Recently a 32 year old lady sought my help for ankle pain that she had been suffering with for roughly 5 years. She had pain on both sides but worse on the right, she couldn't wear heels or stand for long periods of time which was a massive problem as she's a hairdresser!
As a child her right foot had been stood on and about 10 years ago she had also hit it hard on a metal object. Other than that she could not recall any further local twists, fractures or sprains.
On physical examination she had good movement in her foot, ankle, knee and hip joints on both sides; there were no obvious joint restrictions or problems. I then turned to Proprioceptive Deep Tendon Reflex (P-DTR) to give me a neurological understanding of what was going on:
First I checked to see whether her body was going to test normally; it wasn't! We found that scars from previous abdominal surgery were causing her nervous system to go into protective mode, which meant that all of her muscles were testing strong under circumstances that should have made them weak.
Operation scars are the cause of many problems; many receptor cells at the site of scars often still fire telling the brain that there is a problem, long after the tissues in the area have healed. With the lady in question I found pain receptors in the scar that were still firing, so her brain had provided what it thought was an appropriate response; to cause all of her muscles to test strong even when they shouldn't in order to protect her. Using P-DTR I was able to 'reprogramme' these receptors, because there was no current need for her body to protect a scar that has long been healed, enabling a normal muscle to test strong when it should and weak when it should.
Now I could move on to her ankles: At the site where she had been stood on as a child I found more active pain receptors and where she had hit her ankle on the metal I found stretch receptors to be sending faulty signals. Using P-DTR protocol I corrected these receptors. This was the end of session one, she said it felt "strangely better" but the true test would be going back to work...
3 weeks later she was back for her 2nd session: No pain in the right ankle, improved pain in the left but it was still there in the background. This time I wanted to test the muscles of her legs first as I knew she had had no trauma to the left ankle/foot. There were a number of muscles that were weak and some that wouldn't relax in both of her legs, these particular muscles related to the Adrenal glands. Before investigating this further I found a faulty stretch receptor in her left ankle.
A number of tests were performed to see how well her Adrenal glands her functioning; all showing there was a problem. Again using P-DTR protocol I was able to treat the Adrenal problem quickly and efficiently, then re-checked the muscles in her leg and the stretch receptor, all of which were now normal.
She now has no pain in her ankles. With some lifestyle changes her Adrenal glands will recover long term and function normally again.
P-DTR is an extremely effective, pain free treatment that literally changes the way your brain responds to and creates pain. It finds and treats the 'why' which is the most important 'W'!
