The 5 R Framework for Gut Restoration

Posted on November 4, 2019May 23, 2021 by The Movement Paradigm

All Disease Starts in the Gut

Oftentimes, we think of stomach pains, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea when we think of “gut problems.” But, did you know that “gut problems” can disguise themselves as pain, brain fog, the inability to lose weight, anxiety, psoriasis, autoimmune disease, cancer, heart disease, and even Parkinson’s, MS, and Alzheimer’s (just to name a few). As Hippocrates once said, “All disease starts in the gut.”

How to Understand and Eliminate Low Back Pain (Part 3)

Posted on September 17, 2019May 23, 2021 by The Movement Paradigm

Part Three of a Three Part Series

In the last blog, we talked about how low back pain is managed in the US. Today, we are going to discuss evidence-based and practice-based measures of effective low back treatment. The evidence shows us that there are specific criteria to indicate which treatment is best.

Why acute low back pain becomes chronic?

As mentioned before in part 1 and part 2 articles of this low back pain series, because most back pain in the US is mismanaged, the time it takes for someone to get the best treatment is prolonged. Imaging is typically unnecessary and prolongs the period of time that you are experiencing pain, which ultimately can contribute to a sense of hopelessness and chronic pain, otherwise known as chronic sensitization of the nervous system.

Once you have acute low back pain, you naturally become fearful of having it again. So, you change your movement, activities, and even thoughts and emotions. Pain is simply information. It is a signal. Are you moving well? Too much? Not enough? Eating highly processed foods? Drinking too much alcohol?

Appropriate for a manipulation?

For acute low back pain, spinal manipulation is appropriate if :

1. the duration of the current episode is 16 or less,

2. there are no below the knee,

3. the FABQ (Fear avoidance belief questionnaire) is less than 19,

4. they do not have more than one hypomobile segment in their spine,

5. and they have adequate hip internal rotation (>35 degrees)
