In May, 1993, while lifting a stereo unit out of a car, I fell on concrete on my right buttocks. Three hours later, a searing pain traveled down my right leg and after three days, attacked my lower and mid back and buttocks. So began a nine-month journey to family doctors, osteopaths, chiropractors, physical therapists and neurosurgeons. Although each was competent in their field and I tried a regimen of back exercises and moderate doses of anti-inflammatory medicines, I did not get better. Even though x-rays and CAT scans revealed two moderate bulging discs, surgery was not indicated. My mood soured and the pain became unrelenting.

As a last resort, and with the support of my primary care physician, I became a patient at the Stanford University Medical Center Pain Management Service. In February, 1994 I had my first appointment at Stanford. Dr. William Brose, the Director of the Clinic, was assigned to my case. During a three-hour consultation, Dr. Brose examined me thoroughly and inquired in depth about the situation. Dr. Brose explained that I had a disease called chronic pain. Although there was no cure for chronic pain, relief could be obtained through an appropriate pain management program. With Dr. Brose’s guidance a pain management program was developed which included: (1) physical therapy; (2) psychological evaluation and therapy to learn pain management skills; (3) appropriate medication and (4) a goal phase. As the cornerstone of my program, the goal phase required me to set and reach vocational, recreational, social, exercise and pain/management goals on a daily and weekly basis. Within two months the results were dramatic. My pain decreased significantly and I resumed living a normal life.

During this time I developed an avid interest in complementary medicine. I found that using holistic health and alternative medicine techniques enhanced my treatment at Stanford. Thus, I was amazed that I could relieve pain through self-hypnosis and acupressure. I then pursued a course of study in holistic health at the World School of Massage and Advanced Healing Arts in San Francisco, which eventually lead to my certification as a Holistic Health Counselor.

Recognizing there were so many people in the world with back and sciatica pain, I decided to write a book which combined the best elements of the Stanford Pain Management Program and my over 600 hours of education in holistic health and alternative medicine. A uniform format was developed to make the explanation of each pain relieving technique easy and understandable. That format established: (1) what the pain relieving technique was; (2) why it worked and (3) how was it accomplished. I also felt people in pain needed a program to follow. The book contains three such programs modeled after the Stanford goal therapy program. Two audio CDs, narrated by my co-author Christine Opie, walk readers through many of the mental and physical means of pain relief.

Managing pain with physical and mental means is a concept that works. Since adopting pain management as a way of life, I live relatively pain free and am able to live a full life not limited by pain.

For a further explanation of pain management concepts and programs, why pain management works in relieving pain, and the causes and remedies for chronic back pain, I urge you to read the Foreword written by Dr. Brose.

I also recommend you read the sections following this letter.

They explain why the book and 2 CDs may relieve your pain, set forth the pain relieving techniques you will learn, and state the praise the book - CD package has received from readers and professionals in the pain management field. Please also visit the Pain Relief Center. That section contains a discussion of pain relieving products which I have successfully used for pain relief including the Thermotex heating pads which I highly recommend.

I feel so strongly about the concept of pain management and the materials in the book and on the CDs, that I am offering them at my own risk.
