More Patients Are Coming to See Me.

April 7, 2021 by Lisa T.

I’m so pleased to be of service and be here for my neighborhood. More people are seeing my sign and finding my website. I’m grateful. I continue to get a plethora of former orthopedic patients who’ve had botched surgery when all they had at the beginning were TIGHT MUSCLES or serious muscle injury from blue collar work or equestrian competition or care not taken seriously. I’ve dealt with more than my share of plates, rods, and screws in people’s backs, […]

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.

Massage therapists, deep tissue workers, manual therapists, and all other types of soft tissue workers know that this is the case. […]

bones are rigid and controllable; muscles are not

July 30, 2019 by Lisa T.

I’ve wondered for twenty years, after having my hands on thousands of patients, why in god’s name the chiropractors and orthopedic doctors and surgeons, mostly men, focus on THE BONE as the cause of pain and pathology in the body and treat the muscles and blood like the geneticists treat junk DNA which is an offensive name to biologists. I’ve stated the anatomical fact on this blog numerous times and that is, bone and disc follow muscle and the other […]
