"There is no substitute for learning how to control
your own musculoskeletal pain."

-- David G. Simons, M. D.

Myofascial pain is extremely common, rarely considered and often misdiagnosed yet its patterns are remarkably consistent. For example, the "sinus pain" shown above (perhaps with dizziness, poor balance, nausea, and visual disturbances) may be coming not from the head (or inner ear), but from the sternocleidomastoid muscle of the neck. Knee cap pain may be coming from your hip. Knee, groin, pelvic, or menstrual pain with no obvious organic cause may be coming from tight adductor muscles. Surprisingly, over 85% of the time, where you hurt is not where the pain originates.

Pain charts allow you to identify the patterns and the actual source of the pain. Click here for an overview of head pain patterns. Our Range-of-Motion Testing charts aid in identifying shortened muscles even before they cause pain and injury. Click here for a sampler of cervical ROM tests which reveal the muscular origins of much head and neck pain.

If you have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, or suspect a slowed metabolism, be aware that low thyroid, in addition to low iron and other nutritional inadequaces have proven to be strongly involved in fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndromes. Now you can test your thyroid, iron, and cholesterol at home.

But are you eating enough to support healthy metabolism and lose weight? Calcium is critical to muscle contraction, but are you getting enough magnesium to allow them to relax? Enough B6 to avoid night-time leg cramps? Too much cholesterol? Find out with DietPower.
