So THIS is where Rick Moranis went!

[SecretTheatre]

I think he's the bastard child of Moranis and Goldblum...

@ReGenFitness I'd like to read the science behind the theory. Is there any? What is the theory that TMS is based upon? Griner's theory is stated above regarding lactic acid trapped in the spindle fibers of the muscles causing an incorrect signal being sent from the feedback nerve endings to the cerebellum. This is based on proven muscle physiology and nervous system understanding that has been proven. How does TMS stimulate the central nervous system?

[ReGenFitness]

@sambking I'm not discrediting his work, I'm just saying that TMS is another option that has shown a great upside for spastic patients. TMS has been used on people with incomplete spinal cord injuries (spasticity is common occurance in this population), as opposed to surface stimulation, TMS stimulates the central nervous system instead of the peripheral in an attempt to correct the electrical impulses causing spasticity. To say that only one method can help with this problem seems short sighted

[sambking]

@ReGenFitness If you read Griner's work you will see that nothing, short of getting the lactic acid out of the spindle fibers, will work to heal a "sick" muscle. Any muscle worker who does not understand muscle physiology will never be able to fix a spastic muscle or a pattern of spastic muscles. Hooking people up to machines to fix muscles spasms does not work. Griner has been working with muscle with just his hands for 40 years. He understands muscle physiology like no one else.

@HonestDiscussioner Well, homepathy is a big fake shit. This stuff should be forbidden, because millions of people think it is real medicine, but it's nothing but placebo. Thats okay with a cold (for some), but hundrets of old and very young people die because of it.

A PhD or MD is a completly different thing than the chiropractic education or a master. As far as I know they are NOT allowed to prescribe medicine in any state

But yeah, they heal and are well educated (most of them).

@LaurenAlexandra711 99,9% of all accupuncturists are NOT medical doctors, because accupuncture is placebo only (1000s studies proof it... it doesn't matter were you put the needles and meridians doesn't exist).

And I would never in my life go to a MD who practises accupuncture, Homeopathy or stuff like this.

[ReGenFitness]

@sambking If the person with spasticity is o.k with experimental treatment, they can try Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (or TMS). This is when a magnetic coil is used to stimulate the motor cortex of the brain which can help to relax the spastic muscles by decreasing the H-reflex of the motor units.

Hope this helps!

@jjhaywood just like those gosh darn dentists, optometrists, psychologist etc who also wasted 8 years to not be "real dr's"

[LaurenAlexandra711]

@jjhaywood to become a chirpractor they have obtained a D.C. (Doctor of Chiropractic) They are considered primary health care providers in Canada and the US. google it.. massage therapists and accupuncturists are much different than chiropractors. an accupuncturist IS a doctor as well, massage therapists are not. its a person's own preference whether they want to put "Dr." in front of their name. it is what it is, regardless of what you call it.

[sambking]

What about spastic muscles stuck in a contracted state?

Do a search for Thomas Griner and then read his work on how spastic muscle or hypertonic muscle creates many, many problems in the body. You will find it under neurosoma. He developed a technique that he has practiced for over 40 years. There is science behind his work as opposed to most all others.

[jjhaywood]

@HonestDiscussioner It's all good to be a healer. My friend just finished 5 years of acupunture and message training in NY, but he dare not put Dr. in front of his name. And still, medical school and chiropractic schools are two different ballgames. Hell, two different sports! I respect chiropractors, I have been helped. And I guess they bestow themselves with that title to venerate the years of training. But still, in our society, at the end of the day, no matter what you say, it is misleading.
