Persistent Pain

It’s just not going away, is it?

Are you still struggling to get in and out of the car?

Does sharp, throbbing pain in your lower back make it hard to stand upright?

Do you make extra efforts not to limp… even though you want to because of the numbness in your foot?

Sometimes you can’t, though… it can feel like an extra sock is balled up inside your shoe!

How long has it been?

Weeks? Months? YEARS??

And it’s not like you haven’t tried to get better!

The pills… the physical therapy… the “modified duty” at work… the MRIs…

They can be dreadful. If you’re like most people, you’ve already suffered a fair amount of anxiety, boredom, or embarrassment from this persistent pain.

And it gets darker. The prospect of spine surgery or permanent disability makes you feel like you’re in prison – like a big dark cloud of doom overshadows the bright future you always expected.

You might even be wondering, “What crime did I commit to deserve this?”

One of the cruelest things about chronic pain…

… is that others can’t see how much pain you feel.

Your spouse is trying, but their patience is just about gone.

Your boss is probably thinking about replacing you.

Even your doctor seems… sad for you.

Not good!

The healthcare system has failed you…

… NOT the other way around.

The system desperately tries to find the single cause of the problem that would be easy to fix (and sell for profit). Way too often, that just doesn’t work.

And when they do this, they’re ignoring the most underappreciated anatomical system of your body: the connective tissue (aka “myofascial”) system.

It’s what connects, supports, and protects all the many organs and systems of your entire body – left to right, front to back, and head to toe. It literally connects the spine and all your nerves, muscles, and joints together.

Restrictions in one area of your body can create immense physical pressure on sensitive nerves and joints in other distant areas.

Restrictions are created naturally by your body to protect itself when there is physical trauma, emotional stress, injury, surgery, repetitive strain, or poor posture. If the restrictions are not later released, they tighten more and more over time.

This causes pain and dysfunction at the cellular, anatomic, and systemic levels, affecting your entire body.
