Suffering from lower back pain and sciatica is stressful enough on its own, as a self employed business owner who has a very physical job and a family to provide for is even worse.
Unfortunately I hear this story all too often on initial consultations, the feeling of helplessness they have after trying the traditional NHS pathway for years which hasn’t been able to provide them with any lower back pain relief, except for living on a cocktail of pain killing medication.
On top of that, the specific client I am referencing here also felt a sense of shame and guilt as his wife and friend weren't able to go on holiday or weekends away without having to tailor things for him. A simple walk along the beach with his wife was impossible, which meant he’d sit on a bench on his own while his wife and dog went for a walk along the beach. A truly harrowing cost of lower back pain and sciatica.
Thankfully we were able to turn things around for him. It wasn't an easy process by any means and he’ll be the first to admit there were times of doubt that it was achievable. Thankfully he trusted the process, our experience and our expertise and stuck with his recommended course of care.
Now he has spent 18 months+ living a pain free life, finally experiencing lower back pain and sciatica relief. He’s able to do things he’d thought he’d never have the opportunity to do again.
Going to work everyday, on his own to do a very physically demanding job without the worry or concern. This means last year he had one of the busiest quarters of career at the fine age of 60.
So much so that he’s made far more than his care plan has actually cost him!!! Yes, hes technically gotten paid to have a healthier, happier back pain free life!
If your concerned about the cost of seeing a chiropractor, osteopath or sports therapist, make sure you consider the cost you are all ready paying due to your lower back pain and sciatica.
He’s able to walk his dog every day around the local common without any issues, and he's able to go away on holiday with his wife and friends and do whatever they please, ensuring he is the husband he wants to be.
Living with lower back pain and sciatica has a far greater effect on your health than simply pain, not only that, it also has an impact on the quality of life of your loved ones.
This is just one example you will hear of the amazing results our clients have when the true root cause of an issue is being addressed.
