And if you have pain, it is possible that much of your pain does not come from the joint but from fascia that could be close by or several inches away.

Occupational medicine training taught me about heavy metal exposure/poisoning that can injure the brain, and how to get things like mercury out of the body.

We also can consider stem cell treatments to perhaps help the brain restore from damage.
