Dr. Yvette Edwards explains why painkillers and Bengay only mask back pain without fixing the underlying problem. Her clinic uses consultation, physical exam, and x-rays to find the exact spinal issue, then corrects it and lets your body heal.
Hello everyone, this is Dr. Yvette Edwards here again with you. What I'd like to discuss with you is what actually affects all of us at some point in our lives. And I don't care if you're a chiropractor, if you're a runner, and if— or if you're someone who's just sitting around on the couch all day. All of us at some point in our lives is going to experience back pain. And the reason for that is because whether we like it or not, we're just, we're living. And it could be because of a car accident, it could just be because of running and the muscles or the ligaments slip out of place. And I'm gonna tell you this, a lot of times people think, oh, let me just get— take a painkiller. The painkiller is just going to put like a Band-Aid on the problem rather than fix it. We need to get to the root of the problem. The root of the problem a lot of times in the back pain that you're getting is because there's something not quite right in the spine. Something has shifted out of place. And a lot of times if it's a car accident, it's whiplash. And actually what's happening is there's sometimes there's a tear in the neck area, the muscles or the ligaments are just slipped out of place. A lot of times if you're a runner, you have pulled a muscle. Sometimes it's the lower back and it's not because of any activity you have just done, it's just wear and tear over time. Don't sit at the house and think, oh, it's just going to get better. Let me just put some Bengay on it. The Bengay is just going to numb your brain in thinking that it's okay. And a lot of times when you think you're okay, you're going to try to push past the problem and then create more damage in there. Pick up the phone, come on in, let's see what's going on. What we're going to do is we're going to do a consultation exam and x-rays to see exactly where the problem is. If we can find the problem, there's a more high likelihood that we're going to be able to fix it. But first, we have to be able to find it. We cannot fix anything unless we can find it. So we need to search for it, find it, fix it, and then leave it alone. So that is our principle. It's not to keep forever treating that area if there's not a problem. So come on in, let us see what we need to do to reduce and then get rid of the pain that's there. Thank you. Pain usually takes time to get away. We have to give it time to heal because the body, the whole body is nothing but a healing mechanism, and it can protect and return to its old place if we give it the time that it needs to get to the old place of health. So give us a call. The telephone number is 864-288-2136. Stop sitting there in pain. It's not going to go away with you just sitting there. I promise you we're gonna do the best we can because we only do the best we can for each person who walks in our office. Looking forward to hearing from you so soon. Pick the phone up.
