Reddit reviews Healing Back Pain: The Mind-Body Connection

If you don't mind my being nebby, this book helped a lot with my back pain. It's a little bit woo, but it's basically about how emotional stress can manifest as physical pain. There's some suggestions for dealing with it too.

This book healed me:

Read this book, it changed my life.

Healing Back Pain

Two suggestions. 1.) Go to acupuncture 2.) Read this or ANY book on the subject by Dr. John Sarno. He's healed countless celebrities and others.

Dr. Sarno was a legend, starting in the 1960s. He recently passed away. Read the comments on Amazon at least, even if you don't read the book. It helped me, not with back pain, but with ALL my running injuries. (I started to meditate in 2011, no injuries since).

I've heard from multiple people about this book over the last couple weeks though I have no personal experience with it. My experience with back issues was completely weight related. I carried all my extra weight around my midsection and had chronic back pain. After losing over 60lbs the pain dissipated and hasn't returned.

It's psychosomatic.


I'm sure right now people are thinking that I'm saying "your pain is not real". I had this pain. I know it's real.
You probably have something called "TMS".

Reading this book and absorbing it cured me of back pain. http://www.amazon.com/Healing-Back-Pain-Mind-Body-Connection/dp/0446392308


Read the reviews. Buy the book. Or borrow it.

You have to keep an open mind, because many people cannot accept this way of thinking about their pain (or other TMS-related malady). I think it's because they get insulted or offended they are not being taken seriously because they think they are being told the pain they have is due to some sort of "mental weakness".
It's not weakness. The pain is brain's method to distract you from some unresolved stress or misplaced rage -- stuff that almost everyone carries with them. And TMS manifests itself as different problems with different people. It can be back pain, allergies, knee problems, so-called "fibromyalgia", irritable bowel.. you name it-- it's probably TMS.

The author of this book had also proven that bulging discs, herniated discs, "misalignment" of the spine causing compressed nerves do not cause pain. There are tens of millions of people who lead pain free lives who have all sorts of these "problems" in the spine.

And because the pain is mental, chiropractic, heat, cold, accupuncture, drugs, surgery- you name it- will only give you temporary relief (placebo effect).


Trust the author of this book. He does not hawk his books anywhere. He does not do any public advertising of his books or his theory.

And it's really no "theory". It's really what causes most pain and other illnesses.
(Obviously there are serious illnesses and trauma where TMS does not apply. No one is suggesting cancer and heart disease are psychosomatic- or that if you are in a car accident your pain is all in your head.)

Haven’t had a single issue since (10 yrs)

Herniated disk? Consider reading this

My husband went through this same cycle. It is nearly the exact story you posted.

Turned out to be all stress based. He read the book Healing Back Pain, which is basically a book about how your body will create pains and issues for you to distract you from dealing with your mental issues. As soon as he started understanding that that was his problem, all his symptoms cleared up. We have thousands of dollars of medical to pay off now because of this.

I really feel for you because he was at his wit's end with all these issues and you sound like you are as well. Feel free to PM me if you need to talk.
