Pain is Not What We Were Taught
One of the reasons people do not find standard medicine pain treatment more effective is that: Pain is not what we were taught. It is not likely to be coming from your spine, discs, nerves, blood vessels, muscle imbalances, joints, arthritis, or even inflammation as we were taught to understand it. So, treatment directed at these suspected causes just does not work as well as you would like.
At the Blatman Health and Wellness Center we teach: The Blatman Method for Understanding and Treating Pain. This method is based on 5 rules:
- You cannot believe the pain comes from where you feel it. Your headache does not come from your head, blood vessels or nerves. Pain in your left arm could be a heart attack.
- It is not important to diagnose what you think the pain feels like. In fact, your brain cannot tell the difference between sharp, dull, achy, stabbing, numbness, tingling, burning, and more. They all can have the same cause.
- The only thing you can really believe is what you can touch and feel.
- Where you are specifically tender, millimeter by millimeter, represents the injuries and kinks in your fascia from a lifetime of injuries that are the root cause of most of your pain.
- No matter how long you have had the pain, and no matter what you have been told is your diagnosis – as quickly as you unkink your fascia and get your body to regrow and strengthen hold together on the inside – the pain you had will already be gone.

During your First Visit for Pain
During your first visit for pain our plan is this triad:
- You will feel, learn, and understand the injuries through your lifetime that happened to cause your pain.

- You will be started on a program with physical techniques that you can do mostly yourself, and some of your pain may already be better before you leave the office.
