The Real ROOT CAUSE of Chronic Back Pain (pt.8) - Closing the Gates on Chronic Pain

[@bmb280]

this was an amazing series explaining the science behind back pain. Even as an ATC I now have more information I can explain to my athletes about how/why they may be feeling the way they are. Thanks Dr. Davis!

[@ShapeshiftWellness]

Glad you enjoyed it! We need this information spreading in the healthcare world so I'm glad you're an ATC and can help provide evidence based care to people who need it!

I have watched enough of your videos now, nearly all. From. The last 2 years and have worked out how to apply the four pillars you convey specific to me and I have to say it works. Of all the content on line, you genuinely provide the best east meets West balanced approach. From motion is lotion, to pain does not equal damage, damage does not equal pain, to motion is lotion, green, orange red pain to what that means in the gym your info is genuinely helpful and can be life changing for so many. I recommend along side your content, approach and service, people learn to push from their feet (spread toes and heels when lunging front leg, squatting both feet, and from sitting push through front or both heels if even). This isn't the cure but will assist drastically with the 4 pillars.

*pain doesn't always equal damage, damage doesn't always equal pain*

[@ShapeshiftWellness]

Wow thank you so much, this means a lot to me that this content is helping people get back to a more active life! You nailed it, it's not magic, but it's powerful stuff.

[@sallygray9747]

Excellent videos, thank you. Alot of information but, together, makes a lot of sense. I think there's much here which can help support me to 'close my gates'.

I have been in Cronic low back pain and leg with occasional numbness in my feet for over 2 years. Have done research and read dr, Sarnos books. The only time I experience pain is when standing or walking , but not when working out or exercising. So where is my brain getting it wrong ? I move when exercising, no pain . I stand or walk there is movement now I have pain.

[@jamesroof6150]

Me too. Thanks for sharing. I wish us both success. My key in my journey is recovering from fear

[@ShapeshiftWellness]

This is why we need to take what I call a 4 Pillars approach and look at your life holistically: Exercise, Mental Health, Nutrition, Sleep. This is our specialty and usually when we assess our clients we find some interesting things that have gone un-addressed.

[@VampChris]

I have the same problem. I thought I had plantar fasciitis, and my therapist thought so too. But after 4 years, I finally found out it's sciatica. I can walk for an hour, but if I walk slowly or stand still, the pain in the bottom of my feet comes much quicker. When I sit, exercise, or do anything that doesn't involve walking, I don't feel any pain. I'm trying to do some exercises for lower back, and I hope they help. But this series of chronic pain has definitely helped me understand the connection between the brain and pain. I wish you all the best.🍀

Well, considering all my pain started during a high stress event over 10 months, I'm not shocked

[@JESUSGREATERTHAN]

Does this mean that back pain or even neck pain can be cause by a hidden belief in our minds? Please explain? Thanks

[@arterynosferatu672]

💜️thankyou doctor ,i have mild lumber scoliosis with l4-5 disk bulge, i dont know how pain occurs ??

[@jamesroof6150]

Wish you success in figuring it out and healing🙏

[@AG-nn8lp]

I have 7...yes 7 bulging discs and the pain is tailbone to feet....feet turn red or toes turn blue. I'm told it's not my back per 3 surgeons! Told to see neurologist because it's probably autoimmune. Don't discredit other issues either.

[@luciea7201]

Thank you your videos are always helpful and relatable ❤

[@ShapeshiftWellness]

You are so welcome!

[@blakeloxtercamp]

Great as always!

[@ShapeshiftWellness]

Thanks again!

[@JESUSGREATERTHAN]

I do belief in mind body and soul connection. You can’t do one without the other

[@rccarsandmusic2641]

Stenosis and facet arthritis good luck

[@nsulejma]

I have a problem that sometimes I feel great can even go running, thrn next day just sitting in a chair and getting up gives me pain and it feels like I am going to have another flare up of herniated disc. Could this be reeal pain from previous day of running (I herniated disc 1.5 years ago), or this is my brain telling me you shouldnt have ran yesterday you can hurt your disc again, see

[@edgarask9579]

I have watched several issues but I still don't really understand and am quite skeptical. If I get back pain from standing for 1hr or longer, how can the issue NOT be a muscle imbalance or alignment issue, potentially causing danger to joint integrity or whatever the body is afraid of? And how can it not be a real threat if the body is warning about it with pain?

[@ShapeshiftWellness]

Why does it have to be an "imbalance"? It has nothing to do with symmetry. It's about tissue tolerance, strength, and overall endurance. It's just something that need to be trained. We need to make the whole body stronger and more resilient. It's not dangerous to stand, the body just isn't prepared for that much of it YET.

[@michelefinizio6520]

😊 thank you well said

[@bibbidi_bobbidi_bacons]

Let’s have you re explain this once you’ve been traumatically injured sustaining broken things in your body, permanently disfigured etc… let’s see how cocksure you are after you’ve understood the textbook definition(s) v actual experienced pain. 👌 until then, appreciate ya but ya it’s fugazy bro

[@ShapeshiftWellness]

The advice in this video applies to many people, not every person. It sounds like you've had a rough time, I'm sorry to hear it. This video is part of a series that specifically is talking about chronic pain, NOT about broken bones, fractures, or traumatic injury.
