One Leg Short: The Biggest Root of Spine Problems

short-legHaving one leg short does serious damage to you and billions of people around the world without anyone knowing they have one leg short. They just feel the pain.

Billions of people around the world have one leg shorter than the other from ¼ inch (5 mm) to ½ inch (10 mm), sometimes even more. Are we born this way, or is it simply that one leg stops growing at one point with the rest of the body? Well, while we are growing, we do not feel anything different. Everything feels normal. Those who are ½ inch (10 mm) short can walk with one short leg for a maximum of 10 years, sometimes less. And in those 10 years they probably have done serious damage on their knee, hip, lower back, and the spine, which is curved and tilting either left or right side of the body. It is easy to see one of the shoulders always hanging lower or to be sure measure their legs. That is the simplest way to find out the person has one leg short for his/her spine problems.

Those who are ¼ inch (5 mm) short, they can definitely go between 20 and 30 years and maybe a little longer but definitely with a lot of pain and spine problems. No one in this world people who have one leg short can avoid the spine problems. It’s simply impossible.

None of them is really aware of it. Everything feels normal and good. They are young and strong and busy with their life like education or work. So none of them is thinking or probably knows they have one leg short. Until one day they start to feel the first sharp pain. It can be in their ankle, knee, hip, or lower back. Again, none of them really pays much attention to the problem. In the beginning the pain is coming and going most of the time. And this is body’s natural reaction when something is not right but do they understand the signal the body is giving them?

But again everything feels normal so their life is all good. Some of them in their 20s start to feel the agony and the pain in their back because many of them are skinny and physically weak with less muscle but very strong because of their strong tendon. They are always the first ones who feel the pain. A second type of people comprise those who are short and chubby where the spine is short and always being compressed. It doesn’t take a long time for them to be in trouble and feel the serious pain in their body. The third type of people, who carry excessive amount of weight, are the ones paying the biggest price. They are the ones who collapse and damage the discs faster than anybody else, especially those who are ½ inch (10 mm) short on either right or left leg.

Let me explain the first disaster to those who are ½ inch (10 mm) short on either right or left leg.

From the ages of 20 to 30, in the next 10 years of their lives, billions of people start tilting and leaning more and more on the shorter side of the leg, either right or left, putting all the pressure on the knee, the hip, especially the lower back. And every year bit by bit they are tilting more and more to the shorter side and are pressurizing the disc flatter on one side, slowly but surely. The first trouble always starts with stretching the muscles and the tendons on one side; at the same time, on the shorter side the muscles and the tendons always get stiff and tight and start pulling slowly the spine out of the center and the bones out of alignment.

This is where the serious damage on the disc is now in process. The more muscles and tendons are getting stiff and tight, the more pressure is on the disc. So it is only a matter of time before they start pinching the nerves. The moment they pinch the nerves, the muscles and the tendons get stiffer and tighter, and the serious damage is done to the disc. Some of the discs in the neck are already flat and being damaged because of the pressure for so many years and tilting to one side. And the same thing is happening as well in the upper back where the upper back has more pressure because of their own body weight and tilting to one side. This is where they start slowly developing one or more bulging disc without knowing it. But in the lower back this is where the serious pressure and the damage is done on the discs from L1 to L5. It is always L3, L4, and L5 the discs get seriously damaged. This is where people end up having a flat disc, bulging disc, or the worst a slipped disc. This means that the discs are damaged and can’t hold up the spine any longer and that’s why they collapse and start pressurizing most of the nerves in the lower back, and the sciatic nerves give every single person so much pain where they can’t sit, bend, or walk. It’s simply the worst and most horrible pain anyone can deal with. All of them are in so much pain, so now they will look for any kind of help they can get.

The next thing is definitely, for sure, all of them running to see a doctor, chiropractor, acupuncturist, massage therapist, or anyone who can help them. They will try every possible treatment when they reach that point.

First, the question is when they see the doctor, does he/she know the root of the problem of the patient having one leg short? As usual, the medical doctor will prescribe the medication to help the patients kill the pain. In the end, medication is not the real solution to anyone having one leg short. But it helps to get by with the pain one day at a time and still doesn’t do any good to the major spine problem like bones, nerves, and the damaged disc, especially the organs. Actually, the organs and the brain are the ones that take the most serious toxin damage from the medication. Everyone knows that’s not healthy at all.

