Tension Myositis Syndrome Sciatica
What is Tension Myositis Syndrome Sciatica?TMS is the name of the condition first diagnosed by Dr. John Sarno at the NYU Medical Center in New York City. Dr. Sarno had worked in rehabilitation medicine for some time and realized that the nature of most medical treatments for back pain and sciatica were unenlightened and ineffective. While this occurs to many doctors, John Sarno actually did something about it and created a stir when he began researching the mind/body interactions which might be responsible for causing back pain.Over the course of decades, Dr. Sarno created the Tension Myositis Diagnosis and the subsequent treatment called knowledge therapy. TMS is a physical anatomical pain syndrome which is directly initiated and perpetuated by a purely psycho-emotional process. This doctrine was considered a revolution in medicine by some open minded health professionals and scientific heresy by others… Tension Myositis Syndrome Sciatica Facts* Dr. Sarno originally used his TMS theory to treat back pain in the muscles, hence the name “myositis" (muscular pain).* Dr. Sarno has slowly expanded the diagnosis to include a wide range of symptomatic conditions throughout the body. The name TMS stuck, despite the condition outgrowing the limitation of the nomenclature. * Dr. Sarno has been hailed as a hero by millions and a villain by others. * The medical establishment has been reluctant to accept Dr. Sarno’s brilliant work, mostly due to the economic implications it creates for the incredibly profitable back pain treatment industry. * TMS treatment takes the power to heal out of the hands of doctors and places it firmly in the hands of every affected patient. The treatment has no risks and no side effects and can be found for free at the local library. Even patients who choose to buy their own knowledge therapy books will typically spend $10 to $50, all told… Tension Myositis Syndrome Sciatica AdviceI truly believe that Dr. Sarno’s TMS theories will surely become the future of healthcare. This will take time, but will certainly occur once the truth of the condition is accepted to the point where it can not be refuted in any way, shape or form. This process is already occurring, with more care providers recognizing the validity of the TMS diagnosis.I personally believe that the TMS name will have to go, since it inaccurately describes the pain in many patients. I am sure Dr. Sarno also realizes how limiting the name has become at this point, especially when describing such wide ranging symptoms as general anxiety, paroxysmal hypertension and carpal tunnel syndrome... I owe Dr. Sarno more than I could ever pay, since he was the driving force behind my own personal back pain cure. I am lucky to have found him and have used his simple program to rebuild my life after it was torn apart by the ravages of acute and chronic back pain. Thank you Dr. Sarno and the world truly owes you for your life’s work… 7/11/08 Revised 12/17/09
