Hot Low Backs and Advanced BioStructural Correction™ 3 days and gone Max says Dr. Gremaud

Here are a set of posts from a new ABC™ practitioners and responses from experienced ABC™ practitioners:

Has anyone attempted ABC™ on an acute/hot low back/disc?
Did you still do the entire protocol or just the Meningeal Releases?
Since there is inflammation there, would you just do MRs only?
and what were the results....???

I tried ABC™ on someone today. My first hot disc/low back doing ABC™
on. They did end up walking and standing better but it was difficult getting the protocol done because of their pain at the beginning.

Here's the deal...Do I wait for the inflammation to go down on any
problems before doing ABC™ or do I just do the entire protocol?
What is the best approach to something like this again??? flex/distract the
low back and ice first then ABC™? no ABC™, just ice and flex/distract,
then do ABC™ another day? I want to know what's worked for ANY OF YOU.

thanks,
Brian

Answers from experienced ABC™ practitioners:

Many applications to hot low backs.
Always difficulty getting to the best position in the beginning because they are swollen and in pain, so you get to the best position you can get to do the releases and do your best.

AFTER you do the best you can with the ABC™ protocol the swelling goes down fastest. Therefore, YOU NEVER WAIT FOR THE SWELLING TO GO DOWN, but treat and then wait a few hours for some swelling to go down and treat again 2 or 3 times a day if possible.

That is what works phenomenally well and gets the patients just about out of pain within a day or two.

Swelling only persists because of the misalignment and stretching of the tissues. Fix the best possible, swelling goes down a bit and fix more etc. as best you can.

Brian,
   You can have them leave their knees flexed while doing anterior lumbars if need be.....
also, if they are real bad, you can have them straddle the narrow end of the table [on mine, they can rest their feet on the armrests, facing the head end of the table].
   If you don't have a table with a narrower end, you can just have them sit on the end of the table, legs hanging off and do the lumbars that way. If they are in real bad shape, you can have an assistant help bring their knees back with them as you roll them back onto your properly placed fist.
   Each time you run them through the protocol, they should see/feel/ notice improvement in pain level, function/ movement, and ability to stand up straighter.
   Have them go outside and walk around (making sure their shoes are reasonably flat)and come back in awhile.
   Within 3 days (at the most) most of these people will love you. If it takes longer than that call Dr. Jutkowitz, and get your application of ABC™ checked.