Next, they are running to see the chiropractor because their back, hip, and probably knee are really killing them. And the pain is just increasing more and more in different parts of their body. The same question is to the chiropractor. Is he/she aware that the patient has one leg short? Maybe so or maybe not. The chiropractor does what he/she is best at realigning the bones back to its right place and gives everyone a brief relief. But when they leave the chiropractor’s office and start walking back to their car, what happens is that after taking a few steps, the whole lower back and the spine go out of alignment again because they are still limping and tilting to the same side. It only takes a few steps and they are back to square one exactly where they were before. So they can see the chiropractor as many times as they want, but it’ll be never-ending visits with no results but only disappointments and still back to the same pain and the agony. Back to square one again.

They realize seeing the chiropractor doing the same thing over and over is a brief relief but not the right solution either. Now the pain is getting worse and the body is getting stiffer and tighter because all of them have a serious pressure and more pain on their lower back and the rest of the body. Now they have more difficulty standing on their feet.

What’s next? They’re probably thinking now to get some deep hand massage because the muscles and the tendons on most of their bodies are so stiff and tight. After so many years, believe me all of them have developed so many muscle and tendon knots.  They are the worst to deal with. But it’s definitely good to go and have a deep hand massage.

Massage makes you feel relaxed and comfortable on the table. But anyone who tried any kind of massage they know for fact that when they get up from the table, nothing much has changed. It only feels good for a short time. After that, all of them are back to the same problem and pain, back to square one again. Probably after many sessions of a deep hand massage, nothing much has changed because hand massage can do very little to this major spine problem. It’s very difficult for a therapist to go deep down and reach the serious problem of stiff muscles and the tight tendons with their bare hands only. In the end, the massage therapist has tried his/her best. All this good hand massage and money they spent come to another sad disappointment for all of them.

Every one of them is simply so irritated, confused, frustrated, angry, depressed, definitely stressed out, extremely negative, and still very uncomfortable, and all of them automatically produce more acid in their body, which destroys all the good cells and makes the whole situation even worse. They simply run out of energy; at the same time, the immune defense is getting weaker and weaker. Their sugar level goes down because people use all their body sugar to keep up with the pain.

This is where all of them start craving sweets like chocolate, ice cream, cakes, and even sweet drinks. This kind of sugar intake is harmful to the body in the long run where they simply put more weight on their body and get even lazier. On top of that, they still pressurize the nerves where the organs are getting tighter and closing more on them and the organs produce fewer healthy cells. And again, because of so much pain, they still pump their weak and damaged body up with more strong medication. No wonder everybody in this horrible situation is coming to a point to give up.

But at the same time, the pain just increases more and more because they pinch the nerves so much, they develop a lot of water pressure in different parts of the spinal cord, simply where they pressurize the nerves. The water makes the bone softer when the water stays on the same spot too long; after that the water becomes jelly and in the end it’s getting crystallized. When the water gets crystallized, this is where the pressure on top of the nerves and the spinal cord 24/7, literally none of them has peace. The pain increases way over the limit and the organs close more on them, getting weak, cells die, and starting to develop bad cells inside the organ, which can lead to cancer. This is probably why we have so many people with different organ cancers in the world.

So all of them are still thinking what now? Since the medication and other treatment did not help at all, they are all still willing to try something else and different. Now they hope the acupuncture treatment might be the right option to try, to relieve the pain. But in this situation they are in, the acupuncture treatment can do very little about this major spine problem. But people are still willing to try.

Remember, there is no one to blame — doctors or any therapists. They simply do not know anything about people’s one-leg-short problem and what actually is involved.

Trying one single treatment at a time like massage, chiropractic, or acupuncture, or medication is not going to give anyone any good or positive results but only a short and brief relief, which is not enough. What needs to be done is to put the whole treatment together, including the fitness and healthy diet as the way I’ve done it and that will be the cure. And remember the most important thing is every single patient with one leg short needs to be leveled first before the treatment. That is the life insurance for all of them for the rest of their life, where they do not have to see me, any doctors, or therapists again.

