Fact: You can begin enjoying
a life with
no more back pain if your treatment program has the following elements:
1) promotion of self sufficiency
2)
limited medication use
3) encourages activity and...
4) based on
sound science.
To speed up your
recovery, you must implement a system that can capitalize on all four
of these treatment elements.

Dear Back Pain Sufferer,
Over the past 27 years, I have treated nearly 30,000 patients suffering
with sciatica and back pain. And, in tracking the effectiveness of my
treatment approach, these patients have enjoyed a 91.7% success
rate - that's somewhere near 27,510 people I have been able to
help reduce and, in most cases, completely get rid of their pain.
But, because of the affordability and ease of use of the Internet, as well as for reasons I will explain later, I now have the ability to share what I've learned about eliminating sciatica and back pain with the entire world and give you the opportunity to get the exact same results as the patients who visit my office.
So, no matter what your diagnosis, or how long you've been in pain, or what type of treatment you've had in the past, there's a very good chance I've encountered your particular condition on multiple occasions.
And because I have, no doubt, seen your condition before and have heard stories probably very similar to yours, I can safely say (with 91.7% accuracy) that my "back pain relief system" will help you resolve your pain... improve your function... and change your life.
Please keep reading because I'm going to share my system with you today and, at the very least, give you some hope about what your life could be like tomorrow.
But before I do, I need to help you understand a few facts and dispel some of the common myths surrounding sciatica and back pain...
Thanks, But I Already Understand The Facts.
Please Help Me End My Back Pain Now
Back Pain Facts
Having treated
nearly 30,000 back pain sufferers over the past 27
years, I have answered many questions related to sciatica and back
pain.
In reviewing the recent medical literature, the following facts have
been reported related to sciatica and back pain:
Fact:
Back pain is the second leading reason people
seek
medical attention
Fact: Back pain
will affect 80% of people at some point in their life
Fact: Most back
pain episodes resolve quickly
Fact: Physically
fit people have less back pain
Fact: Back pain is
usually NOT
the result of a serious condition
Fact: Back pain is
usually NOT
caused by slipped discs or pinched nerves
Fact: An MRI CANNOT tell
exactly where the pain is coming from
Fact: Surgery is NOT the
only answer for back pain or sciatica
I hope these facts answer some of your questions and dispel some of
the common misconceptions about back pain. So with that, lets
take a closer look at how to best treat your back pain and have you
start enjoying your life again.
But, before we get into the particulars of the treatment process, I
think it’s important for you to understand that medical research has
indicated that most treatment options
are literally…
Doomed From The Start
In a review of the scientific evidence of the causes, diagnosis, and
treatment of back pain published by the Swedish Council on Technology
Assessment in Health Care (SBU), medical researchers, Alf Nachemson,
MD, PhD and Eggon Jonsson, PhD, cite three reasons why your efforts to
end your sciatica
or back pain may be “doomed” to failure right from the start.
Reason 1:
X-rays,
MRIs, and CT scans only tell part of
your back pain story. Unfortunately, most doctors aren't trained to
determine the reason why the structures of your spine look the way they
do. Consequently, a diagnosis based entirely on the imaging studies of
your back is usually made. This means that the underlying cause of your
back pain often times will go undiagnosed and untreated.
The reason doctors rely so heavily on imaging studies is
because fewer than 50% of the medical schools train their students how
to perform a systematic musculoskeletal exam, much less a comprehensive
spinal assessment. That’s why most doctors just prescribe medications
or refer you to other specialists. The most you can hope for when going
to a medical doctor is a little bit of short-term relief.
Reason 2:
In a
comprehensive
review of conservative treatment methods (including massage, pain
relief ointments or creams, nonspecific exercise, ultrasound,
electrical stimulation, moist heat, traction, acupuncture, etc.) for
chronic lower back pain, none were shown to have any lasting effect on
back pain.
These treatment approaches address only the symptoms and
ignore the underlying cause of the problem.
Reason 3:
Most back
pain treatment programs are
“generic” meaning they're the same for everybody. You know what I’m
talking about. You go to the doctor or physical therapist and you’re
given a sheet of exercises like the one you see to the left.
