It's common to believe that by pushing ahead, we will be able to continue on with our activities and the pain will go away on its own. Even in the cases where this is true, that doesn't always mean the cause of the pain was resolved. This may mean it comes back again and becomes a chronic issue, or that other troubles will arise.

Without knowing the cause of your pain, or finding a treatment for it, you risk the condition becoming worse. When there are gentle and easy treatment options that can improve your pain and the health of your entire body, there is no reason to avoid seeking treatment.
