Have you ever been told "you just have to go thru this to get better " ? or " Sorry - sometimes healing is messy --- Do you have a hyper-reactive response of emotion to chiropractic, massage or physical therapy ? Let me explain in my view what is going on.
While the above statements are well intended I have learned over time these statements are wrong and bad advice. What is really going on and unrecognized by the practitioner is the patient has primed glial cells - let me explain.
Primed glial cells—most notably microglia (the brain's resident immune cells)—are cells that have entered a hyper-reactive, altered baseline state due to an initial inflammatory trigger. While they are not yet fully activated to destroy pathogens, this "priming" event leaves them structurally and genetically modified. If they encounter a secondary, minor immune challenge or stressor, they unleash an exaggerated, prolonged, and destructive pro-inflammatory response.
What I have learned on the practical practice side of this is how to recognize these primed glial cells and how to use our FX Laser over the brain to calm this inflammatory response . This makes our work with adjusting or QNRT ( trauma release ) so much easier for these people . We don't have to say you have to push thru it to heal .
