How I Discovered My Digging Technique
For Chronic Tension Headaches

Back in 1991, a colleague called me up and said, "Hey, there's this medical guy coming in from California who's having a one-day program on chronic pain.

"Do you want to go?"

Of course I said yes (I'm always interested in learning new ways to help my patients).

So I go to this one-day program, and it was held by a chiropractor.

But he wasn't a typical chiropractor because he didn't manipulate any of his patients the way most chiropractors do.

You know, the back twisting, the vertebrae cracking? Well, he didn't do any of that anymore.

He'd been specializing on people with low back pain for years. And what he'd found was that they virtually all had scarred-down, dysfunctional muscle tissue in their low back.

He also found that this dysfunctional muscle tissue was at the root of their back pain.

His solution? He'd just unmercifully jam his thumbs into those tissues and "dig" into them, to loosen them up and increase blood flow.

It's not a very pleasant technique to experience - I know because I was on the receiving end of it at the seminar...but his results were phenomenal.

So phenomenal that he had orthopedic surgeons and pain management physicians from all over Southern California referring patients to him.

He had all of us at the seminar practice this "digging" technique on each other.

And toward the end of the seminar, he said, "You know, we've been concentrating on the low back, but you can use this technique on any body part you want.

"You can even use it on people with whiplash and tension headaches."

My ears perked up when he said that because a lot of my patients suffered from neck pain and chronic tension headaches.

And it just so happened that my own neck was tight - it's always a little tight because I do a lot of long-distance cycling - so I asked him to "dig" it out.

I'll tell you what, when he worked on my neck, I thought his thumb would come right out through the other side...it was just so painful.

But...when he was done...it felt like my head was floating.

And my neck was completely loose for the first time in ages!

My First Chronic Tension
Headache Success Story

The following Monday after the seminar, I went back to work and my first patient was this woman. She was a new patient who'd had a headache for three years.

Her headache never went away. The only time she felt relief was when she took medication and passed out.

And she was on the verge of taking enough medication so she wouldn't wake up again.

So I dug out her neck, shoulders and upper back. And after three treatments, she was down to about 70 or 80 percent of her medication.

After six treatments she was almost pain-free.

And in 12 treatments she walked out of my office without a headache.

She was totally, completely normal - not a bit of scar tissue or tension in her neck at all.

Just Like This Woman, Your Chronic Tension Headaches Are Probably From Muscle Tension

If you're like most people with chronic tension headaches, you've got really tight neck, shoulder and upper back muscles.

Just like my patient who was on the verge of taking her own life.

And most likely, your tightness is from working all day in lousy posture.

Maybe you stoop over a drill press. Maybe you hunch over a computer terminal. Maybe you're a secretary or executive on the phone all day.

The bottom line is that while you do these jobs, your back's stretched out, your shoulders are rolled in and your head's jutted out.

And when you get home, you probably continue practicing this poor posture by curling up in front of the T.V., or sitting hunched over in your easy chair.

If you're like most people, you even continue this poor posture when you go to bed because you sleep in the fetal position.

When you're caught in this cycle, you've trained your muscles to adapt to this abnormal positioning.

This is what causes your tightness. It's a sign that these muscles are under tremendous stress.

But it Gets Worse Because...

The continual strain on your neck, shoulders and upper back causes muscle fibers to tear. Your body tries to prevent this tearing by forcing the muscles to knot up, or spasm.

But despite these spasms, some tearing occurs anyway because of the continual strain.

Over time, these tears heal. And when they do microscopic scar tissue is left behind (it's like a scab on a wound). These scar tissue fibers effectively lock your spasms into place.

Why is this important?

Because the tightness in your neck, shoulders and upper back and the spasms associated with this tightness restrict blood flow to the back of your head (it's like stepping on a turned-on garden hose).

This tightness and spasming also irritate various nerve endings in the back of your neck and head.

THIS BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION AND NERVE ENDING IRRITATION ARE WHAT CAUSE YOUR CHRONIC TENSION HEADACHES.

What You Must Do to Get Rid of Your Chronic Tension Headaches and Keep Them Away

There are two things you've got to do to get permanent relief from your chronic tension headaches:

You must get rid of the spasms in your neck, shoulders and upper back

You must correct your posture

The first step is to get rid of the scar tissue that's locking your spasms in place. Then the spasms can relax.

This will end the restriction of blood flow to the back of your head and the nerve ending irritation there.

Once there's no more blood flow restriction and no more nerve ending irritation, your headaches will go away.

So how to you get rid of this scar tissue?

You have somebody do my little "digging" technique on your neck, shoulders and upper back. It's the same technique I learned at the seminar.

This "digging" technique will gradually break down the scar tissue so your body can eliminate it as waste. Once the scar tissue is broken down and eliminated, your spasms will be able to relax. Then your headaches will go away.

(Don't worry, you don't have to go to an expensive massage therapist - just about anybody can learn to how to do this technique in minutes.)

So how long does it take to get rid of your headaches? For most people, anywhere from 4 to 10 digging sessions (although some people get major relief after only one).

These sessions are quick and easy. Each one takes about five minutes. And you only have it done on you once a week.

(It is unlikely that you'll be able to dig yourself out because it's difficult to get enough leverage.)

How Correcting Your Posture Helps
Keep Tension Headaches Away

The second step to getting rid of your chronic tension headaches is to correct your posture.

You do this by practicing some simple stretches for your neck, shoulders, upper back and chest. These stretches only take a few minutes a day.

By doing these stretches every day, you correct your posture so that you don't have a return of the muscles spasms that caused your chronic tension headaches in the first place.
