Painkillers mask the reason why you have the pain. The symptom is the pain but treating the “pain” is not addressing the root cause.
Narcotic medications don’t actually address the pain at all, they just elevate your mood so you care less about your pain, but you’re still IN the pain..

For this gentleman, the pain was so bad that it affected his ability to straighten and walk. Thankfully, after a combo of some soft tissue work + ANF Therapy, he was able to stand up much straighter and walk much better.

Aren’t these amazing?
We may live in a culture where we can just “pop a pill”, but remember:
- A prescription isn’t always the answer
- To look at the body as a whole, not separate pieces
- To find a therapist that addresses the root cause
Masking the pain is just a band-aid solution.. what we aim for is getting to the root cause and eventually relieving the pain in the long-term