So being ½ inch (10 mm) short is a pure hell for billions of people around the world. But this can be changed.

Back and Neck Pain – Diagnoses for People Who Work in an Office

So, now you’ve heard about my adventures from one country to another; one innovation to another. The reason I wrote this book is because God told me to do so. Altogether God pushed me three times to write this book. The reason is because God wants people to better understand those who suffer from spine problems. This is why I want to lay out what I am best at. Let me say this straightforward: This book is not an advertisement for my treatment. Instead, its purpose is to let each and every person recognize and understand his or her spine problems; and in so doing to let people know that there is a simple, natural cure for their spine problems, not just treating the symptoms by medications or surgery. Surgery would be the last option to consider when the bones have already grown together or if a disc on the spine is damaged for good.

Office Back Pain

This is exactly what happens to people who sit in an office for many years or most of their lives. Sitting in the same position and being in a cold air-conditioned room is not healthy at all. This actually destroys people’s bodies slowly. But millions of people do this every day. And it has a serious consequence in the long run.

This is what most people in the office suffer from:

Many of them suffer from neck, upper back, shoulder, arm, and serious lower back problems, and stiff legs.

This is what actually happens to most of them.

Here’s my explanation.

Sitting in the same position day in and day out is not healthy at all. On top of that, sitting in the cold air-conditioned room just makes it much worse. Why? Sitting in the cold air-conditioned room makes everybody literally freezing. That is the reason why your muscles get stiff, tendons get tight, and the blood circulation gets in trouble. Because stiff muscles and tight tendons all the way down to your lower back start pressurizing your whole spine, the pain always starts from your neck and travels further to your upper back, ending up down to your lower back. What happens when you start having serious neck pain?

Let’s have a clear picture of the neck problem.

When your muscles and tendons get too stiff and tight in your neck, first you start pressurizing the disc. But you can only pressurize the disc 50% without any problem, because your disc in your neck is only 3- to 5-mm thick, depending on how long of the neck you have. The moment you pinch the nerves in the neck just one millimeter, you muscle gets stiff and tendon gets tight. And immediately, the body water starts swelling up around the pinched nerves and on top of the spinal cord because of the pain.

Now you will have a bigger problem with bending your head and turning the neck from side to side. The stiffer and tighter your muscles and tendons become, the more you pressurize the whole neck down. And again your muscle and tendon get even stiffer and tighter; at the same time, more water pressure is on your pinched nerves and on top of the spinal cord. This is how it goes step by step until you pressurize the discs all the way down. This is how you end up having a total flat disc, a bulging disc, or worst-case scenario slipped disc because your neck is so compressed together. Pinching the nerves is pure hell for anyone.

This is what happens when you pinch the nerves in your neck.

We have seven bones in our neck and the associated nerves.

When you pinch the nerve C1, you are in trouble with your balance which also can lead to headaches.

When you pinch the nerve C2, it affects your vision. You cannot see clearly, your vision gets blurry, and your eyes may water. For some people, the eyes get dry and itchy.

When you pinch the nerve C3, it affects your nose for breathing and your ears may develop a very annoying ringing sound. No wonder why many people have nose, throat, and ear infection.

When you pinch the nerve C4, it affects your jaw, teeth, and the tongue and you may have a problem pronouncing words clearly.

When you pinch the nerve C5, it affects your thyroid, which may cause people to lose control over their body weight. And because the organ is getting tight and locked, this may lead to thyroid cancer.

When you pinch the nerve C6, it affects your food pipe. When you pinch the nerve, the food pipe gets slowly tighter, which sometimes makes it difficult to swallow food.

When you pinch the nerve C7, it may affect the air pipe in your throat, which makes you cough more. It is a dry irritating cough.

The nerves No. C5, 6, and 7 all together control the movement of the inner arms all the way down to your fingers. When any of these nerves are pinched, you start feeling your fingers getting numb, tingling, and stiff. But the problem never stops in one place. It always travels further down. This is the body’s natural chain reaction, which we have no control. And that is the reason why the pain and the problems do not stop in the neck. It goes further down to your upper back.

