Pain is weird….🤨 Just saw a patient who had severe sciatica from a disc extrusion for 1 year… …then was rear ended in a car and within 48 hours his pain was gone…..a year later he is still pain free I say again: Pain is weird 🤷‍♂️

Hint / Thought- if there is a well respected coach in your area have visited them? My visit with Johnnie Parker was 30 years ago and it is still one of my favorites. Get out and meet / learn.

The allostatic model really fits with the "homeosttic emotion" concept of pain from Bud Craig When we have high allostatic load from life, lifestyle & poor health, it doesn't take much of a "spark" to turn a small problem into a bigger one! pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11… 1/2
