M.D. INVENTS NON-SURGICAL METHOD TO REPLACE HERNIATED SPINAL DISKS

February 2, 2005 (Press Release) -- Most orthopedists would claim that only surgery can solve the problem of a herniated intervertebral disk. However, a Vacaville, California doctor, William T. O'Connor, M.D., says the most common cause of back pain, neck pain, sciatica, and whiplash can be treated bio-mechanically without the scalpel, and he has NMRI evidence to prove that meritorious medical findings do not only originate from University learning centers. Even though people find it hard to believe an individual doctor could solve a problem that has defied competent management for ages, not only does he routinely perform this extraordinary feat in his office; but, in a process he refers to as "cyberhealing," he claims to have reached out to people thousands of miles away, without ever touching them, and ended their pain over the internet by teaching them specific, sequential, body movements, without exhausting or repetitive exercises.
He has discovered that therapeutic mechanical forces can be gently applied in a painless, self-administered, manner for often instant relief from the overwhelming majority of back, neck, central shoulder, and buttock pain caused by displacement of the spine’s intervertebral disc material, even though it is usually attributed to muscle spasm, ligament sprain, arthritis, bulging discs, slipped discs, pinched nerves, whiplash, stiff neck, sciatica, torticollis, or fibromyalgia. His website (www.backpainoconnor.com), unique to the history of medicine, teaches the user to self-diagnose and manipulate their own spines as well as documents his amazing successes with testimonials and affidavits.
He believes that: "There is no reason for so many people to continue suffering hopelessly, living with the depression and anxiety of foreseeing the remainder of their lives in such agony, and sustaining the economic tragedy that back pain or neck pain predisposes if there is a reasonable chance for its resolution. After understanding even the free material, the reader will (at the very least) no longer be intimidated into tolerating the implied accusations of malingering or “psychological overlay” rationalized by other providers who have little or no personal insight into this form of pain's cause, severity, or solution. With an understanding and application of the method, anyone of average intelligence can be empowered to solve their own problem in spite of the current therapeutic environment wherein no better pain management method exists."
Wayne Burgett, a man Dr. O'Connor has never met, seen, or spoken to says in an email: "I'm cured!!!! For the first time in the many years I had periodically suffered severe back pain, I realized it was a Disc Problem. I turned onto my stomach and leaned to my left, the pain disappeared. The next day I subscribed and did the Hip-Hang Maneuver. I have been pain free ever since."
