Functional vs Structural - The Genius of Vladimir Janda for Treating Chronic Pain

from The Acupuncture Outsider Podcast · host Dr. Richard Hazel, Doctor of Acupuncture, Licensed Acupuncturist

Most people over 50 have disc bulges and degeneration and are not in pain. 30% of people in their 20s have disc bulges and are not in pain. Janda would say that the disc is being injured by postural issues due to muscle imbalances and also because of dysfunctional movement patterns caused by those Upper and Lower Crossed Syndromes.  Treating a disc bulge only gives temporary relief. The underlying sheering force caused by a short tight psoas or a forward head placement will start to injury adjacent discs and will perpetuate pain.  Fix the Function! Correct the Crossed Patterns and retrain the movement patterns for lasting relief of chronic pain.   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4464797/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3921966/   BLACKFRIDAY20 at Checkout (look for the link to click) for 20% off all Courses and Bundles of Courses on my Podia site.
