How You Can Become Your Own Chiropractor

Making Your Bad Back Better with The O'Connor Technique

This back pain, neck pain, and backache therapy website is a derivative work of the book, MAKING YOUR BAD BACK BETTER, with The O'Connor Technique (tm), How You Can Become Your Own Chiropractor, by William Thomas O'Connor, Jr., M.D.. It exists as a diagnosis and treatment oriented educational manual designed to address back pain, neck pain, and backache (which in most cases originates from spinal degenerative disc disease of the neck, upper back, and lumbar (low back) spinal regions, including whip lash, stiff neck, pinched nerves, sciatica, torticullis, arthritis, fibromyalgia, low back sprain, myofascial strain, lumbago, muscle spasms, cervical spondylosis, lumbar spondylosis, lower back pain, slipped discs, and even most shoulder and hip pain, since the author discovered that all can be largely attributed to herniated intervertebral disks and degenerative disk disease and can be alleviated by means other than costly medicines, physical therapy treatments, expensive devices, chiropractic manipulation, or exhausting exercises. The author, as a result of his private practice clinical experience, can honestly make the claim that he can alleviate the overwhelming majority of back pain, neck pain, and backache, restore the lost range of motion, prevent spinal pain recurrences, and even resolve torticullis and adult onset scoliosis . It may sound impossible, but if you actually take the time to read the website's FREE contents there is a very high probabiity that you can end the tyranny of spinal disk pain as have so many others (see TESTIMONIALS.)

The "webbook" begins by describing the state-of-the art in back pain management elaborating on historical, contemporary, practitioner-mediated, and self-administered therapy, comparing all with The O'Connor Technique (tm) 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(so as to educate the reader in the standard terminology necessary to understand the concepts) followed by a previously unpublished and elsewhere unavailable physical means to self-diagnose the source of back, neck, and shoulder pain. 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 directed to relieve and prevent spinal pain. Foremost, it advances a revolutionary method of diagnosis, therapy, and prevention by teaching individuals with the most common forms of back and neck pain how to manipulate their own herniated spinal intervertebral discs to achieve relief, restore lost range-of-motion, avoid surgery, and avoid future agony and disability. It finishes by specifically targeting those activities of daily life which are especially associated with back pain and the author's perspective on available optional therapies .

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, alleviate, and prevent pain of spinal origin.

In the universe of therapy books, one book could not relevantly address or hope to specifically treat every form of back pain. The O'Connor Technique (tm) is based upon the author's independently discovered clinical understanding that the overwhelming majority of back pain originates from a spinal mechanical injury in which the fibro-cartilaginous material of the intervertebral disc has been physically displaced or herniated. Herniated Discs ( or Disks ) are sometimes referred to as having been slipped discs, protruded discs, disk protrusions, bulging discs, or degenerative disks. Often, this source of low back pain, neck pain, backache, stiff neck, whiplash, torticullis, arthritis, sciatica, sprain, or shoulder pain, is correctly diagnosed as originating from a herniated disc and categorized as degenerative disc disease; however, it is often mis-diagnosed as well.

A more complete listing for those conditions can be reviewed to determine
if a person's given diagnosis most likely can be addressed by this method. (CLICK HERE)
Persons with these elaborated diagnoses should make an attempt to confirm or discount their diagnosis
by engaging in self-diagnosing your disc.

The prospective reader can rapidly determine if their particular back pain is most likely caused by a herniated disc problem amenable to this spinal pain relief therapy as well as quantify the probability of benefit by taking the tests provided in the webbook. An ideal start is with the written test which largely selects those whose problems most likely can be helped and eliminates those who probably will not benefit by it. The more a reader's problem correlates with affirmative responses to the written test, the higher the probability they will receive relief. Too, the book describes a physical means by which disc disease sufferers themselves can, by making specially designed postural movements, confirm the nature of their problem with a self-performed physical diagnostic test . Once the reader is convinced that this webbook 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 and the website 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 website and the book help make the concepts and directions, although novel, easy to understand and perform.

If currently in acute pain, don't hesitate to accept the free offering by reading the IN PAIN NOW section of this website. I would wager that no prior practitioner has imparted even this simple means to temporary relief given therein; and if they did, they charged alot of money for the information. Here it is given freely. I give a great deal of The O'Connor Technique (tm) away without expectation for compensation because I want to be certain that the readers are amply convinced that I know what I am talking about and that they will receive information that is appropriate for their needs. I feel I can afford to be generous because the material offered herein is so far ahead of the standard, conventional, treatments and therapy that it will take years for the alternative programs and optional therapies (that rely upon the laboriously slow process of academic education and methodology) to arrive at the advanced understandings that I have developed in the creation of this technique.
