The Pain Cure Rx: The Yass Method for Diagnosing and Resolving Chronic Pain
Product ID: 182556845
“If you are suffering with chronic pain, this book is for you.”— Deepak Chopra, M.D., New York Times best-selling author of The Future of God Are you struggling with chronic pain? You’re not alone: an estimated one billion of us across the globe suffer chronic pain every day. And what Dr. Mitchell Yass has found over his 20-year career is that many of us suffer needlessly. While the current medical model for treating pain isn’t helping, there is hope. The Pain Cure Rx presents an alternative model of treatment – the Yass Method – that can resolve pain quickly and effectively without surgery or medication. In the medical community today, most chronic pain is attributed to a structural problem, such as a herniated disc, a meniscal tear, or arthritis. But Dr. Yass has found that in about 90 percent of cases, the cause is actually a muscular weakness or imbalance – a condition that’s easy to treat on your own. The Yass Method, developed through his work with more than 14,000 patients, focuses on finding the true source of the pain and then using simple exercises to find lifelong relief. Dr. Yass looks at the most common areas where people experience pain; lays out simple tests that examine things like range of motion, walking patterns, and posture; and teaches you to use this information, rather than invalid diagnostic tests, to determine whether your pain is muscular or structural. If it is structural, you can choose surgery, knowing that the outcome will likely be good. But if the pain is muscular, you can use the easy, step-by-step exercises and routines Dr. Yass offers to get the pain resolution you’re searching for. Many of the people Dr. Yass has treated came to him as a last resort before surgery or as a follow-up after surgery that didn’t resolve their pain. Many of them had been told that they would have to manage their pain with drugs for the rest of their lives, or, worse, that there was nothing left to try; they would simply have to live with the pain. This revolutionary book shows that, in most cases, this simply isn’t true – and empowers you to create a pain-free life.

I've studied this in detail but I'm not sure how effective the exercises will be as it's quite difficult to diagnose one's own problem properly. If Dr Yass lived close by and I could consult him then I'm sure his research would be of value. I haven't given up on it though.

- I quote from one review - I am grateful for ther post as hernniated L5 disc is the problem I'd have bought ths book for < "........Dr. Yass makes the statement that would discredit the book and display his ignorance to such a important topic, he states that if you have pain in the gluteal region and have been told it is being caused by a problem in the lumbar spine (herniated disc) the diagnosis cannot be correct because the nerves to that area come off the sacral region. Say it is not so Yass? Need I remind you compressions in the origin region of the sacral plexus (mainly L5 and S1) could be caused by a tumor or herniated disk. I mean the Superior Gluteal Nerve has it's orgins from L5. I believe you have misinformed yourself into thinking that the Lumbar Plexus contains L1-L5 but in fact L4 and L5 are considered part of the Sacral Plexus and CERTAINLY these regions DO produce Gluteal Pain, in fact a Herniated disc at L5 is the #1 cause of that pain (85% of the time as per Clinical Symposia Vol 48, Number 4 1996, Evaluation and Treatment of Low Back Pain, Vert Mooney, MD Jeffrey Saal MD, Joel Saal MD. This point discredits the entire chapter because patients will think they can do exercises to heal the buttock pain when in fact many compression exercises can irritate it if there is a herniated disc present. I understand that Dr.Yass falls into a group that believe disc injury on an MRI is not usually significant in diagnosis however my clinical experience shows that is not the case. Unfortunately for anyone who has ever suffered from these problems many exercises will further damage the spine. I am reminded of the when all you have is a hammer everything is a nail mindset, however not knowing Dr. Yass I would not be quick to judge. So I think its a great book but if you find this advice makes you hurt more I would suggest searching beyond these exercises or at the very least we can all agree get a professional evaluation."
