Basketball Player Lower Back Pain/Stiffness – Lower Metal Dental Retainer

This just never gets old.

It amazes me how resilient the human body really is. With all the things we are exposed to, or do to our bodies that create a neurological problem, we are still walking around.

The power difference before and after on Alex was unbelievable.

Alex is a basketball player that came to me initially about 9 months ago for back pain. He wasn’t getting any help, so like always, I took a different approach.

I started to test his body for neurological weakness. By watching the video you might think I am checking him for muscle STRENGTH, but this really isn’ the case.

I am testing to see how resilient his body is, and whether the nervous system is properly coordinating the muscles and joints.

I initially found the weaknesses and helped him correct them months ago. Within a few days he was drastically different, with virtually no pain.

However, if he works really hard, he still gets some stiffness. Many people would simply chalk that up to the “usual” muscle soreness. I had different ideas though.

I tested him a little deeper and found more weaknesses. Sure enough….

A permanent wire dental retainer was the culprit.

I honestly could not believe how much power he had once he put pressure on the retainer (altering the input to the brain). Before the camera was on, he actually sent me a few steps backward before I caught my balance.

So the question becomes…

Do YOU want to have your body switched on and working at full power??

Note: I never tell patients to get their permanent wire dental retainers removed. I show them what is happening to their neuromuscular system before and after stimulation to the retainer. They make their own decisions. And if they do choose to get them removed, I always tell them to wear the plastic retainers at night to preserve their orthodontic investment. All three of my children had braces as well!
