Addressing chronic pain with a mouthguard sounds crazy

But I think the vast majority of people out there will find that it works (if they stick with it).

Sometime back I was watching this documentary, “American Pain” that delves into the operations of Florida-based pain clinics involved in large-scale opioid distribution.

The film focuses on twin brothers Chris and Jeff George, who ran these clinics, and contributed to the opioid crisis in the United States.

Most of all I remember when they showed real security camera footage of the people going into and coming out of these clinics. My eyes naturally scan for people with good vs. bad structure.

And they literally all had poor structure.

It started becoming a game for me. I wanted to spot at least one exception to my rule. A person that had what looked like good structure but they were anyway experiencing chronic pain.

But since the footage that was shown was of real people I literally didn’t see anyone. They were all pretty badly structurally damaged.

There had to be a direct relationship here.

The pain epidemic in America

Chronic pain, defined as pain lasting longer than three months, has reached epidemic proportions in America.

The numbers are staggering: 116 million Americans experience chronic pain, with at least 17.1 million suffering from pain so severe it significantly limits their daily activities.

This represents not just a medical crisis but a social one, affecting work productivity, family relationships, and quality of life.

It is tearing Americans up from the inside.

What causes chronic pain (according to the common medical understanding)?

Medical doctors attribute chronic pain to various causes including injury, inflammation, nerve damage, and underlying health conditions.

Treatment typically involves a combination of pain medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications.

This approach has led to America's opioid crisis, with millions becoming dependent on painkillers while never addressing the root cause of their pain.

In the show there were thousands of people visiting these ghetto-looking pain clinics, which shows the level of desperation in people that are suffering.

I think these biomechanics are at the root cause

In my view, chronic pain will always root cause from these biomechanics UNLESS there was some type of true accident involved.

And I came to that conclusion based on logic.

Pain is caused by damage and damage can only come via internal influences (biomechanical collapse) or external influences (accidents). There are no other influences in my simplified view.

Nerve damage and other health conditions are just a function of biomechanical collapse and not a root cause in and of themselves.

For ~15 years in my twenties & thirties, I suffered from chronic back and neck tightness, seeking treatment approximately twice a week. That is about 100 medical visits per year for 15 years, or about 1500 medical visits.

I tried everything from chiropractic care to acupuncture, massage therapy to powerful muscle relaxants - nothing provided lasting relief until I discovered these biomechanics.

Now it is difficult for me to even comprehend what muscle tightness or pain is. People ask me if I want to go to a massage, which is very cheap and good here in Thailand, and I don’t see the point. So I always pass.

I think i’ve done only a single massage in the last two years here and it was only because my wife wanted to go. Compare this to some of my acquaintances here in Bangkok that are younger than me and probably go 4-5x per month to relieve various types of muscle tightness.

A rubber mouthguard is probably the best tool out there against pain

When you tell people suffering chronic pain that they should wear a rubber mouthguard they often look at you like you’re crazy.

They think you don’t understand what they’re going through.

Because they just see no connection between putting something in their mouth and the pain that they’ve been fighting against for years.

And yet it will typically work. In fact I’d go as far as to say that if you give it enough time it should ALWAYS work.

And a number of Reviv users are already finding it very surprising as this plays out on them. Chronic pain issues that they fought against for years are showing signs of finally lifting.

Rather than put words in their mouths it is my hope that some of them will comment on this post so that you can see them say it with their own words.

Why does a mouthguard work?

Because it addresses the biomechanical collapse process that I talk about throughout this blog.

By stretching the soft tissue (inflating the balloon), you are putting the curve of spee back and allowing the skeleton to resurrect.

Compression starts to reduce and things in your body begin to move back to where they should be. It takes time, but it works.

And instead of being a short-term fix it ends up being a long-term one. Unlike all the pain pills and body workers with their false promises.

Pain is one of the use cases we will focus on first here at Reviv

Given the widespread nature of chronic pain and the relatively quick results we're seeing, pain relief will be a primary focus for Reviv.

Unlike aesthetic improvements which can take longer to manifest, pain relief often occurs more rapidly. It can happen in weeks or perhaps months.

Whereas remodeling your skull the way Mewers hope to do is typically a question of years.

If you’re suffering from chronic pain I sincerely hope you give Reviv a try. And remember there is a 90-day guarantee.

If you don’t see your pain improving or even disappearing in 90 days, just ask for a refund. I don’t want people that do not get benefits to feel as though they have spent a single dime on Reviv.

Reviv to me reflects getting results after years of frustration. It is about transparency and community.

I want it to stand for everything that I would have wanted during my journey all those years bouncing between various medical practitioners.

But it is not easy. And things can take time.

So do not misinterpret me on that.

Closing thoughts

The chronic pain epidemic represents one of America's most pressing health challenges, affecting millions and costing billions in healthcare expenses and lost productivity.

While traditional approaches often focus on managing symptoms, these biomechanics offer hope by addressing the root cause.

The fact that you can address chronic pain through something as simple as a mouthguard might seem crazy.

But as more people try this approach and document their results, I think you’ll see that it’s not crazy at all.
