A Diagnosis of Bursitis?

March 26, 2025 by Lisa T.

The pain can also shoot down the front of the thigh via the obturator nerve, which is a branch of the sciatic nerve. Then, the doctor might prescribe cream for it. It’s probably a steroid cream, which is not good for you long term and won’t cure it. Blood flow restored cures it. This image shows the hamstring or femoral attachment instead of the anterior quad, but the function of the bursa is the same. It’s a type of soft […]

Therapy Fatigue

April 11, 2023 by Lisa T.

Finish the course of treatment your therapist suggests to restore your full range of motion. They aren’t to blame if you came in with a very old injury that you didn’t treat or that you let the white coats treat with failed slash and burn. Strwtxhing alone won’t heal it. You need manual therapy. Restoring blood circulation at the joint complex works, but it isn’t always quick.

Bone Injuries Knit. Muscle Injuries Do Not

November 1, 2021 by Lisa T.

Please listen as THIS MYTH needs to be dispelled. I’ve worked on serious muscle injury and trauma in my office for 22 years so you can think I’m wrong on this but I’m right. Patients come in wanting me to correct 30, 20, 15, 10, and 5 year old injuries that continue to hurt them. They accept it as normal until they see my website. I can balance it over about a year or so but you have to do […]

Spinal Alignment Doesn’t Matter

May 12, 2021 by Lisa T.

Tendons attach many muscles across joints, allowing muscle contraction to move the bones across the joint. Muscles generally work in pairs to produce movement: when one muscle flexes (or contracts) the other relaxes, a process known as antagonism. Bone follows muscle. Muscles do not follow bone. It’s an indisputable. biological fact that needs no discussion. By keeping the muscles strong and MEDICALLY taken care of, you also are taking care of the skeletal system. Muscle alignment , tone, and expansion of the muscle via blood flow are what matters for good […]

why is one shoulder or hip higher than the other?

October 9, 2019 by Lisa T.

Answer; because the muscle is shortened and raises up the joint. The muscles control all of your bones and joints and dominate your body. In order to have healthy bones, you have to treat the muscles and deep tissue FIRST. It’s an anatomical fact. That is also why the M.D.’s will tell you that weight-bearing workout, keeping your muscles strong over time is what keeps your bones strong. They don’t say, “Keep your bones strong and your muscles will […]

My bones hurt

October 1, 2019 by Lisa T.

It’s not likely. It’s your soft tissue that is attached to your bones that hurt. It just feels like it’s your bones. What do we know about the bones? Bones have no nerve innervation meaning the nerves are a soft tissue that does not go through bone tissue. What hurts is the soft tissue (muscle, ligament, and tendon and nerve) which is the cause of almost all pain in the body. Since muscle makes up the majority of soft tissue […]

The Root of Pain

August 17, 2019 by Lisa T.

The CNS and PNS Here is the soft tissue system that registers pain to the brain to be interpreted. It’s called your PNS and CNS and is composed of all of your nerves. They are filled with axoplasmic fluid and tiny blood vessels. What tissue do these nerves flow into? The muscles and organs. And the blood constantly flows throughout all of it, never stopping, pumped by the heart. That’s amazing in itself, the skin holds it all in there […]

If the PNS can heal, why not the CNS?

August 16, 2019 by Lisa T.

The PNS is the peripheral nervous system and is beholden to the muscles and the blood to heal due to the fact that the nerves innervate or GO THROUGH your muscles. The muscles and blood rule the body. It is well known, observed, and corroborated by science that the roots and branches of your nerves heal very well after trauma. Axon regeneration in the PNS The articles never give credit to the muscles and blood but there is nothing else […]

My Car is Broken (my body) and the Mechanic (the Dr.) Needs to Fix It.

January 24, 2019 by Lisa T.

The title is not really an accurate analogy but that’s the way most patients think about their body; like a car. When you touch and move your body does it FEEL like a metal, rubber, and plastic car? No. You are not made of metal, rubber, and plastic. Do you run on gasoline? No, You run on blood and air that is fed by Qi, food, and water. Your body is squishy, like soil, clay, or grass, your bones feel […]
