Thank you for sharing
Thank you for this group. Do you work with neurological symptoms following diagnosis of lumbar L3, L4, L5 herniation? Patient denies pain but has weakness in bilateral LE.

Great MD has already ruled everything out. I’m interested in your clinical courses. Thank you

💡 A Different Way to Think About Neck Tension & Pain
I recently treated a patient with persistent neck tension and pain — something I see all the time. She’d already tried everything: 💊 muscle relaxants 💆‍♀️ massage 💥 chiropractic 🏋️‍♂️ traditional PT But here’s the thing — in my experience, the issue is not primarily muscular. It’s neurological.The nervous system controls the muscles. When the nervous system is dysregulated, the muscles stay “on” — constantly guarding, tight, and reactive. So instead of chasing muscles, I target the nervous system. Once that calms, the muscular system naturally relaxes. Ask yourself: “Why does my patient’s neck feel like they’ve been in an MVA… when they haven’t?” For this particular patient, I had her order a grounding pillowcase on Amazon to sleep on (if you haven’t yet, watch The Earthing Movie on YouTube — it explains the science beautifully). Usually, I see around a 30% reduction in neck tension just from grounding interventions…But this patient? No neck pain after one week. 🙌Watch the Earthing Movie here ==>> https://youtu.be/44ddtR0XDVU?si=3RvYbty6obhWFkqY

I will look into this for sure. Does this work with lumbar symptoms of nerve root irritation, allodynia, clonus, and chronic weakness following L3,4,5 disc herniation with no actual pain experienced ever.
