What’s stopping us?

I am a proud aunt of four beautiful kids and three of which are who I get to spend the most of my time with. The eldest is 9 years young, the middle is 6, and the youngest is 3. Regardless, these kids are at the peak of their play age, and I always find time to engage them in physical activities, myself included.

While I enjoy it, I can’t deny the fact that my shoulder pain bothers me. Carrying my three-year-old nephew out of bed is how we start our day and while I love doing it, I can’t hold him long enough as my shoulder starts to feel tight and stiff. Days go by and the pain starts to worsen that even carrying a light cross body bag aggravates the pain. That, sadly, limits my range of motion. I can only imagine their unhappy faces when I request for a time-out in the middle of the game we’re playing. “Tita, you’re only 28 but your shoulder pain is three decades older,” my niece teases.

Come June 2021, I am hired as a Chiropractic Assistant to Active Family Chiropractic and Wellness Centre and little did I know, that opportunity is a blessing in disguise. The Chiropractors make sure every member of the team is in good health thus everyone has their regular adjustments, and I cannot put into words how chiropractic care helped me with my shoulder problem. Gone are the days where my movements are limited due to shoulder pain thus giving me more strength and more freedom to play with the kids and to engage them with off-screen activities.

Most importantly, chiropractic care is an eye opener for me as it gave me a better understanding of how a simple habit can affect my overall health. For example, prolonged period of leaning forward when using a phone does not only result to a bad posture but it may also affect the part of my spine that houses the nerves connecting many important body functions. From my naïve understating of “back cracking as an answer to a back problem” to “chiropractic care as an important tool for wellness” – this ultimately changed my perspective towards health and wellbeing. I now see Chiropractic care as a way to reestablish our body’s innate ability to function properly, thus achieving optimal health.

Having said so, I would like to go back to the question I have in the opening of this blog – what’s stopping us? What’s stopping us to revisit our wellness goals? What’s stopping us to see a chiropractor and improve our health?

One day I am chasing the kids in the park and pushing them in the swing. Next thing I know they’re growing taller and taller until they’re no longer kids and I can only look back to their younger days and how they see their aunt as their favorite playdate.

Let no shoulder pain nor back pain stop us from achieving quality life, from unlocking quality time – thanks to chiropractic care!
