Watch how I do a differential diagnosis on a patient with hip pain, often times you rule out what you can diagnostically and you can come to a diagnosis that way. I also rely on my methods to help me diagnose. ====>>>> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRkYVeauxyo

During SI/sacral rehab it is very common to have a back spasm. This can make patients feel like "You hurt me" or "It's not working" If handled correctly I have significantly decreased the amount of patients that get skeptical and quit. I started recording a video in the beginning of rehab warning them about the possibility of this happening so when it happens they don't freak out and quit. This patient had a friend just diagnosed this week with cancer and hosted Thanksgiving. Stress and cleaning are common causes of back spasms. The problem was emotional but the clinician gets blamed by them when it happens. Here was my response to this patient who called all upset. I spoke with Dr. Whelton, and he asked me to reach out to you personally. He mentioned that he discussed with you what likely caused this recent flare-up—mainly a combination of stress and hosting during the holiday, which is something we see very often this time of year. He also shared that this is exactly why he explained potential flare-ups at the start of your rehab and included that information in the video you received, to warn you. Sometimes, during the middle of a program, the nervous system becomes overwhelmed through life events and a temporary spasm can occur. When that happens, the best approach is to let things settle and then return to the exercises gently and pain-free, just as outlined originally. Most importantly, he wants you to know that what happened is not a sign that the rehab isn’t working. It’s a very common bump in the road, and one he anticipated at the very beginning. Clinically, he’s not concerned—he just wants to make sure you feel supported and understand what’s going on. His recommendation is to allow the area to calm down—typically this takes about 1–3 weeks—and then ease back into your exercises once it feels comfortable to do so. We’re here for you through the process, and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions or need reassurance along the way.

I recently treated a patient with persistent neck tension and pain — something I see all the time. She’d already tried everything: 💊 muscle relaxants 💆‍♀️ massage 💥 chiropractic 🏋️‍♂️ traditional PT But here’s the thing — in my experience, the issue is not primarily muscular. It’s neurological.The nervous system controls the muscles. When the nervous system is dysregulated, the muscles stay “on” — constantly guarding, tight, and reactive. So instead of chasing muscles, I target the nervous system. Once that calms, the muscular system naturally relaxes. Ask yourself: “Why does my patient’s neck feel like they’ve been in an MVA… when they haven’t?” For this particular patient, I had her order a grounding pillowcase on Amazon to sleep on (if you haven’t yet, watch The Earthing Movie on YouTube — it explains the science beautifully). Usually, I see around a 30% reduction in neck tension just from grounding interventions…But this patient? No neck pain after one week. 🙌Watch the Earthing Movie here ==>> https://youtu.be/44ddtR0XDVU?si=3RvYbty6obhWFkqY

Back Spasm Season: What I See Every Year and How to Handle It The holiday season is here—and unfortunately, I’ve come to call it “Back Spasm Season.” After treating patients for over 20 years, I’ve noticed that nearly 40% of them experience an acute low-back spasm at some point during this time of year. My first 2 SI patients of the AM today were doing great and both back spasm after the holiday week! Why Does It Happen? Most episodes aren’t caused by a dramatic injury, I find. Instead, they’re triggered by everyday stressors such as: - Increased emotional stress around the holidays - Vacuuming, sweeping, or mopping - Long car rides - Prolonged standing - Plane flights When these patients come in, I often find acute SI joint, sacral torsion/ shear —all commonly associated with protective muscle guarding. What’s Really Going On? In many people (including myself over the years), the nervous system becomes dysregulated, the body goes into a protective spasm, and the surrounding muscles clamp down. This protective response can shift the SI joint or sacrum and create the pain patients feel. Trying to “push through it” or continuing your usual workout routine often makes the situation worse. How I Manage It in the Clinic The way you explain and manage the episode with a patient can completely change the outcome. First, I reassure them that back spasms are common and usually not dangerous when serious red flags are absent. I always screen for: - Progressive weakness or myopathy - Bowel or bladder changes - Saddle anesthesia - Recent trauma - Symptoms that could indicate cauda equina syndrome or other medical emergencies If none of these are present, I explain that their body is in a protective spasm and needs time to settle. What Patients Should Expect A typical back spasm takes 1–3 weeks to calm down in my experience. During that time, the goal is to: - Reduce threat to the nervous system - Allow the protective spasm to ease - Avoid exercise that can prolong the episode - Gradually reintroduce movement once symptoms relieve totally
