The way the medical world views pain dooms its victims to failure. What’s shocking is that it stems from a lack of linguistic precision.
Think about this example. Your friend is lying in bed, sweating and coughing and complaining of congestion. His temperature is 103 degrees. He feels dizzy and weak and occasionally cold.

There’s a place for pharmaceuticals in any health care system. I recently had a battle with an incredible stomach flu that had me writhing on the floor with fever, headache, and body aches like you wouldn’t believe. A tablet of Tylenol every few hours kept me comfortable enough to get some rest so that I [...]
Pain is something I take very seriously. I have fought with repetitive strain injuries, joint weakness, sports injuries and seemingly inexplicable, crippling, and extremely tiring chronic pain of all kinds since I was 16 when an ocean wave did my back in. I know pain well, and I know that its causes are myriad! From my experiences with pain and my studies of various theories of pain, I can tell you three very important things. Here are the first two:
1. Pain happens for a reason.
2. You can beat it if you can figure out the reason.

STORIES OF SUCCESS
“I have been going to see Matt for chronic back and leg pain. I bought a sleep number bed over 12 years ago to try to help the back pain....I had been to the doctor and he gave me pain killers and anti inflammatory medicine, the pain just kept coming back....Went to the chiropractor often and got relief for a few days at a time.......Went to the massage therapist and got relief for a day or two. I cannot begin to calculate the thousands of dollars I have spent trying to just be normal again.
Then a couple of months ago I went to Matt at Upright Health. I was VERY skeptical, but desperate. The GREAT news is the pain is steadily getting better and I feel huge improvements. Just 6 weeks ago I had to slowly crawl out of bed every day and hope I could stand up without falling over in pain (like I sometimes did). Today I got straight up without the slightest hitch! It just keeps getting better and better!
Really, there is nothing to lose and your whole life to get back. If you are suffering like I was .... GET UP AND GO SEE MATT NOW! Do not think twice just give it a try. ALL YOU HAVE TO LOSE IS YOUR PAIN!”
