H1: 3 Tips to Keep Active, Mobile and Free of Pain Meds into Your Golden Years
January 10, 2020 · 10:00-12:00 pm
Description: Doctors are very well-trained to treat symptoms and diseases, but not to address the underlying imbalances that perpetuate illness. So what's the problem? It's like taking the batteries out of a smoke detector instead of trying to find the fire. There is a huge difference between treating symptoms like knee pain and stiffness vs treating the problem causing the symptoms like weakness in the hip which is causing increased stress on the knee joint and causing the knee pain. You can avoid knee and/or hip replacement by better understanding the causes of your pain and treating them accordingly. The human body is very much like a car. It gives you signals, little warnings that something isn't right. It seems like most people do a better job of responding to the signals their car gives them than their body. Symptoms like joint stiffness or back pain are nothing more than signals letting us know that something isn't functioning right. It's our job to address what is causing those problems. Don't let back pain, the #1 reason why people stop playing golf, sideline you from your favorite sport.
