ReviewsHealing Back Pain promises permanent elimination of back pain without drugs, surgery or exercise. It should have been titled Understanding TMS Pain, because it discusses one particular cause of back pain---Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS)--and isn't really a program for self-treatment, with only five pages of action plan (and many more pages telling why conventional methods don't work). According to John E. Sarno, M.D., TMS is the major cause of pain in the back, neck, shoulders, buttocks and limbs--and it is caused not by structural abnormalities but by the mind's effort to repress emotions. He's not saying that your pain is all in your head; rather, that the battle going on in your mind results in a real physical disorder, which may affect muscles, nerves, tendons or ligaments. An injury may have triggered the disorder, but is not the cause of the amount or intensity of the resulting pain. According to Sarno, the mind tricks you into not facing repressed emotion by making you focus on pain in the body. When this realisation sinks in (''and it must sink in, for mere intellectual appreciation of the process is not enough''),the trick doesn't work any more and there's no need for the pain.(Healing BackPain should not be used for self-diagnosis. Always consult a physician for chronic or acute back pain). - Joan Price, AMAZON.CO.UK REVIEW

Good informative book for those who suffer from backaches.

Psychobabble
I'm all for holistic medicine like NUCCA chiropractic and the like, but this is 100% grade D junk. There's big pharma and surgery at one end of the spectrum and then there's this at the kook end of mind control and self healing. If you're into pagan meditation, secular humanism, or even witchcraft; this might be for you. If your looking for real healing, I'd look elsewhere.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Read this if you have back pain
I bought this recently for a friend, but had read it for the first time thirty years ago, when I had back pain. Because of this book, I have been pain-free. You need to open your mind to believe how strong the mind-body connection is and understand that it's not just stress that causes the pain, but how you deal with it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Life changing information
Very profound information that has been proved in my case. This book, among with Dr. Scott Brady's book Pain Free for Life, got me journaling out my worries and stresses and truly helped me release my muscle pain. My other illness is much easier to handle mentally and emotionally with the practical, usable information in this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Power of the mind
This book was recommended to me by my dads friend who is an oral surgeon, he actually talked to Sarno. The book is a guide to a different way of dealing with some of the pains that pop up without any real incident, that maybe some of the things that occur could possibly be do to stress and our work environment. I have found that it has helped me and that I can relate to some of the writings in this book. I am very active and am willing to open my mind to something that may help with my health. At less than $10 dollars its worth a shot to help out.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Body, Mind and Soul work together to heal.
If you take this book seriously, it will heal your pain. Reread if necessary. I am on my 11th page of journaling. It works, though I still have a little pain which I am still working on by journaling. Look at the YouTube videos.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
