Before pain gets a name, the body often shows signs first. A change in how tissue feels. A tender spot near the lymph nodes. A muscle that tightens to protect itself. A restriction that keeps coming back. A nervous system that can't fully settle. Many patients come in with one thing to say: "It hurts here." But the real question is: Why is the body protecting this area? In ANF Education, therapists learn to look past the symptom. They learn to feel for signs of dysfunction in the nervous system, the biochemistry, the lymphatic system, and the structure of the body. Because pain is often just the last signal. The body has usually been speaking for a while before that. This changes how therapists think. Not chasing symptoms. Not guessing at protocols. Reading the whole system.

A bulging disc stretches the outer layer but keeps the inner part in place.

A herniated disc tears the outer layer, letting the inner part move out. That one difference can change how the nerve reacts, how the pain feels, and how it should be treated. But many clinicians treat both the same way — and that's often where progress stalls. Here's what each level may relate to: L1 → Groin, inner thigh & hip

L2 → Front of thigh & buttock

L3 → Front & inner knee

L4 → Inner lower leg, foot & big toe (watch for weakness in lifting the foot)

L5 → Outer calf, top of foot & big toe (watch for weakness in lifting the big toe) Same spine. Different patterns. When symptoms don't follow the usual pattern, it may be worth looking at the nervous system more closely.

“They come in with pain. I do my assessment. Then I put the ANF Devices on… and that’s when everything changes.”

🎙️ In this clip, Sarah Leong-Lopes shares one of those moments that sticks with her as a clinician:

“I check range of motion, strength, pain levels—the usual. But after applying the ANF Devices, most people will pause and say something like: ‘Oh wow… the pain’s already going down.’ On average, they report a 40–60% reduction—right there on the table. And then… they just start moving. Before I even reach for my goniometer, I can already see that their motion has improved.”

It's not just about pain relief— It’s about what changes when someone realizes their body can move again.

🧠 That spark of curiosity. That surprised smile. That “What just happened?” moment.

🎬 Hit play to hear Sarah describe it in her own words. Because sometimes, seeing isn’t believing—feeling is.

POV: One conversation with Dr. Mikel… and now I’m rethinking everything I learned about pain and injuries.

Not because what we learned was wrong— But because it was incomplete.

We were taught to treat pain at the site. But what if the real issue is deeper… inside the nervous system?

At ANF Academy, Dr. Mikel challenges everything we thought we understood— And gives us tools to treat what others can’t see.

If you’ve ever had a patient that didn’t respond the way they should have... You’re not alone. There’s more to the story—and more you can do.

You didn’t become a clinician to guess. You became one to find answers. That’s what we do here.
