Hi Jess. Again thank you for challenging my posts, I find it refreshing.
The majority of information that I spoke of in this post comes form Osteopathic Medicine. For information regarding biomechanics and osteopathy I will refer you to Fred Mitchell and Harrison Fryette. There are many others, but I believe this is a good start.
Regarding a disc herniation repairing, are you to say that it is not possible? If the body can overcome Cancer, can it not repair a herniated disc? The body has an amazing ability to heal itself, which can see on a daily basis. Remember homeostasis? Unfortunately Western Medicine has partially forgotten this concept. Anyway...
The disc herniation... I have been privileged to work with many people suffering from disc herniations, and of them all there are two that stick out in my head because fortunately for us they had both pre- and post-treatmentMRI imaging. The results were undeniable and life changing. The doctors were amazed, the patients themselves were amazed and yes, even I was amazed.
Every now and then something comes along in your life that takes everything you thought you knew and throws it out the window. They were beautiful experiences to live through as they completely expanded and deepened my understanding of the human body.
Thanks Jess, looking forward to your reply.
