Product Description:
The renowned author of the classic Mind Over Back Pain has written a new guide examining revolutionary treatments to relieve pain without exercise, medication, or physical therapy.
Amazon.com Review:
Healing Back Pain promises permanent elimination ofback pain without drugs, surgery, or exercise. It should have beentitled Understanding TMS Pain, because it discusses oneparticular cause of back pain--Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS)--andisn't really a program for self-treatment, with only five pages ofaction plan (and many more pages telling why conventional methodsdon't work). According to John E. Sarno, M.D., TMS is the major causeof pain in the back, neck, shoulders, buttocks, and limbs--and it iscaused not by structural abnormalities but by the mind's effort torepress emotions. He's not saying that your pain is all in your head;rather, he's saying that the battle going on in your mind results in areal physical disorder that may affect muscles, nerves, tendons, orligaments. An injury may have triggered the disorder, but is not thecause of the amount or intensity of the resulting pain. According toSarno, the mind tricks you into not facing repressed emotion by makingyou focus on pain in the body. When this realization sinks in ('and itmust sink in, for mere intellectual appreciation of the process is notenough'), the trick doesn't work any more, and there's no need for thepain. (Healing Back Pain should not be used forself-diagnosis. Always consult a physician for chronic or acute backpain.) --Joan Price
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Learning to read might be the first emotional problem to overcome
I was sort of amazed that at least five reviewers here knocked Dr. Sarno's book because they couldn't find a method in the book to follow. For example:
"I read it, and it didn't change a thing. And there is no description of the actual method."
"Sarno's book helped me understand the cause of my back pain, but I was left with no clear steps to take to get rid of the pain."
"Be warned -- there's no actual treatment plan in this book."
"He doesn't ... Read More
Rating: - It will take more than just reading it but it DOES WORK!
Some people say just reading it and they aren't "cured" It won't happen right away.. But it will happen you need to believe in it and give it a chance. I used this book years ago and it worked for me. Now I had another stressful event of being abandoned and lied to and yup here is the pain again. I had to reread the book and talk to my mind.. try and let out all the emotions I was holding back. It's getting better. You can tell. The pain moves around. 1st it was in my shoulder blade, then my neck ... Read More
Rating: - No more confusion. Follow Dr. Sarno's advise. You will heal.
As a personal fitness trainer I have seen how diet and exercise works
in preventing the reacurrence of back pain. Recently however, I saw a close family member in the midst of excrutiating back pain. We both felt helpless, and confused. Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection
Dr. Sarno's book really helped!

Rating: - I can't believe it works
I stumbled on Dr. Sarno's book while I was searching for cure to my pain. I have had neck, leg and back pain for 6 months and it gets worse everyday. I tried everything I can find, nothing worked. Even pain killer didn't work. MRI shows L5 disc pressed the nerve, disc degeration...I was convinced that I will be bed ridden when I am in my 60s.
After I read the review here, I bought the book and read it as soon as I got it. The pain went away in a day!!!I shared this with my mother in law ... Read More
Rating: - help is on the way
This particular Dr. Sarno book has been extremely helpful to several of my acquaintances and myself in over-coming physical pain such as backaches, sciatica,headaches, arthritis, and more.If you follow Sarno's thoughts, and are able to be objective and self-analyze, you may find that many pain issues can be helped and conquered with TMS.It's worth the read.
