Albert Ellis wrote a book called the myth of self-esteem. It sounds like you came to a very similar conclusion.
Myofascial pain syndrome is the MOST COMMON manifestation of chronic pain. Myofascial pain syndrome is characterized by active myofascial trigger points,. Myofascial trigger points cause both peripheral and Central sensitization ie allodynia and hyperalgesia. Dry needling is the most effective way to treat active myofascial trigger points. There is always an underlying cause why the formation of myofascial trigger points continue. But let's really get into the science. Moseley, himself wrote the excellent chapter on pain in the equally excellent 4th edition of the text Clinical Sport Medicine(2012). Here are some Moseley excerpts: “Trigger points are present in all patients with chronic pain and are thought to reflect sensitization of nociceptive processing in the central nervous system… Patients with active trigger points present with persistent regional pain… These patterns clearly reflect central convergence of peripheral inputs, which further implicates the central nervous system in their generation and contribution to a pain state.” Moseley GL. Pain: why and how does it hurt? Brukner & Kahn’s Clinical Sports Medicine. North Ryde, NSW: McGraw-Hill Australia Pty Ltd; 2012 "elimination of myofascial trigger points is an important component of the management of chronic musculoskeletal pain” and “we have found ischemic compression and dry needling to be the most effective" According to Dommerholt, all treatments fall into one of these two categories or both: a pain-control phase and a deep conditioning phase. During the pain-control phase, trigger points are deactivated, improving circulation, decreasing pathological nociceptive activity, and eliminating the abnormal biomechanical force patterns. During the deep conditioning phase, the intra- and inter- tissue mobility of the functional unit is improved, which may include specific muscle stretches, neurodynamic mobilizations, joint mobilizations, orthotics, and strengthening muscle pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7850884/ Myofascial pain J R Fricton. Baillieres Clin Rheumatol. 1994 Nov. MFP is a regional muscle pain disorder characterized by localized muscle tenderness and pain and is the most common cause of persistent regional pain. The affected muscles may also display an increased fatiguability, stiffness, subjective weakness, pain on movement and slightly restricted range of motion that is unrelated to joint restriction. MFP is frequently overlooked as a diagnosis because it is often accompanied by signs and symptoms in addition to pain, coincidental pathological conditions, and behavioural and psychosocial problems The difficulty in managing MFP lies in the critical need to match the level of complexity of the management programme with the complexity of the patient's situation. Failure to address the entire problem, through a team approach if needed, may lead to failure to resolve the pain and perpetuation of a chronic pain syndrome. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16259310/ A review of myofascial pain and fibromyalgia--factors that promote their persistence Robert D Gerwin. Acupunct Med. 2005 Sep Chronic muscle pain (myalgia) is a common problem throughout the world. Seemingly simple, it is actually a difficult problem for the clinician interested in determining the aetiology of the pain, as well as in managing the pain. The two common muscle pain conditions are fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome. The problem these syndromes pose lies not in making the diagnosis of muscle pain. Rather, it is the need to identify the underlying cause(s) of persistent or chronic muscle pain in order to develop a specific treatment plan. Chronic in myalgia may not improve until the underlying precipitating or perpetuating factor(s) are themselves managed. Precipitating or perpetuating causes of chronic myalgia include structural or mechanical causes like scoliosis, localised joint hypomobility, or generalised or local joint laxity; and metabolic factors like depleted tissue iron stores, hypothyroidism or Vitamin D deficiency. Sometimes, correction of an underlying cause of myalgia is all that is needed to resolve the condition. www.sciencedirect.com/topics/nursing-and-health-professions/myofascial-painMyofascial Pain Syndrome Andrea L. Nicol MD, MSc, ... F. Michael Ferrante MD, in Essentials of Pain Medicine (Fourth Edition), 2018 Myofascia l pain or regional musculoskeletal pain is one of the most common pain syndromes encountered in clinical practice. Myofascial pain represents the most common cause of chronic pain, including neck and shoulder pain, tension headaches, and lower back pain
these are life saving, paramount words. thank you for representing true medicine and most importantly of all: patience and compassion for your human kin. you are a true healer and academic mind, dr hanscom. i am eternally grateful i found your work. you are one of a few legendary practitioners i have encountered on my journey that began from inititally finding howard schubiner's work through learning of dr. john sarno. namaste

