Chronic pain affects millions worldwide, significantly reducing quality of life, impacting emotional well-being, and imposing tremendous healthcare costs.
Despite making up 40% of body mass, muscles are often overlooked as a key cause of chronic pain.
Unnecessary Surgeries and Invasive Procedures
Current medical practice disproportionately focuses on structural issues such as bones, joints, and nerves-often ignoring muscles entirely. This oversight leads millions into invasive surgeries, injections, and treatments that frequently fail to resolve their pain, causing prolonged suffering and diminished quality of life.
Widespread Misdiagnosis and Ineffective Treatments
Without accurate diagnosis of muscle-based pain, healthcare professionals prescribe treatments that rarely address the actual cause. Patients face years of ineffective therapies, escalating healthcare costs, frustration, and declining overall health.
Lack of Awareness Among Medical Professionals
Medical curricula around the world rarely include in-depth training on muscle pain diagnosis and treatment, resulting in generations of healthcare providers who are unequipped to recognize and manage this pervasive issue effectively.
Chronic pain costs the U.S. alone billions each year-exceeding annual expenditures on cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
Patients endure years of unresolved pain, impaired mobility, diminished mental health, and reduced ability to engage meaningfully in daily life.
Over-reliance on invasive, expensive interventions that often fail to address underlying muscular causes drains healthcare resources and limits access to truly effective care.
