At our Thanksgiving dinner, our nephew told a joke
He said that his back had been hurting, and he needed to come and get treated. “But,” he said, “knowing you, you’re probably going to tell me that it’s a problem with my earlobe.”
Ha Ha! Farfetched? Maybe…
Recently a patient came in with some back pain that was unusual for her. She said it came “out of the blue” without any provoking incidents. “Nothing out of the ordinary in your life? No new stresses?” I asked. “Nothing,” she said. It just started.
I evaluated her, and found a problem in her facial bones that seemed to relate to her back issues. As I began to do Matrix Repatterning on her cheek she remarked that the area was tender. And the she said: “you know, as you are doing that I’m remembering that before this started I was lying on my back on the floor and looking at my phone, and the phone slipped out of my hand and fell, and hit me right there in my face.”
So I corrected the bone injuries in her head and face, and after I completed the work her back pain was gone and her function was better and more balanced. Then she said: “this reminds me of the time I bonked my head and it made my eyes not track right, and after you fixed my head my eyes were better. It’s amazing what a small head bonk can do.”
That same day…
Right after that a patient came in with an acutely painful knee, something she had never experienced before. As it turned out, there was nothing wrong with the structure or function of her knee. However, she had an old surgical scar on her low back, which turned out to be compressing nerves around her spine and compromising the nerve supply to her knee. Treatment of the scar resolved her knee pain without touching her knee.
The moral of the story
Things are often more complicated than they appear. The cause of many health problems is frequently remote from where we feel the symptoms. And Matrix Repatterning gives us the tools to find the source of problems, and to fix them.
