In 2009, 40 years of movement-based therapy was confirmed as up to 10.85 times better than the conventional back pain approach still in use by most doctors. Effective for both back pain and radicular leg pain – much faster and better for both – in 2,110 the “10X” patients showed big improvements.
You may have heard that back surgery is not usually needed for successful – and fast-relief – of lumbar herniated discs. Nearly 98% of patients won’t need any surgery – even the heavily promoted “laser surgery” – for relief of their problem lumbar spine or pain shooting down the leg blamed on herniated discs.
Fast Diagnosis of Back Pain – a Myth?
This new and successful refinement of the Mckenzie evaluation and treatment paradigm is called “pattern-recognition.”
Mckenzie is a 40-year old system based on identifying the specific syndrome of pain – determined by the movements that aggravate or relieve the lower back or radiating leg pain. Robin Mckenzie called
it improvement when certain movements caused your back pain to “centralize” or moves towards the center of your back or neck. This is often associated with more rapid improvement.
With recognition of a specific pattern, low back pain-relief comes ten times faster. That’s why it’s called “10X” therapy.
In contrast, the usual medical treatment too-often attempts to get the diagnosis or specific cause of the pain. That’s why experts call it a “failed” approach, it typically fails in 80-90% of cases. Especially for the most-common type of back (or neck) pain – “non-specific low back pain.”
No peace of mind that what you have will not likely kill or cripple you.
No fast relief of back (or leg) pain symptoms.
Mckenzie-Trained Experts Do Physical Therapy For Back Pain Differently
This is more than just generic core strengthening or pain-relief modalities that too-many busy therapists or chiropractors rely on. These pattern-specific therapy techniques are up to five – ten times (5X-10X) as effective as the usual back treatment. Hence, the nickname – “10X Therapy.”
This pattern-recognition approach was tested on 2,110 patients in 2008 and reported in 2009, this new back pain syndrome approach – finding your movement aggravation pattern – just works far better. But this system goes beyond Mckenzie – and works better, too.
Wouldn’t you want to get over your back pain “10X” faster and better?
