Real Case: Juan's Back Pain and Synapta
ase your pain with Synapta
Juan had suffered from a herniated disc. He underwent surgery, the result was good, and he was practically pain-free for a year. Until about two weeks ago, when the back pain suddenly reappeared.
A Year Without Pain, and Suddenly It All Returns
It wasn't a minor discomfort. Juan couldn't tie his shoelaces. He struggled to get out of the car. He couldn't straighten up completely. The pain had once again marked his daily life.
The Assessment: An Honest Starting Point
The first thing with the Synapta methodology is not to treat, but to measure. Professor Carlos Alsina asked Juan to rate his pain from 0 to 10. The response was a 5. A present and limiting pain, with an abdominal tension component that often accompanies this type of condition.
The Session, Step by Step
Carlos Alsina worked with Synapta. He placed the first needles to release tension and, instead of waiting until the end, did something unusual: reassess during the session.
He asked Juan to stand up. "Perhaps I got up better than before," he acknowledged. The pain persisted, but it had shifted and focused to the left. For Carlos Alsina this concentration of pain at the point where it started is a sign that the tension and inflammation are subsiding.
How the Session Ended
After completing the work and the final stretch, the reassessment was clear. In areas where there was pain before, Juan felt nothing. He got up much better than at the beginning. When asked if he could tie his shoes now, the response was direct: "with pleasure."
frequently asked questions
What is the Synapta methodology?
It is the therapeutic synthesis of Professor Carlos Alsina, based on over 35 years of experience in acupuncture. It works on muscle tension, pain, and general wellbeing as a complementary therapy to regular medical follow-up.
Does Synapta replace medical treatment?
No. Synapta is a complementary wellbeing therapy that does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment. It is always considered alongside regular medical follow-up.
Can Synapta help if back pain reappears after surgery?
It can help alleviate associated tension and pain, as in Juan's case. The reappearance of pain after surgery requires medical evaluation; Synapta acts as a complement, not as an alternative.
Where can I book a Synapta session?
At the Instituto de Benito, in Barcelona, with Professor Carlos Alsina.
