MAKING YOUR BAD BACK BETTER

WITH

THE O'CONNOR TECHNIQUE

 HOW YOU CAN BECOME YOUR OWN CHIROPRACTOR

     This is a unique spinal pain relief therapeutic and educational

opportunity only offered by Dr. William T. O'Connor, M.D.  The spinal pain

patient that appoints with Dr. O'Connor is personally educated and treated

with the method described in his website: www.backpainoconnor.com .  Within a

1-2 hour office visit, Dr. O'Connor can establish the diagnosis, physically

manipulate, and educate the patient in the means to prevent future pain in

over 90% of patients.  This therapy can also be self-taught through the

website which was based upon the original book described below

The book is a self-help manual that begins by describing the state-of-the-art

with respect to back pain management and briefly elaborates on historical,

contemporary, practitioner-mediated and  other self-administered back pain

therapies, comparing all with The O'Connor Technique's method of backache

management. It then reviews the anatomy and pathology of the spinal

intervertebral discs (so as to educate the reader in the standard terminology

necessary to understand the concepts) followed by a previously unpublished and

elsewhere unavailable physical means to self-diagnose the source of back pain,

neck pain, and backache. Then, through an instructional set of principles it

carefully explains the mechanical forces that naturally act on the spine and

how these forces can be controlled and capitalized upon to relieve and prevent

spinal pain. Foremost, it advances an unique and revolutionary method of

spinal pain therapy and spinal pain prevention by teaching individuals with

the most common forms of back and neck pain how to manipulate their own spinal

intervertebral disks to achieve pain relief, restore lost range-of-motion,

avoid surgery, and prevent future pain and disability. It finishes by

specifically targeting many of the activities of daily life which are

especially associated with back pain and the author's perspective on optional

therapies available.

The book and especially the self-administered physical therapy aspect was

written to be read from a back pain sufferer's perspective, in lay language;

however it was also intentionally written with sufficient technical detail so

that a physical therapist, massage therapist, Chiropractor, or physician can

apply the identical principles to patients in order to diagnose back pain or

neck pain, relieve backache or neck ache, and prevent their back pain or neck

pain from re-occurring.

No other existing back pain therapy, backache therapy, or neck pain therapy

offered by the medical establishment, or available to the public through any

media, approaches the successfulness of The O'Connor Technique in its ability

to not only address immediate, acute back pain or chronic backache; but, over

the life of the individual, it teaches how the painful biological process of

degenerative disc disease can be avoided and, this previously believed to be

relentless process, prevented from advancing at the rate it otherwise might.

In the universe of back pain books, one book could not relevantly address or

specifically hope to treat every form of back pain. The O'Connor Technique

(tm) is based upon the uniquely determined clinical understanding that the

overwhelming majority of back pain originates from spinal mechanical problems

in which the fibro-cartilaginous material of the intervertebral disc has been

physically displaced or herniated. Often, this condition is correctly

diagnosed as Mechanical Back Pain, Acute Back Pain, Chronic Back Pain,

Functional Backache, Spinal Soft Tissue Injury, Connective Tissue Injury, Low

Back Sprain, Back Strain, Lumbar Strain, Lumbar Sprain, Ligamentous Strain,

Ligamentous Sprain, Lumbar Ligament Strain, Lumbar Ligament Sprain, Lumbar

Disc Degeneration, (Lumbar Disk Degeneration), Low Backache, Chronic Backache,

Acute Backache, Spinal Disease, Disc Disease (or Disk Disease), Intervertebral

Disc Disease (or Intervertebral Disk Disease), Slipped Disc (or Slipped Disk),

Spinal Disc Disease (or Spinal Disk Disease), Herniated Disc (or Herniated

Disk), Herniated Intervertebral Disc (or Herniated Intervertebral Disk),

Spinal Disc Protrusion, (or Spinal Disk Protrusion), Degenerative Disc

Disease, (or Degenerative Disk Disease), Pinched Disk or Pinched Disc, Acute

Neck Pain, Chronic Neck Pain, Cervical Disc Herniation, Cervical Disk

Protrusion, Cervical Ligament Sprain, Cervical Ligament Strain, or Sciatica.

However, too, many times it is incorrectly diagnosed as Spinal Arthritis,

Spinal Facet Joint Disease, Spinal Misalignment, Spinal Malalignment, Spinal

Subluxation, Spondylosis, Facet Syndrome, Facet Arthritis, Degenerative Facet

Disease, Spinal Osteoarthritis, Sacroiliitis, Muscle Sprain, Muscle Strain,

Pulled Muscles, Muscle Spasms of the Back Muscles, Fibromyalgia, Fibrositis,

Pinched Nerve, Nerve Root Syndrome, Radiculopathy, Shoulder Pain, Wry Neck

Syndrome, Whiplash, Torticullis, Sacroileitis, Lumbago, or Scoliosis. Persons

with these diagnoses should make an attempt to confirm or discount these

diagnoses by engaging The O'Connor Technique (tm) of self-diagnosing your disk

(see excerpt below).

The prospective reader can rapidly determine if their particular back pain is

most likely caused by a disc problem amenable to The O'Connor Technique (tm)

as well as quantify for themselves the probability of benefit by taking tests

provided in the book. The book as well as its companion web site start off

with a written test (see excerpt below) that selects for those whose back pain

or neck pain problems most likely can be helped by The O'Connor Technique (tm)

and largely eliminates those persons who probably will not benefit by it. The

more a reader's back problem correlates with affirmative responses to the

written test, the higher the probability they will receive back pain or neck

pain relief. Too, the book describes a physical method in which back pain

sufferers themselves can, by making specially designed postural movements,

confirm the nature of their problem with a self-performed physical diagnostic

test (see excerpt below). Once the reader is convinced that this book

addresses their problem, a self-manipulative method, similar to chiropractic,

but exceeding it in efficacy, is described to relocate the displaced disc

material and prevent it from dislocating again, without tiring, repetitive,

exercises or expensive devices.

Of note is the fact that it is not necessary for the reader to digest the

entire 400 pages, the book may be used compartmentally, allowing the reader to

go quickly to the sections pertaining to their specific pain area, without

reading the entire manual; however, since most low back pain sufferers

eventually have pain in other segments of the spine, the neck and the thorax

are also treated individually. The over 110 illustrations and 220 photographs

in the book help make the concepts and directions, although novel, easy to

understand and perform.
