Our mindset is key to how we face any disease. And there are certain elements to mindset that can help with virtually any health challenge. Similarly, there are three very common obstacles to adopting a foundational healing mindset.

Not Knowing Enough

This is the simplest (but not always the easiest) block to rectify when adopting a healing mindset. It entails not having the proper diagnosis with which to align one’s efforts. Finding the right course of treatment takes a combination of a patient’s insights mirrored by the experience of a trusted health care provider.

Let’s take for example someone who wakes up with acute wrist pain. Perhaps it’s carpal tunnel syndrome, a median nerve impingement in the wrist. But it could be thoracic outlet syndrome, a nerve and circulatory obstruction in the shoulder girdle. It might also be cubital syndrome, or ulnar nerve entrapment in the elbow. Each of these diagnoses has differentiating signs and symptoms, and they can be present at the same time.