David H. Barlow good source on resilience and self-efficacy.
I am a cell biologist, you and Howard are great, listening to you both helps me more than any doc or therapist visits ever did. I had similar experience on a bridge 200 ft high, set off panic attacks for years. suppressed grief over mother's death and rocky marriage. Also rageaholic alcoholic father. Humans are very similar and can only cope with so much.
I hear you
Dr. Hanscom, I have a question if you could clarify. My surgeon showed me my MRI it disclosed spondylolisthesis and stenosis of my L4 L5 spine. My symptoms are pain in lower back, numbness in my feet and weakness in my leg when standing to long and walking a certain distance. He suggested fusion surgery. Can TMS still be the cause of this? Thank you in advance for any comments.
Wow , that’s all you got out this video? You must think you’re brilliant 😂
You atleast knew when it started. I am suffering since 1989 and I have no idea but you and Howard make pure sense.
Mark and his, then wife Delia did great work in the Kalahari studying to protect wildlife in their younger years
Wow! This is amazing
Thank you.
How can I buy the app about play? I’m not interested in the app called doc journey. You mentioned another app. about play. Please send info.
So does OCD cause the pain born with OCD prior to pain due to Asperger's add
Well for me I've found out I have Asperger's at 43 co 27 years some has changed so the OCD subconscious brain is hard hard to calm down
Amazing talk, thank you so much. I am struggling to overcome chronic anxiety and other related issues after a traumatic childhood (9/10 ACEs) and a not much better adulthood. Like you mentioned, I've become an "epiphany addict" and have tried so many things hoping to find the magic cure. You've perfectly articulated what I've tried to explain to many people: anxiety is physiological. You can't 'think' your way out of it. Your video has really clarified things for me and given me many suggestions to nurture and work into my life. Will you be writing a book specifically on anxiety? I really hope so. Thank you for your important contributions and continued efforts to help people ❤
Also, will your app be available in the UK any time soon please? Many thanks.
going to try...
Thank you so much I’m with you all!and experimenting on myself!so glad I’m not alone ❤ the very best wishes to you!🌊🦋🌟🌟🌟🌟💗🌸🌊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank u from uk 🇬🇧 I hv pain all time

Thank you Dr. Hanscom for sharing your knowledge !
Love this!
Wow! This is totally related to Dr. Sarno’s work, it’s really nice to hear this from a surgeon. ❤️

