Most acupuncturists can treat pain. But the pain comes back. We need to stop obsessing about disc bulges and MRIs and start looking at the actual mechanical problem that is leading to pain. Fix what's tight then strengthen what's inhibited and then retrain the movement pattern. Janda already did the hard work and most are just ignoring it and treating the site of pain.     Online Courses: https://richardhazel.podia.com BLACKFRIDAY20 at checkout for 20% off until the end of the year.    

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.
