If I asked you whether you’ve ever suffered from chronic neck, back, or jaw pain, I’d be shocked if that answer was no. Most people have. In fact, chronic back pain is one of the most common reasons people go to the doctor.
Like me, many of you have tried all the go-to remedies like acupuncture, yoga, and stretching, topical CBD oil, massage—I’ve even had a few rounds of dry needling. They all provided varying degrees of temporary relief. (Keyword: temporary.)
Recently, I sat down with Rudy Gerhman, D.C., chiropractic doctor and founder of Physio Logic—an integrated wellness facility that has physical therapy, Pilates, massage therapy, clinical nutrition—to talk about the root cause of my chronic neck and jaw pain and better understand what I can do to reduce it. What I learned was surprising and changed my perspective on tackling chronic pain completely.
