Real Change Takes Time

welcome Dr Ryan alter your Del re Beach
chiropractor I just had an interesting
experience with a patient here a patient
who’s never been to a chiropractor and I
sat down and did a consultation and
found out this person has a five six
year history of lower back pain neck
pain he’s a a 51-year-old bodybuilder
really beat himself up and finally it
seemed like came in here to to get
things figured out and I sat I did a
consult and I explained to him that
these are signs and symptoms that
there’s something going wrong and and my
job is to figure out what the something
wrong is and the next step would be a
careful evaluation and then we’re going
to take a set of X-rays to see the
underlining condition of the spine and
see what we’re up against to see if
there’s any permanent damage and then I
took a break had him empty his pockets I
went and saw a patient or two and then I
came back and the girls came and told me
the patient left the patient left and
said I’ve got a lot to think about and
shuffled out of here and I had no idea
he was going to leave but my thought is
he thought he was coming in here to get
his problem fixed and when he heard that
I’m going to take some x-rays that I’m
going to go over a plan with them
tomorrow that it was going to take some
time okay he had to think about it and
so the real question is how do people
come up with this concept you have a
back problem for five years you’re 51
years old H how long do you think it’s
going to take to change and correct and
fix a back problem at 51 years old this
is a bodybuilder so he understands how
long it would take to change the body
how long does it take to change the body
if you wanted to lose a bunch of weight
how long does that actually take what
does it
entail changing the body takes
consistency over time and if you’ve had
a problem for five
years what is it going to take do you
want to get a lot better well it’s
probably going to take a lot of work how
long have you had this a long time well
it’s probably going to take some time to
get better it’s almost common sense I’m
startled that people don’t understand
that but the lesson for this is that if
you want to make real change to your
body whether it’s your health whether
it’s your spine whether it’s your teeth
if you want to make a real change to
your body it’s going to take some time
so be prepared that’s the reality
whether you like it or not we’re here in
Del re we’re here to help you and
everyone you know feel your best
