WHY DID THEY FIX MY --, BUT IT STILL HURTS
THINKING AND LOOKING OUTSIDE THE BOX
One spring afternoon I was introduced to a new patient who had been in to see my replacement doctor while I was on vacation in Tahiti. After I introduced myself she replied, "Nice to meet you, but I don’t know whether to jump for joy, cry, or sue somebody?" Sensing an emotional situation, I closed the door and asked, "Why would you want to sue somebody?" After all, my replacement doctor just trimmed off a callus beneath her big toe. Hardly enough to warrant a lawsuit? She went on to tell me that when she left the office her left leg immediately stopped hurting, and when she got up the next morning her back pain was all gone. She then said, "I’ve been through 5 years of hell", then she began to cry. When she regained her composure, she told me the following history. Low back pain began intermittently about five years ago. The pain progressed and became intense and permanent. She was admitted to the hospital on two occasions for traction and narcotic analgesia. On a third admission myelograms and a papaya enzyme injection into the bulging disk, were performed. Neither helped, so later she underwent a discectomy and laminectomy. The pain continued, and she was taking frequent Demerol injections, and was placed on a heavy dose of Valium. Three months prior to her visit to my office, she'd gone through rehabilitation to get off the Valium addiction. Apparently, the withdrawal symptoms from Valium are second to none. She'd just been released from the hospital for venograms to rule out blood clots in the leg veins, which might be responsible for the newly acquired leg – calf pain. She said, "I’m just sick to think that all this time my back was caused by my foot. Why didn’t the neurosurgeon look at my foot?" I mentioned that it was probably just a coincidence that her pain went away following the callus removal, so we should wait and see what happens if the callus grows back.
Two months later she returned to have the callus removed again as it had grown back and the pain in the leg was beginning to return, as was pain in her low back. The callus was no thicker than a nickel or bigger than a dime in size. It didn't have a "root" or any pathological component. So, like clockwork, every two months the callus grew back, and the pains returned in the back and leg, until she could get in to the office to have the callus trimmed.
As I reflect on this case I too, wonder why the neurosurgeon never looked at her feet, nor anyone else's. Many people have chronic lower back pain because of foot problems. In fact, I've seen six different foot and ankle problems repeat themselves in many patients as the cause of their lower back pain. The following lists all of the causes of back pain that I've seen over the years both as a Podiatrist and Myofascial Therapist.

THE LACTIC ACID CONNECTION
As mentioned in an earlier chapter, I had lower back pain for a number of years.
On my birthday in August, 1980 I ran my first marathon. It was a "Happening". I invited a bunch of my running friends to take part in my celebration. The months before, I took one of those distance marking wheels and measured segments of the American River 50 mile run on a horse and hiking trail from Auburn, California down to Folsom Dam. On the morning of the marathon, we started at 6:00 AM and got to the destination between 10:00, supermen/woman, and 10:30-11:00 AM the rest of us. Around 20 miles down the trail, I suffered cramps from lactic acid build-up in the right inner thigh Adductor Magnus muscle. I massaged the cramp out and continued on to finish the run. My family, office staff, friends and neighbors greeted us at the finish line. We had great refreshments and food, and upon returning home, I took a four hour nap.
The inner right thigh muscles burned and ached for a few days afterward, and then disappeared. In 1981, I ran my second annual marathon. The same thing occurred. The following months I noticed a very slight tightness and aching on the outer side of the knee, compensation for Adductor Magnus dysfunction. In 1982, I ran my third annual marathon and suffered the same cramps from the lactic acid build-up, followed by an aching in the knee for a few days (compensation for Adductor Magnus muscle dysfunction). A week later, I had the first episode of back spasms.
I didn't make any connection between the marathon and the back pain. The day before the back pain occurred I was lifting a pick-up truck load of rocks to fill a culvert and figured it was the lifting that did the number on my back. During the fourth annual marathon, I had the same inner right thigh cramps and a week later had the second annual back spasms. Now I'm beginning to think that there's some connection between the marathon and the back problem. However, I discounted this because my back didn't hurt when I ran. A typical Western medical thought process. If your foot doesn't hurt when you climb the ladder, then the ladder isn't a part of the problem. Also, what was one doing on the days prior to the onset of the problem? Not, what happened 20 years ago? In addition, the pains both had come on the day after doing some heavy lifting and twisting. This time it was from doing some fence work on my property. The same thing occurred during and after my fifth and final marathon. Now I'm pretty convinced there's a connection between running and the back spasms, but not quite sure why, because running didn't cause any pain in the back.
When my guru Milton mentioned the build-up of lactic acid in my inner thigh Adductor Magnus muscle after that first Bowen session, followed by tightening of the outer hip structures, which were then - just waiting to get injured, it now all makes sense. In addition, since I no longer run marathons, I've never had another twinge in my lower back.
THE TALES OF MANY KNEES
In my traditional podiatry career, I treated countless patients who had knee pain, by simply applying adhesive tape strappings to their arches to stop "over - pronation". (More) Once their knee pain stopped, usually within a week or two, I made them Orthotics for long term maintenance and prevention.
In my non-traditional, holistic] podiatry journey, from 1995 to 2006, I successfully treated even more patients who had knee pain by using Tom Bowen's Medical Bodywork Technique. Sometimes as a stand-alone procedure, and sometimes with my strappings and orthotics combined.
My ongoing water drinkers survey shows, that people who regularly drink Perfect Water, have excellent results with knee pain. As a matter of fact, 100% have had reduction or resolution of their knee pains! I was amazed to find in my survey, that more people have knee pain than back pain.
