THERE ARE TWO APPROACHES TO TREATING CHRONIC PAIN

Healing
Traditional Medical Approaches to Chronic Pain Fall Short.
The pain cycle starts when well-meaning component thinking solutions are applied to treat chronic pain. The alternative path to recovery, one that works far more effectively on chronic conditions is what I call “systems thinking”
The problem with component thinking is that it works best for simple pain issues like strains, tears, or broken bones. You go to your health care practitioner because of pain, they identify the damage and then treat those tissues to help them heal. This healing process is heavily dependent on the body’s natural internal repair process – cut skin may take a few days, torn muscles may take a few weeks, and broken bones may require 6-8 weeks to heal.
We have hundreds of tests and scans in medicine to identify damaged tissues, but zero tests or scans to determine why that damage is happening – Disc, nerve, or joint problems usually don’t simply happen on their own –something you’re doing is creating those issues.
One thing is for sure - if you’re still in pain after three months, you have a system problem.
Low back pain or sciatic pain are two of the most common types of chronic pain. This is because the low back is the most commonly misunderstood area of your body. Low back pain is usually caused by how you walk, sit, or stand. (I share a couple of tests in my back pain masterclass so you can feel this in your own body).
Case in point: A patient came to see me because she had plantar fasciitis in both her feet. Although she came to me about her feet, the real problem was her 15-year chronic back pain. She gave up on fixing it. Years ago, she was a collegiate swimmer at a large university but had to quit due to her back pain. Fifteen years later she was still in so much pain that I couldn’t even finish her exam. Relying on my years of understanding of how the body works, I could see her problem just by watching her walk to my table. I showed her how to change the way she walked and in three days she was 75% better – in both her plantar fasciitis and back pain!
“ I showed her how to change the way she walked and in three days she was 75% better - in both her plantar fasciitis and back pain!”
She wasn’t broken. She simply wasn’t approached from a systems perspective.
