Why Treatments Aren’t Working: Understanding the Root Causes of Ongoing Pain
Many people try different treatments but still suffer from pain, eventually losing hope and thinking that nothing can fix it. If you’re feeling this way, it’s important to understand some key reasons why treatments might not be working:
Symptom Relief Isn’t Treatment
Painkillers and cortisone injections may provide temporary relief, but they don’t address the root cause of your pain. Masking the symptoms can actually worsen the issue over time, as the underlying problem remains untreated.
Not Enough Senior Practitioners
Not all practitioners have the experience to diagnose and treat complex pain issues. Senior chiropractors, like Dr. Pier Tierney at Peak Family Chiropractic, or highly skilled physiotherapists, often possess deeper knowledge but can be harder to book. Sometimes, you may need to schedule appointments about 5 months in advance to access the care you need.
Chronic Pain Needs a Holistic Approach
While chiropractic care is effective for acute pain, chronic pain (lasting more than six weeks) often requires a more holistic approach. This includes addressing various factors like lifestyle, posture, and nutrition to provide lasting relief. Additionally, many treatments are limited to only 15 minutes, meaning most practitioners don’t have enough time to fully address the root cause of your pain.
By understanding these factors, you can take the right steps toward a solution that works. At Rebalance Bodywork Mackay, we aim to go beyond symptom relief and provide long-term, sustainable results.
