The purpose in writing this book was to fill a void that I noticed in the texts that I was able to read authored by others. I have a unique experience and point of view of musculoskeletal pain honed over 36 years and 45,000 patients. The experience of treating patients directly has been outstanding for me in a professional and personal sense. The advice given in this text is similar to what you would have heard if I had treated you directly. Of course, I have to disclaim any direct results to you if you read this text, because I have not examined you. The ideas are sound, and proven over those many years and great number of patients. The outcome studies verify the validity of the approaches to pain that are written in this text. The approaches we use are scientific, in that the results are predictable, which is the hallmark of science. The examples given as part of the discussion in the text are from my records. This book will empower you to make decisions about your pain.
