Man’s symptoms clearly not from hip bone on bone but surgery still recommended.
I was recently called by a former patient of mine who I hadn’t seen in a couple of years. I was told by his wife that he was having pain at the groin region and that he had difficulty getting up from a chair after sitting for awhile. He went to an orthopedist who without […]
When is bursitis not bursitis?
I am always amazed at the number of people who have hip or shoulder region pain, see a physician and are then diagnosed with bursitis without any physical indication that bursitis exists. Some people are given the diagnosis without any testing and others get an x-ray and then are told they have bursitis. In almost […]
Arthritis the cause of your pain? Don’t think so.
It seems that the idea of arthritis as the cause of pain has entered our culture so deeply, that I bet it would be a shock to most to find out that on the whole arthritis does not cause pain. Osteoarthritis is actually a progressive mechanical wearing down of joint surfaces. It is not an […]
Why choosing The Pain Cure Rx as the only method of diagnosing and treating your pain
Simply put, pain at the neck, back or extremities will mostly result from irritation of bone, nerve or muscle. The only way to get a correct diagnosis for the cause of your pain is to use a method capable of diagnosing all three of these as potential causes. The reality of the existing system is […]
Achilles tendinits from a strained hip muscle on the opposite side? Hard to believe but true.
I recently was asked to evaluate a patient who was having achilles tendinitis at the left ankle region. He had had the pain at the tendon for months. He was treated with cold laser, a typical physical therapy agent used to address inflammation. It didn’t work because there was no indication that inflammation was even […]
Please Understand! It is my method that will resolve your pain; not me!
This is a response from a person that used my method to resolve her knee pain very quickly. “Hello Mitchell Yass, It’s Dianna, we recently talked over the phone about my knee. We spoke while you were driving. I want to thank you again for taking the time out to talk to me. I did […]
Strengthening your lower back to resolve lower back pain sounds good right? WRONG!
For those in the medical community who promote the idea that exercise can help resolve lower back pain, there is a general belief that one of the keys is to strengthen the lower back. For the average person, this seems like the right idea. The premise is simple, you have lower back pain because the […]
Pain between the shoulder blades from a cervical disc, stenosis or pinched nerve: IMPOSSIBLE!
I have treated many patients who had pain between the shoulder blades and were diagnosed with either a cervical herniated disc, stenosis or pinched nerve. This led to treatment at the cervical spine including epidural nerve blocks, pain medication and worst of all many had surgery to the cervical spine which did nothing to resolve […]
Symptoms Can Tell You Which Tissue Is Emitting Your Pain, Not Diagnostic Tests
If you are having pain at the chest and left arm, you do not ignore that and say I will wait until my yearly check up to get an EKG. You know that those symptoms indicate a heart attack so you act upon the symptoms. The same can be said if you suddenly have difficulty […]
