Injury and Recovery – Neuromyofascial Science

Three-stage medical illustration showing the evolutionary injury response following whiplash. Stage 1 shows acute whiplash force hitting the cervical spine with immediate injury at the upper cervical region. Stage 2 shows fibrous protective tissue forming at C1-C2, labeled as not visible on standard MRI. Stage 3 shows chronic contracture with thickened fibrous tissue, nerve root compression in red, narrowed spinal canal, and spinal cord compression.

When a spinal injury heals, most people assume the tissue returns to something close to its original state. Scar forms, the acute phase resolves, and…

Split illustration comparing healthy and pathological kinetic chains from the lumbar spine to the foot. Healthy side shows normal L5-S1 nerve roots, relaxed calf muscle, and normal plantar fascia. Pathological side shows compressed L5-S1 nerve roots driving calf muscle dystonia, increased Achilles tendon tension, and inflamed plantar fascia under load at the heel insertion.
