NAIOMT's "Ten Rules for Treating Low Back Pain"

[Mr Hip Guy]

So this is one of those "Matrix" or "Neo" moments where you can see the Matrix-code all around what this article is saying, I mean they are practically dancing around TMS theory here, but the article refuses to acknowledge that there might be something else going on.

(this link below is an Ultra-running website's article on the NAIOMT study)

Some choice quotes:

"Low-back pain is often not a serious, life-threatening medical condition.
Most acute episodes of low-back pain improve on their own."

"Imaging does not correlate to low-back pain or dysfunction, and often induces fear from the frightening descriptors."

(emphasis mine)

"Even the most severe pain can occur with otherwise perfect anatomy due to either mechanical, neurological, or ‘central’ (spinal cord or brain) causes."

(they are really dancing here, listing all those possibilities but nothing about mental/emotional possibilities)

"Chronic-pain research, much of it coming from the Neuro Orthopaedic Institute, shows a strong relationship between ‘anatomical bad news’ and poor outcomes in chronic pain."

" Chemical stress from inflammatory processes can cause and perpetuate pain. Such chemical stressors can have both physical and psychological origins."

(again, emphasis mine. they really are just about to touch on it here)

"Lastly, we return to the holistic approach. Regional interdependence refers to the interconnectedness of our system. All body systems are not only connected structurally, but also connected in efficient function. Cliché as it is, ‘it’s all connected’ is a hugely important concept in most pain, but nowhere is this truer than in the lumbar spine because it receives input from all directions–the spine above (including the head and neck), the pelvis and legs below, and even the abdomen (including viscera) in front."

(this was a promising paragraph - especially when it's considered "holistic" or "including the head" but unfortunately the author devolves right back into physical modalities to solve the problem)
