Hello!
And thank you for reading these blogs! The ideas and concepts are meant to get a person to look a little differently at those things he has been looking at his whole life. This includes health, wellness, and livingness. One need only change his mind and decide. Again, thank you for reading along. This is part one of a two-part blog.
Pain and The Challenges it Brings To The Body As A Whole
All-day long patients come to my office and tell me about their pain and difficulties, and how they want it to go away.
There is a source to one’s pain, difficulties, and suffering. They are usually the result or the consequence of lifestyles and are the “normal” response to a person’s daily activities. Given XY and Z, one would expect PD and Q, right?
If I hit you with a baseball bat, it would cause injury to the tissues of your body, and you would feel a certain amount of pain. See? The pain would be a normal response to the injurious force, and the body will go through a healing process, and finally resolve the injury. Or… at least it should! And this is the problem for most.
Notice I did not say that after a period of time the body will have healed. Time does not heal, although the healing process does take time to resolve the injury. This process to resolution is absolutely vital, and it would include getting the mind to realize the tissue has healed. Do you realize in this instance that the mind might still think the body is suffering from the baseball bat injury? How would that “pain” go away?
If you are interested, drop me a line and I’ll tell you!

I’m interested! Let me know. My hip still isn’t healed since March, but I am taking yoga 2x/wk, weight lifting 2x/wk, and working in the garden the rest of the week. I am showing gratitude to my body. This week was better than last. Am I on the right track??
Hi Jolee,
A lot of what works and what doesn’t work is learned by trial and error. While it would be good to just do this or that and all the pain goes away, what we are looking for is a trend. As you do a few things, do you feel like you are getting better? You will know because you will find yourself being able to do a few more things that you couldn’t do before. Motion and activity should beget more motion and activity.
There will always be a line, so to speak, where your activity and motion is too much and beyond the body’s ability to recover and adapt. At this point, a person is harming themselves.
Basically, you find the most difficult thing YOU CAN DO, and then do it and see how you survived. It might just be squatting down or getting up out of a chair.
We can look at this next time we see you. There are a few other ideas that might help as well and would take to long to get into given this format.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Dr. Dave
Thanks Dr. Dave,
I actually resolved it to mind over matter. If you don’t mind it don’t matter! I Put the pain out of my mind and think about the good things in life they will by far outweigh those little pains i have. So far so good with the shoulder. Hope to see you soon on the upswing!
Jeff
Hey Jeff,
That’s a great plan. Think about what’s right, and not so much on what’s wrong. Suddenly you’ll find a lot more things going your way- including less pain!
Good luck with the shoulder and we’ll see you next time!
