EFFECTS
EFFECTS OF NON-TREATMENT OF SLIPPED DISC
I list the effects of slipped disc:
• Pressure on the nerve may eventually cause numbness or "pins and needles" sensation
• Over time, the surrounding muscles can weaken and shrink in size
• When lying down both legs will not be able to lift up
• The condition must be diagnosed and treated to prevent further damage
EFFECTS OF SPINAL MISALIGNMENT
The nervous system controls and coordinates all organs and structures of the human body. Misalignment of spinal vertebrae and discs may cause irritation to the nervous system affecting the organs and functions which may result in the conditions shown below:

COCCYX
Re**um, a**s
Hemorrhoids (piles), pruritis (itching) pain at end of spine when seated
For further explanation of the conditions shown above, ask your Doctor or Chiropractic. Extreme, sudden pain is usually the first symptom. Since most herinations involve the bottom two discs in the spinal column, the pain usually begins in the lower back. The bulging disc in this location exerts pressure on the sciatic nerve, and sharp pain may follow that nerve all the way down the leg and into the foot. Pressure on this nerve may eventually cause numbness or "pins and needles" sensation. Over time, the surrounding muscles can weaken and shrink in size. Discs may also rupture at higher levels in the spine causing pain and weakness in the neck, shoulders and arms. If you experience new onset of trouble controlling urine (bladder incontinence), difficulty controlling bowel movements (bowel incontinence), or numbness in the perineal region (saddle region), usually noticed after wiping in the bathroom, should contact a physician immediately as these may be signs of cauda equina syndrome which is a surgical emergency. In this condition, the disc herniation is extremely large and presses on the nerve roots affecting bowel and bladder control. The best chance to regain these functions is through prompt surgical decompression of the affected area. Thankfully, this condition is rare. Even if the initial pain subsides, it is important that the condition be diagnosed and treated in order to prevent further damage. DIAGNOSIS
HOW IS SLIPPED DISC DIAGNOSISED? A number of tests are used to pinpoint the site of the herniation, such as X-ray, myelography, computed tomography (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). RICHARD TAN'S ATPT DIAGNOSIS
I use a slim piece of bamboo stick to prod certain points of both thumbs to ascertain your health and find out the exact vertebrate where the pain is and related ailments. TREA
MENT
HOW IS SLIPPED DISC TREATED? Traditionally, surgical method involves an operation to remove the portion of the disc that is protruding and pressing on the nerve. The surgeon makes a 5 cm incision along the backbone
The skin, muscle and nerves are peeled aside and clamped down
A bit of the bone is cut off from the vetebra to get to the slipped disc
After the protruding part is cut off, the muscle and skin are replaced and sewn up
It takes about two months for post operation recovery. IS SURGERY ALWAYS NECESSARY? No, there is an alternative. Surgery is invasive and expensive. I have seen patients being reduced to lives of misery and frustration. Surgery does not guarantee freedom from future attacks. THE ALTERNATIVE
Slipped disc patients who undergone surgical treatment several times come to us for Ancient Trigger Point Therapy (ATPT). These patients suffered relapse less than nine months after their operation. I have treated patients as young as 18 years to as old as 76 years of age. Patients were nationals of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Singapore and China. These patients are now totally free from agony. TREATMENT DURATION
One ATPT lasts only two hours and patients are able to experience the difference. They discovered they could walk without pinching the nerve causing pain. ATPT is the world's only simplest and safest alternative treatment for slipped disc patients. ACTIVITY MODIFICATIONS
One to two days of bed rest may benefit suffers of slipped disc. This relaxes the tissues and takes pressure off the disc. Bed rest for longer periods of time has never been demonstrated to be beneficial. On the contrary, many physicians believe extended bed rest can be detrimental to the overall physical and psychological health of an individual, factors that greatly impact back pain. You should slow down your schedule, reduce workloads and have friends and family help around the house. You should not lift anything weighing more than five to ten pounds and limit bending forward. Both of these activities increase pressure in the disc space. ATPT REMEDY ADVANTAGES OF ATPT TREATMENT
These are:
1. No removal of the displaced disc
3. The simplest and safest treatment
4. No significant tissue trauma
5. The disc heals better
6. No anesthetic necessary
7. Patient can walk after the procedure
8. Patient can be treated at home
9. Fastest possible recovery and return to normal activities
10. No hazardous side effects
11. No steroids
12. No marcain (an intense pain killer)
THE METHOD
I use a very simple method of clearing all knotted points via ATPT. After ATPT has relaxed the muscles that hug the spine, I am able to realign the slipped disc within the spinal cord. I refrain from applying pressure on the injured points as these are extremely raw and sensitive. Instead pressure is applied on what is regarded as "magic touch points" connected to the sore areas. There are roughly 30 points that can be stimulated to clear a single point. These points are the referral areas and meridians of the body. The treatment balances the energy flow of these points. This is followed-up by the patient performing certain hands and body movements from an extremely complex relay networks that effectively realign the spine gently and naturally. This technique is completely non-invasive and provides immediate relief and recovery to the spinal system. I have treated hundreds of slipped disc patients by using ATPT with a very high success rate in eliminating their pain. Within two hours of treatment:
1. The severe pain down the leg and back is relieved
2. The pressure on the nerve is released and this may rapidly relieve pain
3. When pain is released, the muscle function is restored
4. Both legs will be able to lift up when laying down
MY INVENTION
THE RICHARD TAN STORY
There is a reason for every endeavor and a cause for every research. My foray into the study of alternative health practices began from the detriment of my own health as well as in support of my spiritual inclinations. I was a victim of 10 attacks of slipped disc. Some were debilitating, almost paralyzing my movements completely. These attacks led to simple discoveries that fuelled my research in curing spinal problems. My natural instinct in the throes of an attack was to lie flat on the floor (if possible) and regain an alignment of my backbone by doing simple hand movements. I discovered one particular movement led to a direct healing of the slipped disc. This fueled a thriving interest in the areas of health and well-being.. My voracious search led me to a tutelage under a Grand Master of Trigger Point Therapy. ONLY PERSON TO DO THIS
Richard Tan is the only person in the world who has invented the use of a bamboo stick to prod on hundreds of nerve points of both the thumbs to check how health you are. Many were stunned and amused when told the exact ailments they suffer from and whether they drank alcohol, smoke, etc. Many ailments are minor enough and can be healed by a very special therapy message on the right nerves to trigger the body to take action and heal. If minor ailments are not taken seriously, the body may develop serious trouble and cause other organs to malfunction, eg. diabetes, kidney failure, liver problems, etc. Richard Tan is listed in EXP.com as an Official Alternative Health Expert. MY INVENTION
I used a slim piece of bamboo stick to prod certain points of both thumbs to ascertain your health and find out the exact vertebrae and related ailments this suffers from. This led me to create an instrument fashioned from the everyday potato peeler that could be used as a personal means of acupressure. This is a handheld instrument fashioned with a bamboo. My invention was cheap yet successfully performed its task as a portable means of restoring health and vitality.
