About
A better way to treat muscles that re-writes our fundamental understanding and treatment of back and body pain.
The source of pain so often attributed to joints and discs is actually coming from your muscles, we just haven’t been treating them correctly.
For example, did you know there is no correlation between discs and back pain? I'm not making this up, this is a conclusion in medical literature. Doctor's all know this, but it’s what we were raised on, and with nothing better to replace it with, it remains the diagnosis of the day, handed out as fact to sound reassuring and alleviate fear.
We have understandably been stuck on disc theory for 3 reasons:
1. The symptoms feel nothing like a muscle.
When your back goes out it feels like anything but a muscle, it feels like a disc is pinching a nerve. The radiating pain, tingling, and your foot going numb feel nothing like a muscle.
How you describe your symptoms has everything to do with how it will be diagnosed.
2. There is no apparent spasm
"In the thousands of patients I have examined through the years I have rarely found the involved muscles to be in spasm." Dr John Sarno, author of the book 'Healing back pain, the mind body connection.' He then concludes that since the hard evidence regarding back pain makes no sense, the pain must therefore be all in your head.
In the vast majority of cases there is no apparent spasm.
3. What else could it be?
It is assumed that muscles heal as a broken bone would. Thus, when pain becomes chronic and fails to resolve with all manner of conservative and muscle therapy - what else could it be?
Dear friends, there is a better way to treat muscles and it solves the mystery of back pain.
Consider your muscles a patch of grass:
You can go over it with a steam roller. Lean on it. Ice it. Heat it. Electrocute it. Cut it. Stretch it. Fertilize it. Pet it. Talk to it. Shine a white light on it. Can we all agree they have a different effect on the grass than if we simply took a leaf rake to it?
Thus, many treatments claim to treat your muscles but they do not have the same effect. They may have the same intention, but they do not have the same effect, and this is why they don’t work on tough cases.
The world of spine medicine is overflowing with experts, gurus and opinions. Why? Because everything works some times. I’m not here to debate anyone’s experience. But what do you do when nothing works? When surgery is thought to be the only remaining option? This is the basis of AMR - fixing when all else has failed.
It's not magic, rather technique and hard work. Results are earned, and in the end we get the holy grail - what doctors have been looking for in examination and tests like discography, the patient exclaiming, "That's it!, That's my problem." My friends, this is a watershed moment in spine medicine.
Here’s our scope of practice:
If your condition is musculoskeletal: what is currently diagnosed as a herniated disc, degenerative joint disease, arthritis, bursitis, stenosis, sciatica, spondylolisthesis, a bone spur, pinched nerve, sprain, strain etc, and you are otherwise healthy, AMR is it - the holy grail. I dare you to find a better treatment. AMR is tapped into a deeper truth.
What I love most about the work is this: if you have to think about whether you’re better or not - you’re not. When you’re fixed you will feel it, you won’t have to think about it.
If your condition is systemic with musculoskeletal effects, AMR does not cure but does give unparalleled relief. ie., fibromyalgia, diabetes.
In fibromyalgia for instance, there is something systemic that is off and makes muscles clump, or fibrose. Treatment gives immense relief, but does not cure the underlying systemic condition that continues to cause muscles to fibrose.
Aside from the benefit to muscles and joints, AMR releases a powerful healing effect throughout the body that is truly amazing.
AMR is life giving and life saving.
AMR is simply sublime.
When it comes to back pain, we'll look back on this period as the dark ages. What were we thinking? And what took so long to figure this out? Hindsight is always 20/20.
Get lessons. Get treated. Get tapped into the deeper truth of back pain.
