In today's day and age, we want everything to be instant. We don't want to wait for anything. The phones we carry around in our pockets are the main culprit. Need to find a restaurant? Hop on TripAdvisor. Need to settle an argument? A quick Google search will solve it. Need fashion advice from your stylist friend? Hop on Facetime, and she can give you pointers immediately. Need a ride? An Uber will be waiting for you. We have fast food, and Uber eats, so we don't have to be bothered to cook or even leave our houses for food anymore. We're spoiled, and even entitled when it comes to our time. However, when it comes to health and healing, things haven't caught up with the times. Although medicine has come a very long way, nothing is instant. The magic pill hasn't been invented yet. Things like back pain seem to last forever, and there's not an app on our phone to get rid of it. Our best option is to go to the chiropractor. Getting an adjustment from our chiropractor is often the quickest, safest way to get relief from your back pain.
