Back and neck pain explained simply
By Dr. Craig Castanet
COMPRESSION! 95 times out of 100, back and neck pain is caused by compression of discs, joints and nerves.
GRAVITY + TIME + PHYSICAL DEMANDS = DEGENERATION = COMPRESSION;
Compression then causes pain and inflammation, SECONDARILY.
Year after year, and decade after decade, your compression increases. And yet conventional treatments IGNORE the cause because they only think short-term about symptom relief. So they treat the consequent pain and inflammation and miss the opportunity and responsibility to affect the cause.
At Backstrong we approach the problem VERY DIFFERENTLY. We reverse compression, and let the pain and inflammation abate, secondarily. This helps your present problem and reverses some of your degenerative changes to give you a better spine for your present problem and your future. Conventional treatments ignore compression and watch your spine progress in its ‘natural history’- which is continued, worse compression.
At Backstrong Clinic we mitigate degeneration and compression to relieve your pain. Sometimes adjunctive, conventional treatments are necessary but we don’t ignore the REAL, underlying cause.
Research shows that discs have regenerative potential when compression is reversed. Reversing compression should be primary treatment for this universal, human malady.
