TALKING AWAY PAIN™ (TAP™)

PsychoNeuro Pain Response™ (PNPR™)
(Personal Biofeedback. No Surgery or Manipulation. Q&A Below)
Concussions
It appears that the focus has been on education about concussions and tools for its diagnosis. Rest and Tylenol seem to be the only treatments. My technique appears to be another option. It has quickly, safely eliminated the headaches, nausea and dizziness and improved concentration. Contact me for more information.

History
Based on his work with cancer patients, worker's compensation injuries and with healthy and injured athletes, Dr. Petras has developed a drugless, noninvasive injury/pain management technique that speeds healing, quickly eliminates pain and improves ranges of motion when conventional, standard medicine (CSM) and training procedures have failed to do so.
Research
Clinical trials and research have been conducted with City of St. Paul, MN (Worker's Compensation, Risk Management Divisions) and at the University of Ottawa's Sports Medicine Centre. Results show that TAP™ is safe, effective, immediate and long-lasting.
The Technique
TAP™ is a combination of well-known techniques found in literature that allow the body act as its own biofeedback device. TAP™ offers hope for health by engaging the conscious mind in interesting, focused, neutral and positive self-talk while the mind-body automatically improves in the quickest, most efficient and healthful way possible. Four steps are involved. The first is to define pain. The second is to show the individual how to control pain. The third is to determine if it is okay for the pain to be eliminated or reduced. The final step is to deal with any stress of fear the individual may be experiencing due to the pain, injury or otherwise.
Safe
There is little to no risk with the TAP™ technique. The individual is generally referred by their physician, physical therapist, trainer or other medical professional. During the sessions, the referring healthcare professional is kept appraised of the condition of his or her patient. At the completion of the sessions, the individual returns to the referring healthcare professional, in order for him or her to determine the appropriate activity levels or other treatments.
Since the introduction of the technique in 1989, there has never been a problem observed or reported.
