things--add energy from the outside, in other words--but I find that, often, not very sustainable. We want to make a permanent, sustainable change, and if it could be a little easier that would be nice, too.

Another option is to free up energy that’s maybe not being so efficiently used somewhere else in our body and life; liberate energy from the inside. When the change is more internally motivated, it's more sustainable and more empowering. As it turns out, the pain is a great source of that energy, if not the best source.

The new life that's trying to emerge, no longer needs to bind the tension in our bodies and so that energy is coming to the surface and into our awareness. We often experience that energy as pain. The pain contains all of the energy that’s needed to make a change. The pain is the solution… or rather the solution can be found in the pain.
