Dr. William Charschan “The body mechanic” Patient Advocate,
Enthusiastic Medical Practitioner and Educator

Based on years of experience and thousands of successful pain-related patient care outcomes, Dr. Charschan believes pain and functional limitation is a symptom of mechanical problems. Moreover, functional and mechanical problems need functional and mechanical solutions. Expensive testing, medication and surgery are last resorts, not answers. To prove it, Dr. Charschan can provide a live audience participation demonstration where he assesses an audience member’s pain-related symptoms, correctly identifies and addresses the real source of the problem. SPOILER ALERT: The source of the problem is almost never what you think it is.

Dr. Charschan lives and practices in central New Jersey and has treated thousands of patients of all ages, including celebrity and amateur athletes. He is the medical director of USA Track and Field New Jersey, maintains several popular blogs educating readers and addressing health care issues and plays a mean guitar for his New Jersey band, “Midlife Crisis.”

Dr. Charschan is a patient-consumer and health care provider educator and advocate helping patients find answers and choose the kind of health care providers that can allow them to live a healthier and more pain free life. A frequent speaker at local health related and business networking events, Dr. Charschan “The body mechanic” delights in telling stories; using examples, metaphors, presentations and props to make a point.