The sad and confusing part of this is that you have no clue how many nerves are being pinched in your neck. Also, you don’t know the water pressure is being developed on top of your spinal cord. You feel helpless not knowing why you have so much pain. At the same time, people tend to get easily irritated, angry, and totally stressed out because of the unbearable pain. That’s why people would rather be left alone.

But the biggest question is who can remove the water pressure from your neck. As long as the water pressure stays in your neck, you literally go nowhere with your neck problem. What actually is going to happen to you is when the body water stays there too long in your neck, the water makes your bone softer, you start collapsing more and automatically pressurizing and damaging the discs, and your neck bones start slowly growing together. Now you are really damaging the discs and pinching the nerves to the limit. On top of that, the immune defense is pumping way more water on top of your spinal cord and in between the bones.

This is exactly how it goes to the next step in the upper back.

Now you realize stiff muscle, tight tendon, flat disc, pinched nerves, and the water pressure on top of your nerves and the spinal cord is the worst pressure anyone can have and deal with.

Let me explain how the body water accumulates on top of your pinched nerves and the spinal cord.

Let me give you a clear picture why we develop the body water. When you burn yourself on a hot stove, you have a blister with full of water immediately. Anybody can see that. When someone has an infected tooth, it’s very painful. What happens next? The face starts swelling up. Anyone can see that as well. When someone sprains the ankle, in a split second, the ankle swells up and is fully loaded with water to protect you. People feel the pressure and the pain, and they are not able to walk. What happens when someone injures the knee? It’s exactly the same thing. It swells up and is fully loaded with water. Nobody is able to walk before the water disappears from the knee or the ankle. And it can take a long time before the water disappears on its own. If the water doesn’t disappear and stays there too long, the water is no longer fluid and it becomes like a soft gel. That takes even much longer time to heal, especially if remains untreated.

The body water is our immune defense to protect you when you injure yourself or when you have pain. As soon as the pain is there, automatically the body water starts swelling up around the area where you feel the pain. Now everybody can see the swelling with full of water on the ankle, the knee, and the swollen face. But nobody can see the water swelling up when we pinch the nerves on our spine. Nobody knows and nobody pays attention, and nobody knows how to remove it from the nerves and on top of the spinal cord in the medical world.

When the thin, fluid body water has been there too long in the same place, it is changing thicker and getting first like a jelly and then crystallized because of the constant pressure. That pressure and the pain increase much more. And now you are in pure hell with your neck. Your neck gets stiffer and more locked. And you have serious problems bending your neck up and down and from side to side.

Now the same problem starts in your upper back.

Stiff muscles, tight tendons, pressurizing the discs, pinching the nerves, and the body water swelling up around the pinched nerves between your bones and on top of the spinal cord. And this is absolutely the worst pain anybody can deal with. Pinched nerves and the water pressure on the spinal cord have a seriously negative impact on the organs.

Let me give you a clear explanation why the organs get in trouble.

When you pinch one single nerve, 4 major things in your body get out of balance.

  • Your muscles get very stiff.
  • Your tendons get very tight and your spine gets more compressed exactly where you pinch the nerves on your spine.
  • The body water swells up around the pinched nerves and on top of the spinal cord.
  • The worst is the organ gets tightened up and slowly closing up on you. Immediately, our immune defense starts pumping the body water inside the organ to avoid the organ closing up on you. That’s the reason why you feel like you are about to explode because the organ is full of water and full of pressure. That’s why you have a serious pain. This is exactly the same pain when you sprain your ankle or damage the knee.

Our immune defense always pumps the water and swells up where there is pain inside and outside of the body.

Now the problem is if you still keep pressurizing and pinching the nerves, the organs will close more up on you and produce fewer cells. If the body water stays too long inside the organ, the body water is getting thicker and in the long run the organ is getting weak and is not able to produce healthy cells or push the cells out. Obviously, the cells are stuck inside the organ. Eventually, the cells will die, go bad, and then get rotten. Probably in the beginning you end up having a huge infection inside the organ. And the worst-case scenario people end up developing the cancer inside the organ. That is why so many people die of organ cancer today.

