Age old question when it comes to pain. Dr. Justin and I break it down to the most simplistic form for you to know which and when. Ice better on acute (just happened) injuries and best for joints Heat better on muscles (moist heat is better so add a moist towel if you have a dry heating pad) Heat before activity and ice after. Sometimes going back and forth is the answer. And sometimes nothing is best But it’s not one size fits all and everyone is different However, the answers are in this episo...

Oh my goodness This is a lifesaver for inflammation and disc herniation pain and other pains. You have been asking me for some super simple practical things to do. Here is one of my favorites Inflammation is the enemy. Not the disc. I’ll keep preaching that over and over until you get that. Lol Handling inflammation can happen in a variety of ways. One of the ways is getting your body to use fat for energy. Known as ketosis (a video on another day) the body is in a place to make massive amounts ...

We have googled 1000’s of exercises and supplements and therapies to handle our pain but have we missed the foundation? Inflammation is the enemy of your healing but there are multiple ways and angles to go to war with inflammation. My time with clients has shown me that almost none of them are handling it correctly and therefore are not healing. Do you know what it is even? Do you know the multiple kinds and how to harness them? What are the physical and emotional and chemical stressors driving...

Most people focus on getting rid of their pain as fast as they can in whatever way they can. Most of those ways don’t fix the cause or the foundation. And then these poor folks are usually left to suffer again in the future. The human body is amazing, and it has the ability to heal. But healing also comes with a price. Pain. Have you ever watched a football game or sporting event where an athlete’s lower leg snaps? You don’t even want to watch the replay because it makes your stomach churn. That...

Most people who have a bulge or herniation in their intervertebral discs are told and therefore believe that the disc is the problem. Their doctor or therapist or friends even tell them that the piece of disc tissue is the issue, and they should therefore have it removed or do whatever it takes to fix it. I say that’s not true and not only is it not true it is preventing massive of amounts of people from healing and getting out of pain. How do I know? Simple. Dr. John Sarno MD in his book Healin...

We have all either been in pain or know someone close to us in intense pain. We want to help but we make the horrible mistake of telling them “it’s going to be ok”. Intense pain actually activates a part of the brain that gets that person in an intense amount of focus to the present. Almost to the point where they can’t see beyond the moment. While we are trying to be supportive, we are actually hurting their healing. It’s better to say something like “it’s ok that you are in pain now”. “It’s ok...

One of the mistakes I see people make is that they want so desperately to feel better they do the work in the wrong order or they skip steps. When the spine is injured you have to understand it’s a serious trauma and needs to be addressed accordingly and done in the right order. Example: If the spine is stuck you can’t do Physical Therapy and win long term. Not as the first step. Learn about micromotion first. Then handling inflammation. And on and on. A to Z has to be done in the right order!...

Dr. Derek began working with Stem Cell Therapy in his clinic in 2010. He was very intrigued with this new technology of Genetic Healing for Pain and Healing. Stem Cells are simply young cells with no receptors on them. In particular mesenchymal stem cell. No receptors on them means they have not differentiated into a particular tissue of the body and therefore can become anything. We have stem cells from the day we are born. As children we have 1 stem cell for every 10,000 cells we have. As we a...
