When i was doing my under-graduation, i suffered a injury in my left side- lower back. The physician and my college principal assumed i had suffered from multifidus strain. PTs told me to have some rest and do some exercise- which i promptly forget to do after the third day- when my back pain had gone.
Later on the back pain slowly developed into a sticky issue with many flair-ups in the last 25 years. I dont have constant back pain- but episodes of pain- which is mostly self limiting. I have tried all sorts of sensible treatments including some pharmacological interventions also. But i dont seem to be getting better- with no lessening of the recurrence.
yesterday, with my back acting up i was in a irate mood and then it happened. My pen fell down under the table and i bent down and picked it up. when i came up i bumped and hit my head on the desk.
well to my surprise my back pain had complete gone. I was surprised and i did not know what to make out of it. Well as my reader know i am a closed minded idiot who always thinks we need a scientific rationale for medicine. Well i searched and asked all my friends- no one was able to come up with a good answer. some even suggested i was just pulling there leg- suggesting that i was lying. well i got irate and told them to "go to hell"- as i know what has happened to me.
Then i opened my mind-i came across this theory- my CSF flow may be restricted leading to pain in the back and neck The theory was written by a renowned myotracopathy researcher. I also noted that it is possible to move my cranial suture and "make the csf flow properly". ooo i was stuck- how come i have never heard of this scientific revelations before? I was angry with my teachers who did not teach me these.
Well long story short- i think when i bumped my head my cranial sutures were naturally manipulated to the "normal position" and the csf started to move in its right rhythm.
If students and clinicians want to practice this wonderful method they should learn from masters and genius in our profession-who are certified instructors and not from quacks.
with bliss