Look, if you had high cholesterol, would your doctor hand you a bulb of
garlic and tell you to eat a clove a day for 30 days? Of course not!
You would receive a prescription of something like Lipitor with precise
instructions of how and when to take it. So how can you expect for your
back to feel better if the only thing you do are "over the
counter exercises"?
This approach simply doesn’t work yet sadly it’s the standard of care
for most medical practitioners. Doesn't it make much
more sense to treat your back pain with a detailed program that
addresses the cause of the problem and not the symptoms?
But how could you have known any of this? You just want your back to
stop hurting and you trust the “experts” to guide and advise you,
right?
If this has been your experience, I think you'll agree with what the
medical research reports: Back pain treatment is doomed from the start.
So you may be asking yourself…
“If Most Sciatica And
Back Pain Treatment
Efforts Are Doomed To Failure, Is There Any Hope For
My Particular Condition?”
Actually there is. Let me explain…
What you’re looking at here is a diagram of the cascading events that
take place in the typical degenerative process.
So starting at the top, there is some type of minor trauma or
repetitive stress that leads to pain and disuse.
Over time, this results in adaptive tissue changes. In other
words, some tissues shorten or tighten up and some tissues weaken or
lose their strength. These are the muscle imbalances that you’ll
hear me talk about.
As time goes on, these soft tissue changes will eventually result in
structural changes. That’s where we see the arthritic joint
changes, disc herniation, stenosis, etc
And along with these changes, there is a significant reduction
in mobility, which, over time, results in scar tissue formation and
ultimately leading to chronic pain and disability.
In looking at the most current research regarding the effectiveness of
back pain treatment, the SBU and the International Spine Society have
issued 4
consensus recommendations about sciatica and back pain treatment:
Back Pain Treatment Recommendation #1: Treatment should be geared towards preventing disability and improving the patient’s quality of life. In other words, we need to teach the patient about how to become more self sufficient in the management of his or her own condition and become less reliant on the medical system.
Back Pain Treatment Recommendation #2: Long-term drug therapy is simply not effective in managing back pain and should be avoided.
Back Pain Treatment Recommendation #3: Manual therapy or manipulation is an effective treatment method in reducing pain.
Back Pain Treatment Recommendation #4: Exercise therapy is effective in the restoration of daily function.
Bottom line: The #1 goal in treating sciatica and back
pain is to keep you active.
And the best way to do that is with a...
Functional Spinal Restoration Program
Now as solid as these treatment recommendations are,
there are
essential key elements missing that will help to better define how to
effectively get to the source of the problem and treat it more
efficiently.
So, in addition to the above-mentioned recommendations, the following
elements have been identified as being necessary for effective spinal
treatment:
 |
A clear identification of functional deficits: One of the reasons treatment is "doomed" from the start is because the current level of clinical spinal assessment (an accurate diagnosis) is completely inadequate. |
|
Safely initiate, control, and sustain adaptive response: In order to facilitate an improvement in long-term outcomes, the "symptom only approach" needs to be avoided. |
|
Specific targeting of functional deficits: Current non-specific ("one size fits all approach") treatment methods are ineffective. |
|
Backed by sound science Our patients will not be well served by treatment methods and opinions that are unsupported by scientific evidence. |
Utilizing the collaborative work of the scientific
community, a functional spinal restoration approach is recommended for
the treatment of back pain.
Who Am I and Why Should You Even Listen To Me?
Since you almost
certainly have no clue who I am, I thought it would be appropriate to
introduce myself before we get too much further into this report.
My name is Malton Schexneider and for the past 27 years I have been a
nationally known educator, university professor, published author, and
practicing clinical specialist in orthopedic physical therapy.
I am regarded by my profession as a master clinician (which represents
only about 5% of all physical therapists) and earned that title by
maintaining a laser focus on becoming the best at what I do. In
addition to my clinical practice, I have been an author and contributor
to many prestigious publications including...
I am a highly sought after back pain specialist and
have successfully
treated over 25,000 people from all over the world – people just like
you who couldn’t be helped by anyone else. I've even had the
privilege of treating a few VIPs including celebrities, professional
athletes, doctors, other therapists, and chiropractors.