When the organ starts getting tight and slowly closes up and becomes too weak to function, this is exactly what needs to be done immediately: (1) Always open up all the stiff muscles, tight tendons, and get the blood circulation run freely, (2) Remove the body water, or the crystallized water pressure from the nerves and on top of the spinal cord, (3) Realign the whole spine from the neck and all the down to your lower back with chiropractic and my air hammer so all the nerves on the spine are totally free from the pressure, and (4) Activate all the nerves which were pinched from both sides of the central nervous system with electro acupuncture stimulation, and that’s the only way I can activate and save the organ so that the organ can produce healthy cells again.

The biggest problem and my fear has always been when people come to me too late and some of the bones on the spine have already grown together. When this happens, it’s too late and there’s nothing much I can do. Now we know for a fact, which way it goes with any organs if the nerves are pinched for good or especially if they have been pinched for a long period of time. That’s exactly the reason why millions of people suffer and pay a huge price in the end because nobody knows anything about the water pressure on the nerves and on top of the spine. On top of that, nobody has a full treatment in one go as complete unit to balance the body back in a natural way with zero medication.

Let’s go further with your upper back.

People who suffer from upper back, it always starts with the muscles and tendons getting so stiff and tight. They start compressing the spine even further and start pressurizing the disc even more. This is exactly how everyone starts developing a bulging disc. Or, the worst-case scenario, many people end up damaging the disc for good or having a slipped disc, especially if they are overweight. When the disc is getting seriously flat and damaged, it can’t hold your spine up any longer. Now you are pressurizing the nerves and pinching them seriously. At this point, no one is able to take the pain. It is so horrible you can’t sit, bend, or do any kind of work. This kind of pain can drive people insane.

What happens next?

 Let me give you a simple explanation when you start pinching the nerve in the upper back and which organ is getting affected from T1 to T12.

  •  T1 to T4 nerves – are connected to and control the lungs and the bronchitis. But when you pinch these four nerves, the lungs and bronchitis get tight. You are short of oxygen and produce more mucus. On top of that, these pinched nerves also are in control of women’s breasts. As always, everyone gets stiff muscle and tight tendon between the shoulder blades, shoulders, and all the way to the outer part of the arms, which every single person starts to develop muscle and tendon knots.
  • T5 nerve – is connected to and controls the heart. If you continuously pressurize the nerve T5, your heart muscle definitely tightens up on you and you start having heart pain because the heart muscle is getting tight. If this continues for an extended period of time, people will end up having a weak pumping heart. That is why many people are on heart medication.
  • T6 nerve – is connected to and controls the pancreas, which produces the body’s sugar, white cells for immune defense, and the insulin. When you pinch that nerve seriously the pancreas can go out of control, so people start craving a lot of sweets and end up becoming diabetics.
  • T7 nerve – is connected to and controls the spleen, which produces red cells for energy. When you pinch that nerve, people simply run out of energy, get very tired and emotional, and do not feel like doing anything. At this point deep depression is on its way.
  • T8 nerve – is connected to and controls the gallbladder. When this nerve is pinched for a long period of time, this small organ is getting tight and may malfunction. And we end up having “gallstones” inside the organ and eventually having to have the organ removed.
  •  T9 nerve – is connected to and controls the liver and our liver is a body’s garbage can for toxins, rejected bad cells, and all the body waste. When you pinch that nerve for a long period of time, the liver starts to close and tighten up and is not able to destroy the body waste. In this case, the immune defense starts pumping the body water into the liver to destroy and release the waste and bad cells. If the immune defense is too weak, all the waste stays in the liver. This is where people start having liver disease, liver infection, or the worst-case scenario liver cancer.
  • T10 nerve – is connected to and controls the stomach. When you seriously pinch the stomach nerve, people end up having a stomach pain for a short or long period of time.
  • T11 nerve – is connected to and controls the adrenal glands. When you pinch that nerve, the hormone gets out of balance. You tend to get emotional easily and may cry a lot, especially the women.
  • T12 nerve – is connected to and controls the kidney. When you pinch that nerve, the kidney gets tightened up on you and has a problem cleansing the blood. And many people end up having kidney stones.

Now let me explain the last part of the lower back spine problem, when pinching the nerves from L1 to L5.

