Don’t chase the pain! Pain is only a signal from your body saying it’s time for a change and it doesn’t tell you exactly where the problem is coming from. You MUST evaluate & uncover the why behind it if you want to find a full resolution to your symptoms. There is no “one size fits all” method to fixing pain/injury and the solution often requires you to treat areas that have no pain at all (but yet are very much so linked to the cause of your symptoms).🤯
Takeaway: start by evaluating and addressing the joint complex above and below the site of pain. Problems in these areas in mobility &/or stability can sometimes be the why behind the symptoms you are feeling.
So if you go to a doctor/Physical therapist/Chiro/Athletic trainer for an injury & they ONLY look at the site of your pain ... you’re at the wrong person.

😎 Disc protrusion completely resolves on its own!

👋🏻 Here's a case report of a 28 year old with severe back and leg pain

📸 MRI November 2018 showed “Large L4/5disc protrusion w severe cord narrowing/ crowding of cauda equina rootlets”....

🕒 7 months later and a new round of imaging

📸 MRI May 2019 showed reabsorption and now pain free! 😱

➡️ This is a great example of conservative Mx & ‘watch & wait’ approach. We don't know exactly what his treatment consisted of, but we know from the research that disc problems resolve on their own

📚 A meta-analysis (Zhong et al 2017) has shown that 2/3 of disc bulges spontaneously «heal» on their own! Many of them within a few months too, not years

❌ This does not mean that no one should ever undergo surgery. Each patient must be managed on an individual basis

🙌🏻 Thanks to Dan Board for bringing this case to our attention.
