People with Chronic Pain
Research has shown that stenosis, bulging discs, and arthritis are not what cause pain. In fact, you can take two people with the same structural abnormalities shown on an MRI and one will have pain and one will not. Why do you think that is?

What is TMS?
John Sarno, a professor of rehabilitation medicine at New York University school of medicine, has helped thousands of people in chronic pain that the medical community was not able to.

He calls this Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS).
