If so, keep reading. Your symptoms may be the result of an accident, injury, or trauma.
Trauma--injury to living tissue caused by an external force--is something we all face at some point in our lives. Millions of years of evolution have designed our bodies to heal in the face of trauma.
We have an ingenious autonomic nervous system that instantaneously switches on our “fight-or-flight” response in the face of danger; a complex immune system that is primed to seal off injured tissues from healthy ones and heal them; and a brilliantly engineered musculoskeletal system that can absorb and redistribute the tremendous forces to which our bodies are constantly subjected.
But sometimes the process of healing from injury goes powerfully awry. The life-saving “fight or flight” response of the autonomic nervous system fails to turn off. The inflammatory response essential for healing overwhelms the body’s ability to manage it. And the distortions pounded into the musculoskeletal system by trauma can be too great for the body to accommodate. All too often a patient shows up at my office after months or years of suffering, and I find that trauma has shocked their nervous system, fired up their inflammatory response and disrupted their structural integrity. The result can be a host of seemingly unrelated and surprising symptoms, including the list on the first page of this chapter.
But once the patient unravels the journey that catapulted their body into suffering after trauma, their health dramatically improves. I know this because I have helped thousands of suffering patients, and because I have taken this journey myself.
It helps to know that your body is your biggest ally, always working to restore your health. Every moment every cell in your body fights to make you healthy. Every cell constantly throws out the waste products of life and injury. Blood rushing to the cells carries the nutrients of healing so your body continuously rebuilds itself.
