Philosophy THE PRACTICE: a pain and stress treatment program aimed at getting rid of your pain problem. This is a hands-on physical approach. I work on both the muscles and the joints, and on the kind of chemical imbalance you see in pain and stress syndromes. THE PHILOSOPHY In chronic pain syndromes there are three factors, problems with the muscles, with the joints, and with a chemical imbalance. That working on two of the three factors will be more effective than working on only one of them; that working on all three factors is more effective than working on just two. It’s a natural approach- treatments that really work are treatments that help the body to return to more normal functioning, and that once the body is functioning normally, there is no pain. THE DOCTOR I am a medical doctor, and am a graduate of Albany Medical College, upstate New York. I have completed residencies in both Internal Medicine and Psychiatry. But I have limited my practice to pain and stress relief since 1982. How this came about: Twenty years ago, I set out to find things that really did work in chronic pain. One by one, as I began to do these things, and as I learned more, I began to combine them. I became flabbergasted with the positive results of combining multiple disciplines, and decided to restrict my practice to pain relief.
