It is said that St. Valentine chose to suffer death rather than renounce his religious principles. Stories of suffering are common throughout history and one could say that St Valentine was a wise man, brave and heroic for sacrificing everything in the name of his belief. Perhaps stories such as this have left the impression on us that suffering is brave and heroic, which may explain why so many of us choose to live our lives in pain or discomfort.
The truth is that we are meant to live to our fullest potential, which should not include pain and suffering.
I believe that we were each born to fulfill a specific purpose and suffering with back pain can be one of the biggest distractions from that purpose as it affects our entire well-being. There is nothing romantic or heroic about continuing to suffer from any type of pain (be it physical, emotional or spiritual) when there is someone compassionately willing and able to help.
It is my heartfelt intent to facilitate your body in eliminating pain. To connect with you in such a way that you understand your value and continue to take care of your spine and nervous system. Don't be a martyr. Don't suffer needlessly. Take responsibility for your health and by doing so, your first step on the path to wellness. Until our next adjustment...
Yours in health,
Dr. Heidi & The InnerMovement Wellness Team
