As I've said in all of my articles concerning pain, in order to appreciate the origin of the majority of the pain that we experience, we've got to go back to to when we were inside the uterus and when we were infants and when we were just toddlers.
During that time in our lives the component of the central nervous system that was online was a element that was just feeling into our surroundings.
We were just relating directly to the energetics of our environment using this extraordinarily perceptive part of our central nervous system.
As we were doing that we were sensing into the people near us, most notably our father and mother.
Our systems naturally took on the survival patterns that were found in our parent's nervous systems as a result of an instinctual wish to fit in with the herd.
That means that our nervous system makes use of muscle tension to wall off the offending energy, it shuts breath down so that we won't experience the offending energy and it also uses body posture to stretch our spinal cord.
The reason that we modify our posture is to stretch our spinal cord, which effects the nervous system's ability to move energy. So all of these things contribute directly or indirectly to extremity pain.
It's a common mistake to assume that the pain is pin-pointing the location of the problem. But nine times out of ten the main cause of upper extremity pain corresponds to the part of the spine that innervates it.
So the shoulders arms, elbows, wrists and hands are all innervated by the nerve roots that come out of the part of your spine around the base of your neck and upper back.
The tension being stored in the body as a result of the survival patterns in the system create alterations in the structure, which is one reason for the pain.
And if the structure of the upper back and lower back is impacted, there's likely to be a structural impact on the upper extremities.
When we change our body posture to stretch our spinal cord, it stretches the nerve roots that connect to the extremities, affecting the basic physiology of the cells that are down stream of those stretched nerve roots.
In the end our nervous system is holding tension and stretching our spinal cord in order to disconnect from the energy of a hurt, trauma or accident, or number of them experienced over time, that we couldn't assimilate.
The energy that is trapped as a result is always there, waiting for us to connect with it. Pain is often the only way it has to get our attention.
When we pay attention to the pain, there's something there that causes the stuck energy to begin to disintegrate.
