Pinoy doc relieves chronic muscle pain in seconds

- Edith P. Lagarile -
Are you suffering from chronic muscle pain – a migraine headache, insomnia, shoulder pain or acute bronchial asthma?

Dr. Christian Emmanuel Mancao is a Filipino chronic muscle pain specialist, (a doctor of medicine and a general surgeon) the founder of the Mancao Myotherapy Clinic, a Center for Chronic Muscle Pain Management. For the past 12 years, he has helped a lot of people through a method he invented – the Mancao Myofascial Release, a 15-second manipulation of the upper extremities that immediately relieves or dramatically reduces pain in patients suffering from chronic muscle pain syndromes.  

His 60-second manipulation of the lower extremities will immediately relieve low back pain and the discomfort of scoliosis. The manipulation results in a sudden rush of a pleasant feeling of relief and a sense of well-being known as the "beta-endorphin high."   

Dr. Mancao says, "Medicines for arthritis (NSAID’s) given for pain likewise kills 20,000 Americans annually. To be fair to their patients, he believes doctors should give their patients something better, like knowing how to do a manipulation. According to him, Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, taught and admonished doctors on how to do medical practice properly, by being proficient in the art of "anatripsis", which is nothing but manipulation, an art most of them have not been taught in medical school. 

During the controversial Gulf War in 1990, he was sent by the National Security Council as a volunteer physician for Operation Salaam of Desert Storm.

His remarkable innovation relieves pain instantly by a reflex response brought about by a controlled massive release of the patients’ own morphine called "beta-endorphins" through a brief manipulation of specific parts of the body. In doing a standard manipulation or myofascial release, 15 seconds is all that is needed and the pain is immediately relieved, the patient’s range of motion is dramatically improved and a sudden sensation of relief is experienced.

Most of the other methodologies which have been time-tested work from six weeks to six months, but my myofascial release works from just one to 15 seconds. So if you want immediate relief with longer-lasting pain-free intervals, this is a better option because it’s drug-free.

"And yes, there are many kinds of myotherapists – Bonnie Pruden, Carol Mannheim and many others with their different styles, but my own version is much, much faster. With it, you can remove a migraine headache in one second or stop a bronchial asthmatic attack in four to six seconds. The usual neck pain, shoulder pain, and back pain due to scoliosis can be relieved in less than 15 seconds or more appropriately, two minutes. My method is very fast to execute, gives immediate relief, it is the most practical, it can be done nearly anywhere, and the bottom line is that it works!" he enthused.  

Generally, as a rule it’s only one myofascial treatment for migraine headaches and the pain relief would be about nine months to two years. It’s one of the best for a fever, because you are going to sweat right away and the fever goes down. Strokes would be nice to do, because once the patient starts standing and walking then their recovery period is much, much shorter, says Mancao.

In myofascial release, he evaluates the patient immediately, so he will know exactly which muscle is affected, and after he has identified the cause, he treats him right away.   

"Now how do you break that vicious amplifying circle of pain? That’s the crux of the matter. If there is a person or a practitioner who has a method to break that circle, then the pain will be addressed properly," he rationalized. 

Most of pain management is handled by anesthesiologists, but they themselves are also suffering from chronic muscle pain syndromes.   

 "In many instances, I have had patients who are supposed to be operated for their low back pain and the day before their hospital surgery, they come here for a third, fourth, or fifth opinion. After their myofascial treatment, they defer their surgery," he says amusingly.  

Dr. Mancao notes: "As we say, no pain, no gain. In doing the first two seconds of a standard manipulation, there is some pain. But we call this a welcome pain, because when you initiate a pain stimuli, it makes the body release its beta-endorphins. We control the percentage of beta-endorphin release during the manipulation, so the patient immediately feels that sense of well-being after the manipulation." 

He also related the case of a 14-year- old son of a general who suffered severe leg pains. "When touched, he had convulsive-like seizures and what’s worst is that his mom had already read his suicide note. But he was transformed back to his normal self, after only three sessions of my myofascial release treatment.

Dr. Mancao emphasizes that to his knowledge, they were the first to do immediate relief myotherapy not just here in the Philippines, but even abroad. Two months ago, he was in the States studying with the Naturophatic Academy of Therapeutic Injection (NATI) Group, the members of which are manipulation specialists. They do chiropracty, osteopathy and many other therapeutical arts, but this is the first time that they heard and seen a manipulation that can relieve pain in one to 15 seconds.  

The good news is that the total solution is now with us and it works!

The Mancao Myotherapy Clinic also offers Total Cellular Ion Detoxification, which removes toxins and medicine residues from body cells. It’s a 30-minute detoxification process, which uses water as a medium for generating strong negative ions, and these negative ions will pull the toxic component of your body, which are positively charged ions. So in 30 minutes of an ion detox, you will find out that a significant amount of your toxins will be in the water medium. It’s the fastest way to do a total body detoxification.
