| Too many Chiropractors just crunch your bones and then send you off to the physiotherapy machines. Ultrasound, Electric Stim, Vibrators and all the other lazy machines don't do a thing to make you better. They might make you feel better for a few hours but in the end they don't cure your problem AND you pay plenty for the time you waste with them. They don't heal anything.
Medical Doctors are not trained to recognize and treat muscle pain. Muscles cause pain. Different muscles cause different pains. It takes special training to know what pain is caused by what muscles. Since my earliest days in school I was receiving special training in treating muscle problems. |

When we went to work for a chiropractor in Perth, this guy was just pushing the bones around and then connecting EVERY patient to a shortwave diathermy machine so that he could charge them extra money. Some of the machines didn't even work. He want on vacation and I shoved the diathermy machines into the storage room. I treated the patients with some pretty primitive muscle work and they got better and better. They were sending their friends in to be treated and the clinic was busier than ever before. When the chiropractor came back he became jealous and I quit soon after. This proved to me the value of good muscle work and since then we've perfected our methods and discovered the best muscle treatments on the planet. |  |
The two muscle techniques that work the best are Trigger Point Release Techniques and Deep Dry Needling.
Both techniques get at the heart of muscle problems: the spasm, shortening and fibrosing that happens to a damaged muscle. Trigger point Release Techniques break up fiberous adhesions that can form between muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Deep Dry Needling gets into the muscle itself to breakup adhesions inside the muscle, relaxes the muscle and relieves spasm. |

| How do muscles go bad? The answer is that they go into spasm (constantly tight) and don't let go.
In the low back they spasm because of stress and damage to the disc. In the shoulders and neck it can be because of holding the muscles in a ridged contraction over a period of hous and doing it for days. Examples of this are working at a computer, driving and desk work in general. In each case the muscle is held in a partly contracted state over time. |

It only takes a 60% contracture of the muscles to completely stop the flow of blood in the muscle. Blood carries food and oxygen to the muscles.
Take way food and oxygen and parts of the muscle start to die off and get replaced by fibrotic tissue. Fibrotic tissue is just cheap filler that holds the muscle in contracture. It shortens the muscle. With the fibrotic material holding the muscle tighter and tighter, blood flow drecreses and more fibrotic tissue is formed. The muscle gets worse and worse, shorter and more painful. That is how a muscle becomes damaged. |
