This man helped me avoid back surgery and pain management procedures with something highly effective and zero side effects. I had moderate or higher back pain and nerve pain on the bottom of my right foot. Now I am pain free most of the time, with only an occasional twinge to remind me that pain was once my constant companion.

I see a lot of unnecessary prescriptions and surge

I see a lot of unnecessary prescriptions and surgeries because docs forget that the body isn’t a bunch of unconnected, separated, independent systems.

It’s a complex interconnected system where everything affects everything.

Just yesterday I had a complex foot pain case where a podiatrist suggested surgery and after just 2 acupuncture visits we’ve cleared up the pain. It was coming from the low back. Surgery would have just made it worse. A simple exam to check nerve function along a nerve pathway would have made this clear.

Yesterday I had another patient who’s gone through thousands of dollars of fertility work ups and 1+ year of stress and struggle who told me she is pregnant. She wasn’t ovulating, so I used acupuncture and herbs to normalize her cycle allowing her body to function optimally.

Yesterday I had a patient who had this weird heaviness in her legs and constant aching joint pain. She had seen several neurologists and rheumatologist sand was on multiple medications. Turns out she had surgery when she was in her teens by a dermatologist on the skin in her low back region and her scars sat right in the dermatomes (nerve pathways) of where she was feeling her pain and heavy sensations. So I used a simple nerve reset injection therapy and she texted me last night that her discomfort was gone.

The point of these stories is that it’s really common for problems to get missed when your perspective is so narrowly focused on one specific system.

There’s value in specialists and there’s also a huge problem with them.

The good news is that there are people out there who have a big picture viewpoint (me) and who can also appropriately narrow things down and utilize specialists when necessary.

So look, don’t get so hung up on your diagnosis. What matters is function and describing the problem at every functional level - this is the only way to find actionable interventions that can improve what matters - function.

One of the more common things people come to the clinic and ask me to help with us tight muscles.

The first question I have to figure out is why is the body holding this pattern.

Is it part of the problem?
Is it a protective mechanism?

A common complaint is a tight QL.

Well it could be tight for a reason - like to open up the opposite intervertebral for amen to decrease pressure on a nerve root in a case of stenosis.

My point is tightness isn’t always bad. Sometimes it’s protective and it isn’t going to be the target of our treatment.

The goal is to figure out and attack the root cause of your discomfort. That’s how you get lasting relief.

We’ve been sold a lie that life should be pain f

We’ve been sold a lie that life should be pain free.

It’s normal to have aches and pains, it’s a part of being a human. We wouldn’t have the ability to experience discomfort if there wasn’t a reason for it.

Pain is a warning sign something needs to change. The problem is we ignore it most of the time until things build up enough that it becomes a limiting factor.

The good news is that most of the pain you experience doesn’t mean there is a pathology issue damage. It also means that you probably don’t need an MRI.

You probably need to have a better movement experience.

You probably need some acupuncture 😉.

You probably need to avoid going to a doctor who is going to tell you you’re damaged.

Just remember that your body is resilient and adaptable. You’re going to have ups and downs when it comes to discomfort. You probably don’t need an MRI. It’s highly unlikely you’ll ever need surgery. Stick to non-invasive stuff.

I see this all the time, especially in back pain.

I see this all the time, especially in back pain. I took this concert from Dr. Stuart McGill, PhD - one of the former leading researchers in back pain.

When you have a chronic and constant nagging back pain your muscles work differently than someone who doesn’t have back pain.

So you just keep irritating a tiny problem until it feels like a much bigger issue.

Trust me, I experience this every now and then still.

You have to learn how to manage this muscle imbalance. Otherwise you will overwork some of your back muscles and cause spasms and more discomfort.

The good news is that with some simple tweaks and awareness and some electro-acupuncture, dry needling and maybe Perineural injections - most back pain can be dealt with.

Don’t let backpain limit who you are and what you can do. There are better options out there.
