Life of a Female Chiropractor 2
There are certain signs and symptoms that seem to be more prevalent than others at different times. I have been observing this over time in the course of my practice as a female chiropractor.
Upon my daily to weekly reflection, I notice that patients present with a ‘special of the day’. This ‘special of the day’ ends up usually being the ‘special of the week’. Whilst everyone is unique and treated personally, there are similar cases that come in that may not present for weeks to months later.
For example, last week it was hip pain. Hip pain is not lower back pain, nor is it pelvis pain or groin pain. They may be related, but the patient presents with pain in the hip joint proper and possibly surrounding muscles. Usually, these are the physical symptoms and the physical manifestation with an underlying cause.
The power of the mind and how our emotions affect us can be apparent in a case such as hip pain. Hip pain has been linked with a probable cause of fear of moving forward; fear of going ahead with major decisions; fear of nothing to move forward to.
After assessing these people, I found a major common thread in that when I asked them the questions of whether there have been major decisions they have been struggling with, (as stated above) the answer was yes.
It doesn’t always mean that it will be close to the present day of signs and symptoms, it could be accumulating over years.
This happened to me a couple of years ago. There wasn’t just a physical reason for the hip pain, it was an underlying emotional reason that resulted in the pain to alert me. I was grateful for understanding this and for my body speaking to me.
Being aware of these things is the first step in healing. We can assist ourselves in healing when we are aware of what to look for. The body continually speaks to us; it’s up to us to continually listen. The body is like a mirror of our inner beliefs and inner thoughts.
Are you or someone you know having hip pain or a problem with the hip? Perhaps asking yourself if there is something in your life that is holding you back from making a major decision. If not today, then remember this underlying message that may alert you in the future.
