TMS Relief

What is TMS, or Tension Myositis Syndrome

In Holistic medicine the role of emotions and thoughts in the cause and cure of a variety of illnesses is accepted and to some degree understood. If we use the understanding of the ancient people from many different cultures or the recent research on the physiology of the nervous system, more insight is being gained on this, thus modern medicine is finally catching up with some of the wisdom of the ancient people.

Current research finally accepts that chronic and acute back pain, irritable bowel, jaw pain, tension and migraine headaches, skin rashes including eczema, some pelvic and prostatic pain ( the list can go on) can be caused or worsened by emotions such as tension, anger, fear, and grief.

Some people are more prone to these disorders than others--back pain may be more likely, for instance, in people who are depressed, excessivly critical or angry. People with chronic back pain are often suffering from what the open minded medical community is now calling, a mind-body disorder known as TMS, or Tension Myositis Syndrome, (this definition had been theorized by Dr. John Sarno at NYU's Rusk Institute)

It is a soft tissue condition that can involve the muscles, ligaments, and nerves of the back and neck, back and other soft tissue. The pain in TMS is caused or worsened by tension and in most cases, and can be eliminated in hole or part by addressing the emotional and mental components, rather than the only physical.

This diagnosis is not that well known or accepted in the broader medical field because of of the common belief in the independent existence of mind and body. Actually it seems that this same ideology pervades most of society. Genuine success in over coming "TMS" naturally requires an acceptance and understanding of the interdependent overlapping nature of our emotions, our thoughts and the body. Thankfully there is a growing number of doctors (MD's) who are understanding of this issue. In our audio blog and our public access TV appearances with Dr. Sollazzo you will see this.