Having the reputation of being the back pain "guru", I was constantly
being bombarded with requests by physicians to come up with a back pain
program for their patients… something they could prescribe other than
pills… something the patient could do on their own...something that
worked.
So, together with a team of neurosurgeons, orthopaedic spine
specialists, and rehab professionals, I developed the...
5 Step Back Pain Treatment Methodology
Step
1: Understand how much back pain is affecting your life
Step 2: Identify
the location and behavior of your symptoms
Step 3: Determine
the underlying cause of the pain
Step 4: Treat the
cause not the symptoms
Step 5: Prevent the problem from
returning
Having successfully utilized these simple and effective
steps
to treat not only my own private patients but thousands of people from
across the United States and in 67 different countries world wide, it
has become my mission to remedy the misunderstandings associated with
sciatica and back pain, and
teach as many back pain sufferers about the benefits of the Finally No
More Back Pain Functional Spinal Rehabilitation Program™.
So now that you have a general understanding of the scientific basis behind sciatica and back pain treatment, let's take a more in depth look at each of these steps...
Step 1: To What
Extent Is
Sciatica or
Back Pain
Affecting Your Life?
Step 1 of the process is to help you start thinking
about what toll
back pain has had on your life. In other words, what has back
pain taken from you?
So what I’d like you to do is take a look at the list below and click
on the box next to the statement that really resonates with you – the
statement that causes you to say, “Yes, that’s me!”
|
You have difficulty sleeping at night and when you do manage to fall asleep, it's only for a few minutes leaving you exhausted and irritable in the morning. |
|
|
You feel a decreased sense of enjoyment in life - going to a movie, traveling, playing a round of golf, gardening - everything is such a chore that you'd just as soon do nothing than "pay the price" later. |
|
|
You eat painkillers, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammatory medications like candy - anything to try and stay ahead of the pain - but nothing seems to work anymore. |
|
|
You have low energy and stamina, poor self-esteem, and you've even noticed a decrease in your libido. |
|
|
You have difficulty performing the most simple tasks like getting dressed, cooking, cleaning house, going for a walk, shopping, or simply relaxing around the house. You can't even find a comfortable position to sit or stand for any length of time. |
|
|
You're constantly battling feelings of frustration and depression because you can't enjoy your normal life. |
|
|
You feel grumpy and irritable all the time - you're convinced people are tired of hearing you complain and, truthfully, you just don't feel very sociable. |
|
|
You find it difficult to concentrate and can't seem to accomplish anything at work. |
|
|
You've spent a small fortune on doctor visits, medications, and even the "miracle cures" you've seen on late night TV, but its all been a waste of time and money. |
|
|
You feel just plain defeated all the time and you're constantly wondering, "Will this pain ever go away?" |
Now the purpose of this exercise isn't to depress you. No, it's to get you thinking about what you're missing out on and to help you formulate some goals.
With any good sciatica or back pain treatment plan, understanding what you want to ultimately accomplish helps with your recovery.
Once your goals are established, we can move on to step 2...
Step 2: Where Are Your Symptoms Located And What Are They Really Telling You?
Before you can
resolve your particular problem, it’s important that you get crystal
clear on where your symptoms are located and how far your symptoms
travel.
This is important because the location of your symptoms has been shown
to have some predictive factor in determining the cause of your
problem.
I want you to take a close look at the images to
the right. Do you see an image that closely resembles the pattern
of your symptoms?
Now that you’ve identified your symptom pattern,
what are these symptoms telling you about the
likely underlying cause of your problem?
Scroll down the page until you see the image you
selected. Click the audio player button you see below the image
and listen to my explanation of what’s likely at the root of your pain.
Note:
For symptoms that affect either your right or left side, I’m only
showing the image for right-sided symptoms. So if your symptoms
are on the left, click the button anyway.

Once we have a good idea of the location
and likely underlying cause of
your pain, we need to screen for any red flags and assess the behavior
of your symptoms.
