The following Self-Test was designed to help determine if a person most likely has disc disease as a source of their back pain or neck pain. It is intended to identify those who would most likely be bettered by The O'Connor Technique (tm), eliminate those who would probably would not, and convince persons most likely to benefit from this self-administered diagnostic method and physical therapy technique that their time would be well-spent studying the The O'Connor Technique (tm). If the pain does, indeed, originate from displaced disc material, those who, for the most part, are otherwise healthy, not elderly, have no known major spinal x-ray abnormalities unrelated to disc disease will have back pain or neck pain that answers "true" to the following questions. The more "true" answers, the more likely one is to have disc disease amenable to The O'Connor Technique (tm). If one answers "false" there may be a very good reason why, and the explanations elaborating each response help to clarify the answers so as not to unnecessarily eliminate someone who would otherwise probably be helped. At the end of the entire test, the answers can be submitted for a total score assessment by clicking on the appropriate box. If you want to just rapidly move through the list of questions and don't feel an explanation is necessary, simply click "Just The Questions" box. So, to take the test,
