Take Ownership of Your Body

I have a back deformity, spondy. I started experiencing numbness down my legs; couldn’t even stand on one leg to put on pants. I went to an ortho, had diagnostic tests. Ortho informed me my numbness was secondary to the progression of my spondy. Treatment: epidural injection. I said thanks but will try becoming religious w stretching and core. He commended me but said “don’t be discouraged if I’m back in 6 months.” So I went to a chiropractor, did my stretching and mat Pilates. 25 YEARS later I have yet required an epidural injection. So take ownership of your body, and avoid society’s mindset.