Hi Jessica, There are many ways to do this and I created an action plan of the sequencing. Here is a link to my resources and feel free to reach out to me at dnhanscom@gmail.com. Thanks for checking in. backincontrol.com/resources-2/ Best regards, David Hanscom
amazing talk, I cancelled my surgery last month because of you Dr. Hanscom, thank you. although I have structural stuff in my L 4/5 /i have had trauma and life long anxiety, I am just starting with your books.
Hi Tony, I am happy you found the talk helpful and I trust you are doing well. If you have not already found this link, this is the one to my resources: backincontrol.com/resources-2/. Feel free to reach out with any questions at my email at dnhanscom@gmail.com. Best regards, David Hanscom
I have a neurosurgeon appt for back pain next week. I’m thinking of canceling to give this a try first.
@@DrDavidHanscom do you see.many get better with Asperger's add I've found out why I've had TMS decades these two things make us highly anxious
Yes, you can "rehab" a painful tooth. Book "Cure Tooth Decay"
Thank you this is so helpful
This is very hard to believe. All he did was write down his feelings? I call bullshit
Hi Debbie- thanks for your input! I agree it sounds a bit odd, ok, a bit worse than odd, but it worked for me- feel free to get in touch with me- hotmail, gmail, twitter, substack and I'll give you more info. I'm trying to get a group of people to get a trial going so that we take out some of the scepticism- would you be interested in helping out? Stuart Wiffin
How can you call bullshit on something that clearly works. Dumbass
I wish I could understand your accent
For anyone having trouble understanding because it seems like poor quality audio: use headphones or a good speaker. The audio mix here is heavy on the low frequencies and most laptop or phone speakers will have a hard time reproducing them. Most headphones or bluetooth speakers should have no problem and the audio should become much clearer for you.
It's not the audio that's the problem, the audio is good, it's the fact that he talks way to fast and doesn't enunciate words properly, that makes it difficult listening to.
That's a FACT!
Looking for your book now
Your work is so important, I'd hate for people to not hear what's said because the volume is too low. I have to play this at twice the volume as other youtube videos. Not everyone will be listening on a device that plays this loud. Maybe you can get your assistant to adjust volume on some of the videos. Here's a tutorial ua-cam.com/video/GbimPS_YWr0/v-deo.html
Life changing. Watch it and read the book.
Is this method applicable to me? I have L4-L5 Spondylisthesis, HNP (surgeon said the disk was "squashed"), stenosis. I watched GMA this AM and it was noted that patients with structural problems (like mine) are not good candidates. Is this true?
Yes, this method is applicable to you! Many people have what you have but have no pain at all. Chronic pain is like digging a trench in the soil. Those trenches get deeper and deeper as you dig. You want to change that pattern within your own brain. Nicole Sachs had the same thing as you and got over her chronic pain by expressive writing just like Dr. Hanscom believes in. You can find her also on UA-cam. Also get Dr. Hanscom’s book. Good luck!
@@crh251 Thanks.

I cannot believe that. Seems to me like another marketing stuff for selling a book. Sorry. How can I change the physics of my spinal bones simply by some kind of meditation...that is impossible.
You obviously don't get it if you think he's saying meditation changes physics. You need to read his book.
Mixi, you’re not changing the physics of your bones. That’s impossible. You are changing the neural pathways in your brain causing the pain. He was making more money doing spinal surgeries than writing a book. Besides Dr. Hanscom, look up Dr. John Sarno, Dr. Howard Schubiner, Steve Ozanich, and Nicole Sachs.
@@crh251Despite the similarities and blessing from Sarno, I wouldn't put Ozanich in that group. He's almost verbatim Sarno, the others (I don't know about Sachs) have added to and progressed the work.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and for the enlightenment surrounding the effects of chronic stress. Profound findings.
The actions of self esteem come first, the feelings of self esteem follow. Treat yourself with respect, pay attention to yourself, advocate for yourself...just like you would a loved one. Take action first...the feelings will follow.
Can heavy lifting that causes sciatica pain be mind body pain? MRI doesn’t show any reason for the sciatica pain. Mildly bulging discs but they don’t touch the sciatic nerve. But every time I do any lifting over 30 lbs I develop pain down my leg into my foot. I had a microdiscectomy about 10 years ago to relieve the pain. The surgeon was reluctant but I really wanted it. It helped but didn’t completely get rid of the pain. Now I am wondering if my brain “memorized” the pain? The only thing that helps is Dexamethasone.
I have Anxiety, and this is true. You're trying to manage the symptoms and your daily life, at the same time. In my case: The worst part is when people gaslight you, and they keep making demands. Like my condition somehow doesn't exist. (Which caused me to drop-out of society altogether.) I mean.... Who wouldn't be upset about it?
This is my life 😔

I feel terrible for a lady who is using this system. Her primary MD and case manager just dropped the ball after she was released from rehab. The doctor is a most uncaring one and has set no attainable goals for her. He seems to lack joy in the field he has chosen. He must sense that my friend will not advocate for herself and just accept what this soulless doctor tells her.. She lives in a rural area and was released without proper equipment and the follow up of physical therapy or any follow up care. for that matter. Worker's Comp for this lady has been ineffective. No wonder patients seek attorneys.