  • L1 and L2 nerves – are connected to all the muscles and tendons in front of the whole leg and all the way down to the toes. When you pinch these nerves, your leg in the front gets tight and stiff and feels heavy. You have a problem walking and standing up for a long period of time.
  • L2 nerve – is also connected to and controls the small intestine. When you pinch that nerve, the organ gets tightened up on you. Your digestion is getting out of control, and you have a problem digesting the food. It is not unnatural for your intestine to get bloated.
  • L3 nerve – is connected to and controls the large intestine and appendix. When you pinch that nerve, the large intestine slowly and surely tightens up on you and that’s the start of having constipation. And many people end up having serious intestinal problems and definitely full of gas. And they have problem going to the toilet regularly.
  • L4 nerve – is connected to and controls the bladder. When the nerve is pinched, the bladder is closing up on you. And you have to urinate more often. The water pressure and the bladder getting too tight is the reason why all of them start leaking urine.
  • L5 nerve – is connected to and controls the ovaries and vagina for the women and testicles and penis for the men. When that nerve is pinched, many people suffer and have a serious problem with their sensitive area. This always causes sexual problems, and sometimes women have problems conceiving. Worst of all, when you pinch the nerves L3, 4, and 5, they affect the sciatic nerves from the lower back and all the way down behind the leg, calves, and your foot. This is one of the biggest and most horrible pains for anyone. This pain you feel is not funny at all.

Let’s have a clear picture of this whole situation.

People who work in the office most of their lives, they eventually all suffer with a lot of pain from stiff muscle, tight tendon, pressurizing the spine, damaging the disc, pinching the nerves, developing the water pressure around the nerves and on top of the spine, and problems with the organs.

Can we balance the body back to normal function again? 

Absolutely. This is how I have done it for the past 35 years with my own natural way.

Excerpt from DOC PETKOVSKI – THE TRUE STORY OF MY LIFE AND THE GIFT GOD GAVE ME THAT ENABLED ME TO CURE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH SPINAL CORD INJURIES, BACK PAIN, WHIPLASH AND ONE SHORT LEG

Understanding Whiplash

Whiplash

Every year in the U.S., one-million unlucky people sustain whiplash. They get it in a split second. The occurrence of whiplash is even greater around the world. Normally, we can bend our neck only 45 degrees, front and back. But in a car accident, they bend and stretch their neck muscles and tendons almost 90 degrees, front and back. Some break their neck bones. Or even worse, they damage the spinal cord or pressurize it because the neck bones were moved by such tremendous force forward. At the time of the impact, they don’t feel the pain from stretched neck muscles and tendons. A few days or weeks later, depending on the impact and how bad it was, pure hell and intolerable pain are on the way. But for some it’s much worse after the impact. They simply can’t move their necks at all. They are the ones who really suffer with serious whiplash.

Whiplash caused from a car accident can be one of the worst injuries people can suffer in the neck, upper back, lower back, and all the way down to their legs. Nobody is prepared for it. People are simply tired, other drivers don’t pay attention, somebody drives way too fast, or some ignore the red light. So in a split second there is a collision. It is always worse for the car who hits you from behind or from the side, but normally both drivers are in trouble including other passengers in the car. And it all depends on how fast he or she is driving at the time of accident. People can have minor accidents, more severe ones, or wrecks where they need immediate medical care. They are the ones in the worst situation.

So when the accident happens, both drivers’ necks have gone 90 degrees, front and back in a blink of an eye. This is way too much stretching of the bones, the muscles, and the tendons from their normal positions. The power of the impact instantly pressurizes the discs in between the neck bones, and some people might end up having a slipped or damaged disc. Plus, all the neck nerves are taking solid pressure in a split of second. Sometimes, a person can snap a tendon in their neck or tear the neck muscle as well. The worst-case scenario is broken neck bones or damage to the spinal cord for life. It all depends on how physically strong the person is. The stronger the person is, the better off at impact they are. If the person is weak, especially the women, they are the ones who pay a huge price and have serious neck damage.

If the neck bone is moved forward, it pressurizes the discs, nerves, and the spinal cord because of such impact by force. This is where the person immediately feels unable to move the neck at all. The neck is getting very stiff, tight, and locked.

