The 5 NeuroMuscuar Laws of Chronic Pain
Law 1 Unilaterality
Law 1 Unilaterality
- Pain will be very localized to just the site of injury.
Law 2 Symmetry
Law 1 Unilaterality
- If not properly treated, the nervous system stimuli will increase causing the pain to persist on the original site of injury and move to the equal and opposite side.
- This is why patients begin to feel their pain traveling to the opposite side.
Law 3 Intensity
- Pain will greatly intensify at the original point of trauma with a lesser pain although still present on the opposite side.
- Now patients begin to feel pain on both sides.
Law 4 Radiation
- Pain will radiate up the body from the original injury site toward the brain and radiate outward and into extremities (arms and legs), causing headaches, migraines, neck pain, shoulder pain, elbow pain, wrist pain and numbness/tingling in fingers
Law 5 Generalization
Law 5 Generalization
- Without proper treatment, every system of the body will become affected:
- Respiratory System
- Cardiovascular System
- Digestive System
- Endocrine System
- Also mental/emotional well-being of the patient.
- This is why patients have now begun to have digestive issues, anxiety, heart palpitations, skin rashes and hormone disorders just to name a few.
Why Chronic Pain Causes So Many Other Symptoms
1 in 5 Americans experience Chronic Pain: Pain every single day for 3 months or longer
100 million Americans are suffering from chronic pain, according to a new study prepared by National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH). Far too many people give up after spending way too much money on countless failed attempts of trying to stop their pain.
The Nervous System is designed to produce normal muscle tonus (nerve impulses that maintain body posture and movement) at 30 stimuli per second. When the body is under stress from either physical or emotional trauma, the nervous system stimuli increases its rate per second. If left untreated, this over stimulus of the nervous system will spread to other areas of the body eventually causing a general contraction of all the major muscles causing a "chronic pain cycle". This would have a profound negative effect on the entire CranioSacral System as well as all the systems of the body such as the digestive system, respiratory system, endocrine system, integumentary system (skin) etc... Think of it as an overload in an electric circuit. This is why millions of people are not only suffering from chronic pain, but are now suffering from symptoms of digestive issues, anxiety, brain fog, depression, heart palpitations, endocrine issues, skin rashes just to name a few.
Bringing the Nervous System stimuli back down through NeuroMuscular and CranioSacral Therapy will reset the Nervous System and “Pull the plug” on your chronic pain cycle.
