Severe Muscle Tension

I have severe muscle tension. I am a 27 year old man that has remained active and eaten relatively well. I've tried Physical Therapy, Chiropractic, Acupuncture, consistent deep tissue massage, ART (active release therapy), yoga, and changed my sleeping positions. My muscle tension in my back and neck is chronic. Who do I need to go see that will be able to see this as a bigger picture case? How do I get better?

Anonymous Patient

Sorry for your pain and frustration. At age 27, this is far to young to blame on what others refer to as "old age." What you're describing is a manifestation of a nutritional deficiency. Take notes for a week in a food journal. Be honest. Any good practitioner will not shame you for dietary choices, because we've all flubbed ourselves. If the Chiropractor or Acupuncturist you previously visited did not discuss nutrition with you, then that was short sighted. Find another near you and get an ARL (Analytical Research Labs, Phoenix AZ) Hair Mineral Analysis. PH, urine, and blood analysis can be done without doctors RX online, if you like. This way, your new Chiro or Acu doctor can start putting your treatment plan together efficiently, so you can get relief sooner!