So, after you have your knee checked to rule out any morbid pathology, but before you consent to cortisone or Synvisc ® injections, Arthroscopic ,or other invasive procedures, try the following:
Orthotics
Tom Bowen's Medical Bodywork
A Solution that offers many solutions -Perfect Water ! Yep, Water. (More)
Combinations of the above
All of the above
#1: Once upon a time, there was a patient who presented me with a club-foot deformity which had an ulceration beneath the 5th metatarsal head. His lower leg looked like it had been run over by a train. The ulcer penetrated down to the tendon which overlaid the bone. Fortunately, it wasn't infected.
He told me that he had arthroscopic knee surgery three years prior. The surgeon accidentally penetrated the joint capsule and nicked the Common Peroneal artery, on the outer side of the leg. A recovery room nurse discovered his cold, swollen, and purple left foot, about 15 minutes post operative, and promptly called the surgeon.
They found the bleeding artery and tied it off. Then, they opened his lower leg in the four compartments in order to drain the blood that had pooled within the muscle compartments.
Subsequently, over a two year time period, he went through a series of plastic surgeries, antibiotics for infections, and physical therapies to make him as good as he could be.
He was 32 years old, and stuck with this condition for the rest of his life! Too bad he didn't know about, Orthotics, Tom Bowen's Medical Bodywork Therapy, or the Perfect Water!
#2: Just before I retired from my practice and was moving to North Carolina, a patient came by to say goodbye. He raised his tee shirt and showed me a long, red scar from his sternum to the naval. He'd worked overtime as an iron-worker a few weeks before. When he awakened on the following Saturday morning, his knee was sore, so he took three Advil tablets, not something that he customarily did. The next afternoon he began experiencing excruciating stomach pain and so he went to the emergency room.
His stomach lining had perforated, and he had an acute infection in the abdominal cavity. He had his belly opened and drained, I.V. antibiotics, and hospitalized for 10 days, while the infection subsided.
Too bad he didn't know about, Orthotics, Tom Bowen's Medical Bodywork Therapy, or The Perfect Water!
#3: From 1999 until 2004, there were 50,000 people in the US, who died over that 5 year span, as a result of intestinal bleeding from taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Some of them must have had knee pain? Too bad they didn't know about, Orthotics, Tom Bowen's Medical Bodywork Therapy, or The Perfect Water!
#4: An estimated 60,000 people died from cardiac complications from the drug Vioxx ® before it was taken off the market. Many of them must have had knee pain? Too bad they didn't know about, Orthotics, Tom Bowen's Medical Bodywork Therapy, or The Perfect Water!
#5: My wife complained daily about her knee pain, even more so, after she did yard-work. She'd often say, "I think that I'm going to need arthroscopic knee surgery. Will you ask Dr. Johns who I should see?" I told her to start drinking the Perfect, Water. She replied, "Oh, what's that going to do?" I said, "It stopped my chronic shoulder pain-try it!" Reluctantly, she began drinking the water. After about a week, she stopped complaining about it. Until, she went back to California to visit her family. About four days later she called and reported that her knee pain had returned with a vengeance - she'd not drunk the water since leaving North Carolina. When she returned home, and began drinking the water, the pain was gone within 24 hours, and has remained gone since 2009. So, no surgery -- or anti-inflammatory drugs.
Glad she drank the Perfect Water !
#6: My associate's mother, who is 96 years young, had arthritic knees which were, "Bone on Bone!" Every step she took she said, "Ugh!"
All she did was make her coffee with 9.5 alkaline the perfect Water . 6 months later, her gray hair was turning red again, and he knee pains were gone.
You know what her doctor said? "Well. Whatever you're doing? Keep doing it!"
Glad she drank the Perfect Water !
#7: One of the first patients that I treated with Tom Bowens Medical Bodywork for a foot problem, didn't tell me about her knee problem at the time of the session. When she came back a week later for a follow up session she said, "Whatever you did in that treatment for my foot, my knee pain disappeared. Yesterday, I cancelled my arthroscopic knee surgery appointment that was scheduled for next Tuesday!"
Glad she found out about Tom Bowen's Medical Bodywork Therapy. Even though, it was by accident.
#8. One Saturday, I treated a man who continued to have severe knee pain in spite of two knee surgeries, cortisone injections, and physical therapy. He only got partial and temporary relief when he took strong narcotic pain medication. When I performed the Knee Procedure I could barely touch his knee it was so painful. After his session I gave him 3 gallons of 8.5 restructured Alkaline water to drink also. I heard a few days later from his cousin, who had referred him to me, that his session was so successful that he went to the Carolina Panthers Game the next day. That entails a whole lot of walking and climbing up the stairs. On his follow up visit the following Saturday, his knee was a little sore, but no pain. He had not taken a pain pill all week. I could apply the normal amount of pressure while doing the Knee Procedure. His cousin was at my office with her daughter for a session as we were ending his treatment. She couldn't believe the difference in his skin color, facial appearance, and gait as compared to before his Bowen sessions. The previous Saturday he labored in his plodding gait from favoring his knee. This week he was walking completely normal.
He's glad he found out about Tom Bowen's Medical Bodywork Therapy!!
He 's glad he drank the restructured alkaline water !!
#9. My brother-in-law has had 3 knee replacements and he's only 60 years old. He had the first one in his mid forties. The next was in his 50's, and he had the 1st one re-done about 3 years ago. A year or so ago, he discovered the Egoscue Technique. He has followed the exercises daily and has had so much improvement in his knees and lower back he said, "I'm sure that if I had known about this beforehand, I wouldn't have needed replacement surgeries".
Too bad he didn't drink the water or know about Egoscue! He did wear orthotics off and on, and have Bowen Sessions on an infrequent basis.
