Understanding 'Bursitis'. Moving Beyond the Inflammation Misnomer

/
Bursitis is a very common musculoskeletal diagnosis. This ‘inflammatory’ disorder affects the bursae, small sacs filled with fluid that cushion and lubricate the spaces between bones, tendons, muscles, and skin. Yet, despite how common it is, bursitis remains widely misunderstood.
Pain As A Language

Pain As A Language

/
Pain is a symptom. Symptoms are the feedback that the body generates when it faces problems with its delicate internal balance (homeostasis). Without symptoms like pain, thirst, nausea and fevers, it would be very difficult for us to maintain a healthy body in the same way that it would be hard to drive a car safely with no dashboard display.

John is one of those rare gentlemen who has continued to play competitive soccer well into his late 50s. He is in really good shape, which you need to be to play football at that age—good shape except for his left leg. His left leg is not in good condition at all. In fact, once you get to know his left leg a bit better, it becomes apparent that it's miraculous that he's able to run at all,  Let alone the type of running required to play competitive soccer against younger men.

Cupping - Drawing & Eliminating Inflammation

After using intensive cupping therapy to support remedial care of chronic pain patients for nearly 20 years, I feel an incredible weight of responsibility. To help people understand this often overlooked but vital tool in the box of remedial pain management techniques. 

Be Sick Of Your Pain

/
People who have suffered a manageable amount of pain seek relief, while those who have suffered an unmanageable amount of pain seek resolution. Resolution of pain means wishing for it to go away and never come back. Both relief and resolution are possible for most pains. But in order to take a realistic shot at pain resolution, most people need first to make a mind resolution. A resolution to do whatever it takes to reclaim their life, relationships and health from the grip of chronic pain and underlying causes.
Shockwaves, Healing & Hormetic Stress

Shockwaves, Pain Treatment & Hormetic Stress

/
Using hormetic (healthy) stress to heal painful tissues is a crucial element of pain management.. Even for pains that are predominantly nervous system based (like PTSD-associated pain), there is great value in healing and strengthening painful tissues.
The 'Im Fixed' Myth

The ‘I’m Fixed’ Myth

/
Most people stand very little chance of escaping the chronic pain cycle until they fully understand ‘latency’. Because truly healing chronic pain requires ongoing, sincere effort long after symptoms have resolved.
