exploring instruments,it is possible to find and interpret the nature of tissue dysfunction underlying Chronic Pain. When this is done, dysfunctioning tissues become normal and Chronic Pain goes away and stays away.

Bernard dedicated his book to Ignatz Semmelweis. His "Overlooked Simplicity" was to have doctors wash their hands.
Bernard Schatz, P.T., has studied and treated chronic pain for over half a century-since 1950, when he began work at the Institute for Medical Research, Cedars of Lebanon Hospital, Los Angeles.
He discovered that the primary cause of chronic pain is contracted tissues that press on nerves. If contracted tissues occur in the neck and scalp, doctors call the pain "migraine." If contracted tissues occur in the hand and arm, doctors call it "carpal tunnel syndrome" and if it occurs throughout the body, "fibromyalgia." It's one condition with many names.
Bernard developed a method, the Schatz Technique(tm) Chronic Pain Prevention and Treatment Method, that normalizes contracted tissues. They become healthy and free of pain.
By the way, Bernard is 82 and has no pain anywhere in his body. In the past he suffered pain in his neck, shoulders, arms, back and legs. Pain that doctors called "chronic." However, he treated himself in the way he advises others. The result: for many years he wakes in the morning without pain, and goes through the day without pain. He walks with a spring in his step instead of hobbling around." (If he could do it so can readers of this book.)
