Ending Chronic Pain When
Other Treatments Have Failed
Dr. Tom Chi, known as The Pain Whisperer®, has spent decades treating difficult chronic pain. Most patients have exhausted physical therapy, injections, medications, pain management and even multiple surgeries.
He pioneered a unique method of detecting and manually repairing injuries which are the cause of most all chronic pain. Even pain associated with arthritis. Difficult condition such as plantar fasciitis, non-responsive neck and back pain. Precluding hundreds of hip and knee replacements.
Patients travel from across the United States and internationally for his intensive hands-on treatment, with lasting elimination of chronic pain most often achieved in a single treatment.

Three patients scheduled for hip or knee replacement participated in the demonstration, accompanied by Teresa Orton, N.P., from the joint replacement clinic.
Their surgeon subsequently called off all three replacement surgeries.
At a one-year follow-up, the patients reportedly remained free of the pain for which surgery had been scheduled, with no need for joint replacement.

FAQs
Answers to common questions about treatment, conditions and visiting The Pain Whisperer.
Dr. Chi is a Grandmaster of Wing Chun Kung Fu. His teacher was Bruce Lee's oldest kung fu brother in the Hong Kong school.
Chi adapted sophisticated hand-sensitization exercises from kung fu to develop extraordinary palpation skills, allowing him to identify injuries associated with otherwise unresponsive chronic pain.
His unique hands-on treatment then manually repairs those injuries so that they no longer persist and the pain is eliminated, typically with lasting results.
