“I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW!” in Austin TX

This could be the tagline of American culture. We do not seem to possess much patience and this is especially true when we are suffering. Of course, no one wants to hurt, and for some, pain is intolerable. This belief system has led us straight into the opioid crisis, where we have 70,000 deaths a year from opioid overdoses. The majority of these deaths happened after patients were initially prescribed opioids by their medical doctor. So, instant pain relief is not always the best solution. The main rule of all health care is: “First, do no harm.”

We want to help our patients get out of pain as quickly as possible. We also want to get to the cause of the problem, so that we don’t just mask the underlying symptoms. One of the hardest things to communicate is that healing takes time. This is the sixth principle of chiropractic care in Austin TX.

And yet, we are accustomed to seeing “miracles” happen in so many of our patients. It is a common, everyday occurrence. These are usually not overnight miracles, but rather the healing that happens over time.

I am the first to say that I do not cure or heal anyone—your body does the healing. I simply remove the interference to the nervous system so that your body can fully achieve what it is designed for: Healing and adaptation to the world you live in. This innate intelligence is always on the job and working for your highest good. You can count on that!