So on the left is a typical medical history form that will alert me to any red flags
And on the right is a symptom behavior form that helps me determine how your symptoms respond to different stimuli and creates a time line for me to follow so that I can make some assumptions with regard to cause and effect.
Let’s turn our attention now to step 3...
Step 3: Determining The Underlying Cause of the Pain
Step 4: Treating The Cause Not The Symptom
The key here is a targeted
functional rehabilitation program that is based on the most
current medical research.
And, once we get control over the
immediate problem, our next goal is to...
Step 5: Prevent The Problem From Ever Returning
Here are the results of a study published in Spine Journal a few years
ago that tracked the recurrence of pain in a group of individuals that
had participated in a functional rehabilitation program
Group 1: 100 of the participants were to continue with a maintenance program following the initial functional restoration program
Group 2: The remaining 25 participants were to perform no maintenance program at all.
After 2 years, about 9% of the
maintenance group reported some recurrence in pain while all 25 of the
non-maintenance group reported a recurrence of pain.
This study demonstrates the importance of not only treating back pain
with a Functional Restoration Program, but clearly identifies the
importance of maintaining some form of maintenance following the
initial program.
So...
What Can You Really Expect From This Type of Treatment Approach?
Listen… I don’t know much about your back pain right now… but if you're
like 90% of most back pain sufferers, I DO know that this 5 step
treatment approach, will help you
achieve the lasting sciatica and back pain relief you desire.
Here are just a few benefits you too
will experience...
It Won't Help Everyone
Obviously, anyone with sciatica or back pain who wishes to utilize any type of treatment program should first consult with and seek clearance from your doctor.
But… if you have any of the following symptoms associated with your back pain, I INSIST that you seek immediate medical attention:
In Summary, Here's
What You Should Know

Well Here's the Bad News...
There's a very good chance the Finally No More Back Pain Functional Spinal Rehabilitation Program™ is not right for you...
For starters, it isn't an inexpensive program. Here's why:
- I've spent the better part of my career developing
the back pain relief strategies I'll be sharing with
you, so I can't, in good conscious, just give it away.
It wouldn't be fair to my existing private patients and I firmly
believe
a man (or woman) should be compensated for their hard work - especially
given the amount of time I'll put in to helping you quickly resolve
your personal back pain issue.
- I also want to discourage "doctor hoppers" and
other "energy vampires" from joining because I know
they'll add nothing to the community I'm building and just drain me of
energy - energy that should be going to help you resolve your problem.
- Finally, I want you to value the program I develop for you. Yes, I could give it away and hope to "spread the word" that way, but I know a large portion of people wouldn't actually use the program and get the results they're looking for and the entire reason I'm doing this would fall completely apart!
Prior to writing this report I did a lot
of research to find
out what other people are charging for their back pain relief systems.
The
prices range from $5 for useless "symptom only" treatment products that
we've
already talked about, all the way up to $5,000 for a spinal
decompression regimen which, by the way, has been recently shown not to
be effective (Schimmel, et al. European
Spine
Journal, 2009).
So based on my research (and an
understanding where my system
falls in the "quality continuum") my plan was to sell my customized
back pain relief program for $700 but discount it to $500 as a way of
promoting my back pain relief services.
"I Really Do Want All Back Pain Sufferers To Have Access To These Powerful Pain Relief Strategies..."
So here's what I ultimately decided...
First, to make absolutely certain my
program is right for you,
I'm going
to give you a full 60 day guarantee. If it doesn't work, you get
your money back... no risk or
obligation. You can even keep the materials as my way of saying
thanks for trying my system.
Do You Really Need A Custom Program?
So instead of overspending on therapeutic intervention you don’t necessarily need, I’m going to give you instant access to my Medical Exercise Training Pain Relief Program self-treatment system for $77. You can literally be applying these powerful back pain relief strategies to your particular condition in about 10 minutes.
Click the link below to watch and listen as a few of my private clients tell their personal stories about their back pain and how my program helped them...
Like I said, this program works for the majority of my patients and it will very likely work for you as well. It's a safe and easy way for you to quickly say goodbye to your sciatica or back pain today.
