Osteopathy helps but doesn’t fix the root of your chronic pain.
That’s why you keep visiting your osteopath.
To be fair, I love osteopaths because they don’t fillet you.
Lance, my osteopath, used to say: “Medication and surgery treat the symptoms—not the cause. The cause of your back pain is the stiff joints and muscles that create inflammation which in turn causes the pain”.
He was 100% right and saved me from surgery a few times.
“But what causes the stiffness in the first place, Lance?”, I would ask.
“Sitting”, he replied. “We’re not made to sit—we’re made to move”.
“OK, I get that, but why isn’t everyone on my floor in pain then? Some sit for longer than I do”.
“Not everyone’s joints and muscles are the same”, he’d reply.
I lived with that explanation for years.
One day I freaked out, “What if Lance dies? Who will treat me then? He’s the only one who’s managed to relieve my back pain”.
Back pain haunted me.
It was a circuit that could randomly switch on and put my life on pause.
It took me over ten years to understand pain but I finally solved the mystery.
