I think some tmser's who live in and around the Seatle area may find this information useful and may want to have an appointment with this doctor.
Dr. David Hanscom wrote the book: "Back in Control: A Spine Surgeon’s Roadmap Out of Chronic Pain".
He said: "I am a surgeon who gets paid very well for performing surgery. When a spine surgeon says, “don’t do this operation–listen!”

Absolutely Balto, doctors are some of the most intelligent in our society. They know how to research and separate the real science from quack science and voo-doo. All the TMS doctors suffered from unsolvable personal pain until they finally found Dr. Sarno and learned about the other side of the pain equation--the emotional underpinnings. I stumbled across the Good Doctor at a bookstore's "HEALTH/BACK" section and thumbed through his first little paperback aptly titled "MIND OVER BACK PAIN", it resonated immediately. |

You know TT, I think the only way to have these conventional doctors to adopt a mindbody approach in their practices is to wish for them to suffer from tms. If you notice you will see that most of the tms doctors only started to practice mindbody medicine after they suffered from some mindbody illnesses.

Good find Balto! People in the North West have been asking for TMS practitioners up there and there's been few. He sounds GREAT! I was reading his site looking for the "Sarno connection". It sounded too similar to the Good Doctor's theory to have been parallel development. Sure enough the connection was there. Dr. Hanscom's list of his own psychosomatic symptoms begins with migraines which were Dr. Sarno's own symptom that triggered his development of the TMS theory.
Here's the page that mentions Dr. Sarno:

Balto,
Thanks, this is cool how did you find him? Maybe he could be on the list of TMS doctors. I am slowly healing and getting more courageous. I have been journaling with my non-dominant hand and getting more accurate results from this process. Also, I am reading SteveO's book - it is great!!! How are you doing?
