My wellness team, who they are, and what they do.
For over a year I had been dealing with a shoulder injury and then shortly thereafter a severe injury to my piriformis muscle. My personal preference is alternative medicine when and however possible. Two doctors wanted me to have shoulder surgery. Others wanted to prescribe pain meds. Knowing that I am very active both were really not an option for me plus meds would just mask my pain and in my mind leave me vulnerable to further injury. So on my adventure for information and help to do things my way. I did do many missteps along the way. I tried practitioners that caused more damage than repair. So I just kept researching and looking to find the right solutions. In the back of my mind, I could remember when my mom had a stroke. The doctor told me he was going to put together a team. That team saved her life. Thankfully my injury was not life-threatening but I thought to myself. I need a team, hence “My Wellness Team.” So worth the literal pain of waiting and searching. I hope sharing these four professionals will help you now or in the future.