What happens to your neck three to four days or a week after the accident?

Well, since you have stretched your muscles and tendons so much, they slowly but surely tighten up on you. This is why your entire neck starts getting compressed even more. As long as your neck disc can take the pressure, you are good to go and do not feel the pain. But when your discs are getting flat, and they are not able to hold your neck up any longer, this is where you start pinching and pressurizing your neck nerves to the limit.

Explanation about the discs in our neck

The discs in our neck are only somewhere close to a quarter of an inch or 3 to 5 mm in thickness, depending on how short or long of a neck you have. It doesn’t take a long time to compress them, especially when all the neck muscle gets stiff and the tendon gets tight. That’s the reason why the disc starts getting pressurized and getting seriously flattened. Now you can only pressurize the neck disc maximum 50%, after that you seriously start pinching the nerves. The moment you pinch the nerves in the neck, this is where your whole neck muscle and the tendon get even stiffer and tighter. Then immediately, our immune defense, the body water starts swelling up around the pinched nerves in between the neck bones and on top of the spinal cord.

All of your muscles and tendons in your neck—front, back, and on both sides — are getting stiff and tight and locking all your movements. And at this moment you have way more pressure on your nerves. That’s the reason why the body water in between your neck bones is fully loaded and develops more pressure on top of your spinal cord. If the pressure on the neck disc stays there too long, this is where many people end up having a bulging, damaged, or slipped disc.

Now you are in pain. And I mean serious pain.

To be honest, anyone who is in this situation can go mentally insane in a short time. This is what serious whiplash does to everyone.

You probably recognize all the following problems.

You feel like your brain is shrinking and closing up on you, which slowly affects your balance. You are dizzy, have a headache, and run out of energy. Your eyes are dry and heavy because it’s also affecting your vision, and you may have difficulty seeing clearly. Your ears start making an annoying ringing sound, and it is getting louder and stronger. Your jaws are getting tight, and you have problems chewing food. You feel sometimes you can’t pronounce the words, which means affecting your speech. You start to have problems in your thyroid and have difficulty swallowing the food down. People start breathing more through their mouth instead of nose. And that’s why they start coughing a lot. This is exactly what happens when people have serious neck problems.

Allow me to repeat the important information from Chapter 23 by again offering a crystal-clear explanation of what happens when you pinch the nerves from C1 to C7 in your neck and how they affect you.

We have seven bones in our neck and the associated nerves.  This is what happens when you pinch the nerves in your neck.

When you pinch the nerve C1, you are in trouble with your balance, which also can lead to headaches.

When you pinch the nerve C2, it affects your vision. You cannot see clearly, your vision gets blurry, and your eyes may get watery. For some people, the eyes get dry and itchy.

When you pinch the nerve C3, it affects your nose for breathing and your ears may develop a very annoying ringing sound. No wonder why many people have nose, throat, and ear infection.

When you pinch the nerve C4, it affects your jaw, teeth, and the tongue, and you may have a problem pronouncing words clearly.

When you pinch the nerve C5, it affects your thyroid, which may cause people to lose control over their body weight. And because the organ is getting tight and locked, this may lead to thyroid cancer.

When you pinch the nerve C6, it affects your food pipe. When you pinch the nerve, the food pipe slowly gets tighter, which sometimes makes it difficult to swallow food.

When you pinch the nerve C7, it may affect the air pipe in your throat, which makes you cough more. It is a dry irritating cough.

The nerves C5, 6, and 7 altogether control the movement of the inner arms all the way down to your fingers. When any of these nerves are pinched, you start feeling your fingers getting numb, tingling, and stiff. But the problem never stops there. It always travels further down. This is the body’s natural chain reaction, which we have no control at all. And that is the reason why the pain and the problems do not stop only in the neck. It goes further down to your upper back.

Right now, you simply want to be left alone and the only thing you want to do is to lie in bed. The pain is simply too much for anyone who is in this horrible and painful situation.

What do you do next?

I guess you are doing the same thing like everybody else taking quite a lot of medication and running around from one treatment to another with very little results. Or even worse, using a cold ice pack to kill the pain for a short time. But the cold ice pack is not the right solution.
