End Chronic Pain Now

Scoliosis causing back pain, lumbar pinched nerves, stenosis or herniated discs as a cause of sciatica, bone on bone as the cause of joint pain when the range of motion of the joint is full; all of these diagnoses are fictitious and could never create the symptoms described and yet they are commonly provided as the cause of these symptoms. Millions of people a year are directed to get MRIs to identify the cause of their pain and structural variations like the ones described are identified. These become the diagnosed caused of symptoms and are treated. The insanity is that these structural variations could never create these symptoms. This is why regardless of the procedures performed, surgeries performed, medications taken, practitioners seen, money spent, time invested, the symptoms continue and in most cases get worse. The use of diagnostic tests is invalid just from the idea that structural variations are identified and said to be the cause of symptoms even when that is impossible. The symptoms you exper

Trust has been given to medical practitioners for hundreds of years simply because they wear a white coat and passed medical school. In the area of chronic pain, this is not enough. The system is broken and unrepairable as long as the MRI is the primary way a diagnosis is derived. If a medical practitioner is willing to accept this method as the way to identify the tissue emitting the symptoms and base all treatments on this diagnosis, then they simply don't deserve trust and in fact should be questioned as to how they can accept this with every bit of evidence pointing to the failure of its usage. www.mitchellyass,com drmitch@mitchellyass.com The Yass method does not accept the MRI as the gold standard for diagnosing. In fact, it hopes to replace it with its approach of interpreting the body's presentation of symptoms to identify the tissue eliciting the symptoms just as the body had intended it to work. The system has been presented in book form, through Youtube videos, on Facebook and shortly in on-li

Don't get a back fusion and then regret it after your pain remains or is worse. Most back pain is muscular in nature. The body presents the symptoms to help to understand not only that the cause is muscular but which muscles are responsible for the lower back pain. The Yass method ignores MRI test results because the structural variations found such as herniated discs, stenosis and pinched nerves can be found in as many people with no pain as with pain. These tests can also not identify muscular causes. So a muscle in spasm at the lower back will never be identified and if stenosis or a pinched nerve is, the wrong tissue will be treated and this can go on for years. This is the reason why so many people are still in pain after years of treatment and multiple practitioners. 22 million Americans addicted to prescription pain medication is no accident. Don't get another opinion from a person who holds the same belief as the person giving the first opinion that the MRI is the key to identifying the cause of you

So many people are diagnosed with a meniscal tear or bone on bone as the cause of their knee pain. They get surgeries including knee replacements and still have the same if not greater pain and wonder why. The answer is clear. The cause of the pain was not the structures of the knee. It is muscle weakness or imbalance of the muscles that attach to the knee causing the joint surfaces to rub in a way they shouldn't. This is the cause is more than 95% of cases. Shouldn't you investigate this as a possibility before getting a surgery you can't reverse? The Yass method is the only method that interprets the body's presentation of symptoms to identify which tissue is creating the symptoms. This is exactly how the body works creating specific symptoms to represent specific causes. Learn which presentation is the only presentation that confirms whether a structure is the cause of the knee pain and which muscular causes are most associated with creating knee pain. Don't become one of the 22 million Americans addict

Thousands of people a day are getting joint replacements because they have been misdiagnosed as having osteoarthritis as the cause of their pain. The failure rates for these surgeries is so high that they are leading to revisions at a meteoric rate. I have personally treated people with multiple revisions and yet they still had the same if not worse pain. You have to understand when the body's physical presentation of symptoms tells you that osteoarthritis is the cause of pain. In most cases, the diagnosis is false leading to unnecessary surgery. You need to listen to this podcast to understand how to interpret your own body and not to accept the invalid practice of using x-rays or MRIs to identify whether a joint is "bone on bone". Ask one of the 22 million people addicted to prescription pain medication whether the diagnosis they received was valid. The Yass method is the only method that interprets the body"s presentation of symptoms to identify the tissue eliciting the symptoms. This is actually the w

Sciatica does not come from the lumbar spine; Period! You are being mislead everytime you get an MRI and it finds a structural variation like a herniated disc, stenosis or pinched nerve at the lumbar spine and this is promoted as the cause of sciatica. The sciatic nerve does not attach to the spine. The sciatic nerve begins at the gluteal region and ends at the back of the knee. Irritation of the nerve must occur somewhere along the path of the nerve. All of your are right who say that they don't have back pain and can't understand why they are being told the cause of sciatica is coming from the lumbar spine. It is a fraud, a sham! In almost every case, the cause of sciatica is the result of the piriformis muscle in the gluteal region impinging on the sciatic nerve after it strains. It is actually a muscular cause creating a neurological symptom. Surgery or any procedure to the lumbar spine will do nothing other than increase your symptoms. It is time to get the right information regarding the cause of

If you have hip, knee or shoulder pain, chances are you will be getting an x-ray to identify the cause. There is a high probability that you will be told that you are bone on bone and that you require a joint replacement. What you have to know is that these tests can not confirm whether you are bone on bone. This is a lie perpetuated by the medical establishment. They can only tell you whether there is decreased joint space. But to identify whether you are truly bone on bone, the only method is to physically look at the range of motion of the affected joint. If there is a major loss of range of motion and at that point it feels like the range is being stopped because a bone is hitting another bone, that is the only presentation that can be accepted as being bone on bone. The Yass method is the only method that uses an interpretation of the body's presentation of symptoms to proper identify the cause of symptoms. It is the only method that can identify all potential tissues. Muscular causes cannot be identif

This is the question I want asked by all those suffering in pain to all those who are treating them and unable to reduce their pain or return them to a normal functional lifestyle? People continue to suffer with no sight of ending their pain or getting their lives back. They put time, effort and money toward this effort and nothing gets done, in fact it continues to get worse. I talk to people daily who think they are alone in this situation. They must be told that they are not alone; they are in fact part of the majority. Cumulatively, people must ask the medical establishment why is nobody getting better and what should be done to end this nightmare. The very sad answer is that most people are getting misdiagnosed simply by entering the medical establishment. As soon as you enter the system, you are asked to get an MRI and told that what ever is found on the MRI is the cause of your symptoms and requires treatment. This is the greatest fallacy every perpetuated on people in the area of medicine. You get t
